This was a classic cup tie kind of game.
A big club with no ambition against a big club with title ambition.
A has been keeper against a world class keeper.
An appalling defence against a competent defence.
As expected the club with no ambition huffed and puffed, but when it came down to quality, the big club with ambition saw it out comfortably.
Arsenal are a massive business with an average team. Yesterday proved that again.
However, it's unfair to blame the defence alone. Yes, kocielny and Mustafi (What a pathetic pairing..) deserve serious bollocking - but then again both of them appear to be so stupid that even a bollocking would be lost on them.
We had countless chances to score and nobody was prepared to do it.
Bad luck, penalties denied...my arse. How many chances were missed by Arsenal. with 70% possession.
Our teams style of play reflects our manager and board. No ambition and not prepared to invest a little bit more to gain a lot more.
Mourinho must have enjoyed that one.
Wenger out.
Still for those who refuse to smell the coffee, open their eyes, deal with the facts etc etc etc- there's always the 4th place trophy to go for....oh and the Europa league title which we qualified for last season. I suppose we should be thankful for that.....
