Offered absolutely nothing going forward all night and we've been sloppy.
Had three chances to clear that ball in the last minute of injury time. Silly. :-(

Sloppy yes, but you have to give them credit defensively, they defended in and around their box exceptionally well. It was Mourinhoesque.Quote:

The problem with our attempts to control and kill games is our ability to find a way to concede goals. That goal just shouldn't have happened.
This wasn't good enough and Arteta will be fuming.
Right. Time for another trip to Dubai, imo.Quote:
