“Other clubs never came into my thoughts once I knew Arsenal wanted to sign me.”
As well as we played, I couldn't help but notice how little pressure Chelsea put on us. When we lost 3-1 at Chelsea I lost count of the number of times Kante and Matic pressed us and easily won the ball back. Now our Swiss maestro endlessly picking out the right ball at the right time certainly helped, but Chelsea seemed a different team.
Not focused because they assumed they would murder us? Possibly. Kante stopped taking his special pills because he didn't think he needed them? Maybe.
But as good as we were, Chelsea were that poor as well with Kante right at the top of that list. The POTY was shocking, and no mistake.
What I don't understand is how when we get beaten the other team are much better than us and when the other team gets beaten it's because they are poor. Can we never be good?
Well, I certainly intended to leave the impression that we were as good as they were bad. 2-1 very, very, very much flattered them and that team is good enough that that isn't going to happen if they play well.
Kante standing around watching Ramsey run/stroll completely unmarked into their box was not a magical run losing a very good player. It was just Kante being unaware, lazy or both. And that was hardly the only time during the game he did something like that. He just seemed to be miles off the pace.
Drugs innit
