    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.
    F*ck knows how no one (I'm looking at you Declan) put some pressure on the ball and let that Porto pr1ck have a pop from there - insane

    What infuriated me (apart from the ref and Porto players throwing themselves to the floor) was our inability to play the ball ahead of Martinelli for him to run onto. The space was there and they kept playing either behind him or straight to him.

    Whilst I thought Havertz was about the same as the rest of them last night, there was a ball late in the first half into Martinelli that would have put him in - he f*cked it up

    It is because we won the ball three times and gave it straight back to them. That causes anxiety and pulls people out of position.

    You could criticise Raya for being too far off his line but three times he has adjusted assuming we are going to be moving up the pitch....

    You can chuck the ball away once but the second time you have to deal with it. We didn't. 9 times out of 10 the guy skies it or curls it wide. You could argue we were a bit unlucky but sometimes you make your own bad luck.

    The thing that REALLY causes anxiety and pulls people out of position is not taking your chances; we ought to have been a couple of goals to the good long before they scored.
