replacement. Outstanding today. Understanding with Arteta mouth watering. Gerv in great form. We had complete control of the game for 90 minutes. Defense looks strong. We will have games like these with two banks of four in front of the keeper. if we do not scoore early or do not win, important is to not lose them.
The goals will come. Both Pod and Giroud got opprtunities. Did not burry them, but it will come.
Only long term worry from today is the absence of a true DM. Arteta did a fine job, but that is not his specialty and against top teams, it will not be enough. Diaby does not have the discipline to to do it and le Coq is still learning. Get that sorted with the money now in the bank, and we will contend.
