Never seen team work harder of the ball for years and year. It like we been watching bayern and seen how their workrate of the ball has made them so hard to beat and learnt to do it ourselves.

That why we become so hard to break down at the back.

Well to the clough and taylor the modern age. Arsene wenger and steve bould. :bow:

Newcastle were free to pass the ball at will in their own half. By contrast, whenever an Arsenal player had the ball he usually had two or three opponents round him and no team-mate getting to nearby space to help him out.

when they came near our half they had seven or eight arsenal players in front of them pressing them to death. That is why we become hard to break down/

Fact is we created more chances as our movement of the ball was on another level to them. But what makes it even more speical is how hard we worked to defend in our half.

So hail to steve bould and arsene for this change in the team. :bow:

for them to create any chances with how much we denied them space. we defend as a whole team now as theo pointed out.

this season in a different kind of way and now we following on ourselves in attacking at will but when we lose the ball pressing our opponents in numbers to make hard to concide.

Sign of winning side of the future. :bow:

games and only one goal from open play since march

Here some stastistics. Only let in one goal from open play since march. the other four goals have been two from pens. one from set piece. one from a free kick.

That show how hard we are to break down and that is no hypebole.

And perhaps as Sir C says, we did press higher up in the first half.

What Barca and Bayern did/do is probably only possible because of drugs.

from them about pressing well in our half and from pressing well high up the pitch.

It what you need to be as a team these days to become succesful ash.

Also, since when do goals that aren't from open play become irrelevant? We've conceded 3 or more penalties in the last month plus so surely that speaks volumes about our pressing and workrate that teams are freely getting into the right areas in order to win a penalties and/or dangerous freekicks.

its shows we have let in the least amount of chances of any top team since march.

Also the point is we have not let in many goals and that is due to how hard we work of the ball to stop teams scoring.

and he probally been on to arsene about how important it is about pressing off the ball. So that why we been so hard to break down and no doubt having steve their has been a key thing

After the Spurs defeat the defenders broke with post match protocol the next day at training and got together to watch their inept performance against spurs by themselves. Their was an interview with mertesacker about it

We're 4th because we deserve to be.

Rose tinted focusing on the run of games since March, a lot of which were favourable in the opposition we played, is f**king silly in the extreme.

Still nailed on for a quadruple next season.
