I would like to know what Arteta told them at half time in the last 2 games.

we've been good up until that point.

Then seemed totally to give in and lack any energy or ideas.

I think it's more what the opposition manager has told his players at half-time. They make subtle changes which MA seems unwilling to counter in timely fashion.

On a separate note, I thought Tommy did ok last night.

:nod: he is reactive, Emery totally outdone him tactically on Sunday. He saw a big weakness and made the right sub.

I think it's a bit niave that he thinks well we done ok so lets carry on.
Villa the warning signs were there before the 1st half ended.

In both games the opposition upped their intensity in the second half but I think it was to do with our energy levels. We rely on too many players to play every week and now they are playing twice a week, 90 minutes is a problem
