Thought I’d pre-empt McNamara That Ghost here.
It’s not yet half time but clear that this one’s already lost (currently at 0-3). Defence abysmal and not for the first time. Side has never been settled, though I concede a number of distant away matches have been played just now. I just can’t see Arteta motivating this lot into any retaliation. Feel sorry for the youngsters in the side, it’s demoralising.
I’ve seen this happen before of course but it doesn’t make the present situation any better.
Now at FT and 3-3 I still see problems. We rode our luck and Lacazette the only Arsenal player to score. Aubameyang? Pfft.
I’ve followed this club for 53 years now. Foe me and leaving the hungrier, younger players aside, I feel apprehensive about any improvement for a couple of seasons at least.
