Yep that's the question to ask and the only answer is the defence. Anyone can miss a pen so it's not Arteta's fault (even though he was pure crap today). You can't blame Giroud when we all know Wenger has pre-determined the penalty takers. Giroud was our best player in both attack and defence. On the few occasions we effectively cleared a set piece it was always Giroud winner the headers out. For all of Merts good reading of games, critical interceptions etc this season the guy is appalling in the air. Kos is just a constant brain fart and Sagna seemed to have the wrong studs on as he spent more time on his arse.
We seriously miss Gibbs in both a defensive and attacking sense. We had no go forward down our left flank at all today.
I just finished watching the Everton game, Fellaini is surely a must-get in January
