We've made too many silly defensive mistakes which have cost us points and cost us trophies. If we've learnt some lessons about that and are doing that better then great. I wouldn't want us to be boring boring Arsenal again but sometimes you need to shut up shop and protect a lead in a tight game. You don't just win titles with a "you score 3, we'll score 4" attitude.
Ill tell you about mistakes.

How about the one where you idiotically delay taking a throw for just 2 seconds (yeah...nice timewasting) allowing the recipient to become tightly marked, meaning he is instantly depossessed and the opponents are free to attack.

Dont kid yourselves with these excuses.

Jenkinson is a thick, shit player and this was just another example.
