There does seem to be this deep seated nervousness within Arsenal that goes back many years
In one of my favourite films of recent years Grand Hotel Budapest - Ralph Fiennes’ character describes someone as “shaking like a shitting dog” and that whole 2-0 down, 3-2 up affair in the fa cup final was a case of nervousness…especially given we’d lost at Wembley in a final previously to Birmingham City and were taken to penalties by Wigan.
This feels to me like Shaking like a shitting Dog syndrome. Now this absolutely does not absolve Arteta….for me he should have recognised it after the Anfield game and looked to address it, but it seems like he’s a rabbit in the headlights…sticking with the same team because he’s afraid to change things up at this late stage
