So I was curious as to whether 12 hours on I’d feel any different from yesterday

I don’t….all this stuff about reacting to the Everton result is a pathetic excuse. What’s more illuminating is that we’ve lost three times in a row at home to Brighton and if anything have moved further away from neutralising the threat they carry.

This is not a case of holding your hands up and saying they were better on the day…it’s examining why that was the case they didn’t do anything they haven’t done all season. Which suggests that a) Arteta got it wrong with his tactics or B) The players just weren’t up for it or C) Both

Arteta is quite right to apologise, we aren’t some provincial club that punched above its weight we are one of the biggest clubs in England….standards should always be high and there should be hell to pay when they are not met. Yesterday was a game where I genuinely felt ashamed of every player on the pitch….they simply did not try. They didn’t like being kicked about and just gave up.
