It's obviously good that started so convincingly and went in to a seemingly comfortable lead early. But disappointing that we once again conceded and ended up hanging on somewhat. We have to stop that, especially these days when there are so many minutes of injury time. We're not going to keep getting away with this.
We play a lot more aggressively at home than away from home. And the way we set up often leaves us vulnerable to the counter.

What I will say though is that overall, after the Spurs game we have looked a lot better defensively at home. We’ve conceded two goals in four games (two in six if you include the champions league)

Yesterday was far more about an individual error than a leaky defence. And that is important to note given Wolves are a dangerous side on the counter attack and we really didn’t give much away and Saliba especially as he often does dealt well with pace.

Overall we’ve conceded 8 in 8 at home in the league, not great but not a giant cause for concern either. I think overall we will keep more clean sheets at home this season than last. But also I just think we are more inclined to be defensive away from home, we have kept almost twice as many clean sheets away from home under Arteta and you also have to think we score fewer as well, because ultimately as good as your defence is, unless you’re the most clinical side going you either attack or you defend
