Then again I don’t think we were guilty of not showing ambition against Inter, we just didn’t have the quality in attack to break them down. Therefore I think that had we gone for it against Brighton it’s far more likely that we would have lost rather than won, and in those circumstances I prefer a draw to a defeat.
What Arteta’s decision suggested to me was an admission that our attack was not good enough to win us the game with ten men (I agreed then and I agree now) but it’s a damning indictment on him for spending so much on defenders when that money could have been used on attacking players
