Oh do fuck off
I’m not stating anything as fact, I’m expressing my view on something. We are a better team than Liverpool in my view, we’ve finished above them twice in a row and despite the fact that they have not significantly strengthened in that time we are nine points behind them de-facto. Yes we’ve had significant injuries and refereeing fuckery to deal with
I know you don’t like this word being used (but that’s a you problem), but I consider that unacceptable. And just as Crocodile Greeky takes the blame for the number of players injured for Spurs, so does Arteta have to take some responsibility.
Just as he has to take responsibility for restraining our ability to score goals even more than it is through overcaution.
And yes it is more humiliating than a one off defeat against Birmingham City in my view, a) I don’t give a fuck about the league cup b) we first found ourselves 9 points behind Liverpool in November we have had plenty of time to remedy that, they’ve dropped 8 points since then
