To talk about bottling it is unfair IMO, they've probably just been run down by all the injuries, sendings off etc plus Liverpool's ability to get enough points to stay well ahead

I also think there's a general naivety about a young manager and (in general) young squad, Odegaard annoyed me a lot on Saturday, too far over to the right and often trying to be too clever

I agree Arteta's tactics are our main failing, I think he should be moved on but he won't be, that's why I keep saying we need more ruthlessness a la Abramovic's Chelsea, yes there was a LOT wrong with that regime but they knew what they (and the fans) wanted and second places (even first places sometimes) weren't good enough

And that's not saying the owners are complacent, I just don't think they know enough to realise Arteta's failings and there's no-one at the club to tell them

I think Edu's departure was highly significant, I'm now really concerned some players, e.g
Saliba, will move on as they lose the belief that we can win anything
