When the season is properly analysed, it will be clear that it this arrogance Arteta has of consistently underestimating mid table teams that killed any chance of us winning the league....as most of our games in the league aren't going to be against the Citehs and Liverpools...... honestly the stupidity of walking straight into a wall game after game is so fucking infuriating.

Anyway, whats done is done.

Like I said on another thread, I'm glad the first leg against PSG is at home as I expect that to be tougher leg seeing the kind of performance the team has gotten use to delivering in front of their paying fans. This result will only make them jittery and more nervous.

I just hope, whatever we get, we'll have a strong team able to salvage something in the 2nd leg.
Honestly, have we got to April with people still thinking that we simply choose not to play better against mid table teams who allow us to dominate possession.

No we haven’t, I’m pretty sure you acknowledged yourself that we’d rather play Barcelona than Inter in the final because of how it would suit us better.

Don’t get me wrong I think we need not just strikers but better attacking midfielders to combat this, but it’s not a mindset issue. It’s a we don’t have the attacking players to break teams down unless they give us space issue
