But think of all that lovely money!
When Odegaard dictates our play everything becomes so obvious and predictable, especially when we are a goal down.
Arteta should have just approached this game like he did the others, but his ego got the best of him and he wanted to force a performance out of his starting eleven.
Might end up being a positive to lose early though, maybe we'll start taking the basics ( like set pieces) seriously again.
We had 16 shots, 1 on target, 9 blocked, 6 off target (too high or wide)
No way of knowing whether blocked shots would have been on target or not
You are simply incorrigible
Frank did the same, was his ego also an issue
I don't think they've had positive results this preseason....plus he's a new coach and their is probably no better way to get on the right side of his supporters than by beating us by whatsoever means necessary.
Probably his record against us was one of the reasons he got the job in the first place
They pretty much just sat back and defended after taking the lead.

I'd love to see some analysis of pre-season results and whether they correlate in any way with success in the following season.
I'd be very surprised if there is any link.
Just seen the goal
Dear me.
We've done this before, there really isn't.....I mean with us anyway.
