Can’t help thinking this was again a lack of in-game management by only using 1 sub. Would Arteta not have been better thinking further up the pitch to maintain lead, rather than flogging an exhausted back line? Hindsight googles maybe, but a nagging worry.

Spot on Blogs. It’s the sycophantic nature of the media, always has been. Never forget Fergie’s moaning when Arsene was first getting all that positive attention! I think the best take would be to not worry too much about what they say, good or bad and let’s just win a big one and enjoy it! 👊🏼

As a dad of a teenage daughter who plays at academy level, I often wonder are children worked too hard at too young an age these days chasing the ‘pro footballer dream’ and could this have a negative impact later on re injuries, whatever level they play?

Great measured piece.Debate will rage on none the less!My take remains,for a very intelligent coach who deals in the margins,this was a missed opportunity.They may never be as vulnerable as they were on Sunday and our intent lacked ambition of future champions. Lots of change come May, let’s see.

Just excuses. We’ve spent a lot this summer to not use those excuses anymore. We just need to make sure our best players are on the pitch.

That’s our scar tissue talking! Just think Arteta shit the bed this time, no more than that.

Don’t see meltdown on here. I see ambition, which supporters have every right to discuss given our summer business. It’s also a take on the football, which lacked ambition. Difference of opinion doesn’t mean meltdown.

They looked the most vulnerable they’ve looked for years, and we have a player that could exploit that vulnerability…on the bench. Instead we play safe, nothing football, that is seen as smart…right up until it’s not. Just my take, accept you don’t agree.

Eze not ready to start? He’s a professional footballer of a very high quality. What makes you think he can’t start? The ‘system’? We really need to get out of our own way.

Hard pill to swallow, but genuinely don’t think this is an emotional take. What was the summer build for? Why not play your best players?

Lewis, think your football knowledge is second to none. But we’ve got to stop looking at ‘players being back’ as an excuse for not getting the job done. That’s the whole point of the summer build. Need to win with what is out there and that set up didn’t give us a chance.

Not a frothing at the mouth Arteta out kind of guy, but absolute stupidity not to play our best footballing team. He got this all wrong. The squad building a sign of intent and instead we see a performance from 5 yrs ago.

Can see from comments Phillipe that a lot of people think you’ve called this wrong, but I’m in full agreement with you. He got it all wrong. Not just the wonder goal. We had a chance coming in, and we blew it before a ball was kicked.

This is not about you Blogs, I mean more generally btw, but talk of No. 2 goalies has got to be the most boring and uninspiring of all transfer talk.
