Dumber. Doing the working uses pathways you just lose. You learn new ones but so far it feels like when we stopped using our sense of direction and started using satnav.

The media has despicable, disgusting set pieces to focus on mate. No point wasting airtime and column inches on that stuff when Arteta has been expressive during the match and walked down the tunnel after a late goal conceded.

I’m a biased Walcott truther to be fair.

This feels harsh. His commentary can be too nice (his pony trotting off the ball) which is for me a better comparison with his punditry - a bit beige/party line. At his peak and without injury he was one of the first names on the team sheet and had good end product.

We could have won it with a bit more sense. Inviting them to play to their strengths for the last period was foolish. And Arteta’s use of the bench was poor again.

This is what had me livid. Merino and Saka were beyond fumes. Even Timber was done in. Consequently there was no out ball and nobody to close down the crosses. For such a details manager I find it maddening that he constantly does this.

Agree. Doesn’t look fit.

Yeah you can take one decision, especially if it balances but then another. In the most important game of the season that’s a tough one to take.
