Nah, not really. if you've followed any of our recent games, you'd see we can't keep the ball. Despite a big drop in our possession stats since our midfield was ravaged with injuries, we still entered this game as the top team in the league in passes completed and time in possession. But just in our last game against Newcastle AT HOME, Newcastle split possession 50-50 with us. Flamini and Ox simply can't keep the ball. Our only midfielder currently who can is Cazorla. Arteta, Wilshere, Ramsey and Ozil's absences have had a huge effect. Even Rosicky can't keep fit as an option. Ox didn't train all week and needed injections to play this match. I can actually cut our midfield some slack today for the sloppiest performance I've seen from us in possession.

Since Opta started compiling stats, that's by far our worst game in possession in the league. If you think it's solely because of amazing tactical ingenuity, that's okay.

Not soley but certainly has a lot to do with it. Our pressing was excellent too, which made it difficult for you to keep the ball, especially when your defenders became nervous, trying to hoof it away but made a hash of it.

Sure, your energy was a lot better than ours. You had a quick start and we never really had any rhythm. But I still believe our midfield injury problems are responsible. We just about managed with Arteta, Wilshere and Ozil out, but the final straw was Ramsey's recent injury. If you've spent any time on our board, you'll know our CM partnership of Flamini and Ox is considered a joke.
