They chose my MOTM too
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Who?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Hojbjerg. Been excellent today.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Brilliant player, well deserved. Would have been easy to give it to Kane.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Lots of players to choose from though.

Ok I admit I wont moan at that result or performance but my problem is we do exactly the same against the likes of Burnley
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Yeah. It's a shame that we seem intent on being so negative in these second halves. Takes the gloss off the wins.

I think this shows that Jose has still got it.

PEH MOM COYS

I don't think it does. Winning 2-1 would have taken the gloss off more.

Yeah it's not exciting to watch but it's impressive that we have the discipline and quality in defence to do this now. If it means we have less 3-3s and losing vital knockout games I'm all for it.

Which it could have been to be fair in that second half. Loads of possession for Arsenal and lack of being clinical.

People here prefer to lose but having played well

I have supported an attacking, exciting but failing team for too many years. If we win a trophy with boring, negative football I'm fully on board.

Can`t wait for Piers Morgan`s inevitable rant

I might agree if I thought it was necessary but we have the players to win something and play attractive football

Sure it's great defensively, but I want to see us attack as well.

To go a whole half with so little possession and almost no appearances in their box is frustrating to me. But I'm still pleased with the result.

Playing like we did first half saw us score twice and look ok so why did we need to sit back totally in the second half we could have done the same as the first half thats my objection

Yeah this. We have a good squad of attacking talent, and we were playing the team in 15th place. I think we can afford to be more adventurous.

Spot on, we have 2 world class forwards why can’t we play offensive football in 2nd half

The end justifies the means
-------------------------------------------------------------------

But the end could have been 4-0 which would have improved our goal difference.

I wonder if you will still admire these defensive tactics so much if we finish 2nd at the end of the season by goal difference losing the prem by one goal.

What would you think about these tactics then?
