Oh man, suddenly missing the match for family lunch doesn't seem so bad after all, what happened... Tough one to take.
Arsenal started like a train Neo, we could have been 2-0 down after 5 mins, Mig made two very good saves.
Then we settled, started playing our football, and Markovic hit a terrible pass when clean through. Sterling then over hit a cross to Henderson who was unmarked and would have been in as well.
Arsenal then scored, a good finish after poor defending from Moreno. Ozil scored a great free-kick 2 mins later and it was game over.
We were then all over the shop, 3-0 ht.
Second half as expected we restored a bit of pride, and they took it easy.
Damage was done with the 3 goals in 7 mins or whatever it was.
If we had scored first it would have been a different game, but as many times this season we are not clinical in good positions.
Arsenal were worthy winners and played very well on the attack. We had spaces and chances at 0-0 though that we shouldn't have wasted.
3 at the back doesn't work for you at all
It does, that's why we went 13 games unbeaten, reached the league cup semi and FA Cup QF.
Today we badly missed Skrtel, who has been a rock in that period.
No disgrace in losing to Arsenal. No tactics would have made any difference, we just had to score first.
Thanks righteous, seems like a bad one, as you say we are far too wasteful in the big matches particularly away from home. Skrtels been our best player for months I knew we would miss him, but not this much to be fair.
Safe to say that's the end of top 4 for us. Massively important we at least make the FA cup final now to save what's looking like ending as a poor season. If we lose in the final then so be it as they are better than us but no excuses not to reach the final. Hopefully we can rest a few for them.
