We were very comfortable 2nd half until the 75th or so; Sp**s we’re always gonna have a good spell. Rewatched the match and that spell looked even less relevant; we defended well.Counters and transitions, I’m talking about situations where the defence isn’t set. It’s easier to score in those situations but that isn’t our problem.
We did not need to do anything in the second half or couldn’t? Don’t lie to yourself. Yeah at 3-0 up you cruise, but you can’t tell me that second half went to plan for us.
Anyway the main reason I’m annoyed is that Mikel has earned himself another six months with this win but this win didn’t show any progress in the areas we needed to see progress and our board definitely isn’t smart enough to see that. Similar example is United regularly winning big games but their real issue is being able to dominate against smaller teams.
Now that arteta has his players we’ll do much better against deep blocks. It’s one of his greatest strengths
