As I and many others predicted in the build up to this match, there would be no basketball-style game, leading to goals galore. Instead, this was every bit the chess match, played between two teams who are stylistically even matched and two managers who follow similar footballing philosophies. There was the inevitable chiding online from [...]
As I said on last night's Same Old Arsenal podcast, the one word that keeps ringing through my head both yesterday and this morning: Frustration. I'm frustrated at the performance.
