Thanjk you.

Disappointing. Beat at our own game in the second half. They upped the pressure and we made mistakes. We tried to pressure and they just passed around and kept possession until we dropped back.
Jordan's goal was absolutely vital, but what a strange site it was...
Him up there on his own, with 4 Arsenal defenders all around him falling over themselves... Fair play to him for his physical tenacity... Couldn't see Allen doing that!
Defensively we're absolutely poor, there is no hiding from it. We just look so organised. I'm sick and tired of seeing our midfield walked through. Every time Arsenal attacked I felt uncomfortable, Questions really need to be asked about defending set pieces too because we're a shambles at defending them .
We weren't a shambles defensively but could have conceded more because Arsenal played with great tempo in the second half and we probably got tired a bit. The key when we're winning 2-0 away from home is to keep our composure and pass it but we weren't able to do it very well. Think that was the issue as we had to defend deeper and deeper.
Made up with the point but letting a 2-0 lead go by comical defending is stomach turning. Time and time again when pressed we collaspe at the back and allow them to come onto us.
It's lookikng like skrtle is finished here IMO so i hope he brings a big central defender in who can command the defence.
