If we have ambitions to do anything we need to compete with City/Chelsea/Utd all season and I don’t have confidence that Arteta and Ramsey anchoring the midfield is good enough to do that.
Which actual top teams did we play apart from Spurs who beat us? Bayern was a great away performance but they were playing like a team with a 3-0 lead.
We lost a few games because of the averageness in the squad and defensive errors but we were not that bad.
City Away - blunt attack (Vinho one on one) better side.
United away - blunt attack and Vermaelen mistake
Chelsea Home - Oscar put the clamps on our passing game and we had two errors that led to goals.
Tottenham Home - won but with Ade assist, played with the handbrake up
City Home - Koscielny red
Chelsea Away - poor first half, great second half.
United Home - Great performance until Sagna lost his head. Quick ball movement and aggressive play.
Tottenham away - Ver-fukking-maelen..
The team was hard to read mentally early on too ie Start games poorly then turn it on the 2nd. Seemed the Bayern result made them overcome it.
