Sad thing is that I liked a lot of what they did today. One of the few games where they were able to clearly win possession, lots of passes connecting. But they consistently fail to hold leads.
Exactly. Vintage Arsenal.
Personally I don´t care that much about possession. Having the ball is nice, but far more important what you do with it when you got it. We weren´t horrible, but how many good chances did we create? Not that Wolverhampton created more, but at home against a team that played on Thursday I expect more.
Also quite disappointed with Mourinho. Alli weren´t up for it - spending more time moaning at teammates rather than chasing the ball. And rather ridiculous how he just keeps on falling over. Bergwijn is good for 50-60 mins, but clearly not fit to play 90. Then again with the way we were set up Mourinho could hardly start to replace his attacking players after Wolverhampton´s 3. goal.
I don´t think it is a disaster not ending up top 4. I think this team needs to get the new players in N´Dombele, Lo Celso, Bergwijn, Fernandes, Tanganga etc. fully integrated more than replacing that many more, but rather sad not making it still considering how average teams like Chelsea and Man Utd are. Now I just hope we don´t have to play EL next year - and that we can surprise in the FA cup.
