It just felt lazy. They focused on the goals only. Of course you can show pretty much any goal anytime and highlight defencive errors- after all how many goals are caused by good defending?

Of course you can always say “he needs to get closer there” but not many teams could do what arsenal did to us yesterday. Had we got closer they’d probably have just skipped past us as once our central defenders are turned that is pretty much that, it was the case in the championship so it will definitely be the case in the premier league.

We went for it yesterday and really went for them the way none of us were expecting. They didn’t even acknowledge that.
