  • I watched the whole thing live and it was much edgier than I wanted it to be, as it stuck at 1-0 for a long time and we eschewed several very good opportunities to extend the lead and make it more comfortable.

    Although the stats show a lack of threat and xG from Brentford, they did have periods of possession where Arsenal were a bit quiet and it sounded like the crowd got a bit subdued, also.

    Brentford also had a number of corners and long throws that could have turned into something but thankfully didn’t. You prob won’t see those in highlights but they are the type of thing where one of them could have lead to us cursing our luck.

    I’d be hopeful for the Rice injury, as it didn’t look too bad at all. Mosquera looked more unhappy when he left the pitch.








  • In the context of the game…disappointing. We could have done much better. Caveat is that the Big Willy absence that had impact on the game but that was somewhat balanced by the red card and also that we do have good depth, now. Private Equity FC played the way they kind of had to, effective but fucking annoying.

    On a more macro level, no need to panic. It’s been a very good week, with firepower returning.
