The moment we lost the OX and Theo resulting from strange muscular injuries, if you are not one of those given to blind optimism that we can sweep anyone aside simply because we are Arsenal, the alarm bells should have sounded then. We were simply blunted from an attacking point of view especially considering we had no one on the bench capable of coming in and providing any attacking verve. Noteworthy that our only chance in any high light reel you watch on tv came from the head of Mertasaker.
Look The Capital one cup was a trophy i wanted for some reason i cant say. Perhaps the thought of celebrating a trophy mid-season seemed attractive to me to help strengthen team belief but that's gone now..
I believe we must not use this game as anything other than a lesson on how teams as good as us can have just another Bad day in the office like any team. oh and No it hasn't made Gibbs , Chambers or Debuchy shit but it does go some way to show that our backups need to mentally challenge themselves to be ready to step in and do a job when called upon..The goals we conceded were rather cheap..but ill just leave it at that. Focus must shift to regaining 3 points vs Swansea as defeat there would be the real trouble starter..doubts and all might creep in and from there its always a continuous down-ward spiral hard to dig oneself out of.
So fingers crossed the chaps that fluffed their lines last night would have been given thier detentions and told to get their notepads ready to watch how the first-teamers take care of business..While we wait for good news on Walcott and OX
