David Hytner was at the Emirates on a great night for Arsenal and Cole Palmer. Here’s his report. Thanks for reading this MBM. Nighty night.
Mauricio Pochettino speaks to TNT. “We started the game not so well … it was difficult for us to recover from the goal … the first half we competed after 10, 15 minutes … we said at half-time we could not approach the game in the same way … but we showed too low energy … we did not compete in the way we need to compete … after the third goal it was so easy for them to manage the game … we lose the game in the first 15 minutes of the first half and the first 15 minutes of the second … against Manchester City we created many chances but were not clinical and today the same thing happened … it is a difficult result … it is not nice to see your team play like this from the beginning of the game when you are supposed to have full energy … it is an inconsistency … we are so disappointed with the game and the performance … we are talking too much during this season … we want to be in a different position next season and we need to take decisions … we deserve to go to Europe [if we compete like we did against City] but if we compete in this way, no.”
