That was absolutely unacceptable. The biggest game of the season for Arsenal and to perform as though you’re the side with nothing to play for borders on unforgivable.
Mikel Arteta said that he couldn’t defend his players. Granit Xhaka said that the Arsenal players didn’t listen to what the game plan was. Why? It is a simple question but one I doubt we will get an answer to.
I began the season thinking a top-four challenge was a wild fairy-tale considering the squad at our disposal and the challenge posed by other sides in the league. So you might think that finishing in fifth having had the chance to finish in the top four just two wins away as a good season.
