Worrying trend emerges for Arsenal this season
There are plenty of points to criticse Arsenal on from this specific game, and don't worry we'll get to those, but before embarking on the sadistic process of analysing the 2-0 defeat to Newcastle, it's worth taking a look at a troubling pattern that has blighted the season.
From a mentality point of view, the Gunners have surpassed several milestones this year. The individual errors that blighted their game last season have all but gone, while impressive victories against bogey teams like Leicester and Aston Villa have proved that they are capable of grinding out results away from home. However, there still remains one psychological hurdle that they cannot overcome.
