I find myself feeling totally gutted and at the same time emboldened by the season. Arsenal’s defeat to Brighton represents everything that has befallen the club in the final part of the season.
It is often tricky to not sound like a sore loser when highlighting injuries or officiating decisions when talking about a title race that can be won by our rivals Manchester City with just one win from their last three games but it’s the truth… and I am a sore loser. For me, there are two (or three depending on how you view it) key reasons why Arsenal are, beyond a miracle, not going to win the title and both lay somewhat out of the Gunners’ control.
The first is the injuries to both William Saliba and Tomiyasu. Talk about misfortune, the two players that provide the greatest support to the defence’s right-hand side, outside of Ben White, both out in the very same game.
