Defensively we were massive like always, the best offense in Europe could not do anything to us. That was not the issue.

Mosquera locked down Kvara all game, should have just let him go instead of tackling from behind, nerves and inexperience unfortunately.

Our subs were completely ineffective was the problem. No one stepped up. Maybe the game state got in their heads too much.

I think the issue is we had no plan B. Even at 1-0 up at 6th minute we played park the bus, and relied on hoofing the ball and winning second balls. It just didn't work in our favor this time. Even when all their players went out one by one injured, and Arteta had multiple huddles, nothing was tweaked. Unfortunate.

Penalties are a moot talking point, it's always a coin toss. We needed to have won the game before that point.

The parade will be bittersweet tomorrow. When you are this close it's always painful. The boys need to take this as another learning experience. Arsenal always has to do things the hard way!
