If we’re honest, that’s been coming for a while....we’ve scraped through recent games whilst playing/managing within ourselves - for reasons I’m sure most of us can ‘kind of‘ accept in this artificial environment.
However, in this instance, not only were we physically beaten, but what I found more troubling was that we were also mentally and verbally beaten and bullied - and by what was essentially Arteta and his reserves....
Just let that settle for a moment - Arsenal’s B team demoralised us - and I think it’ll probably get worse yet as I imagine Sean Dyche will be exactly the kind of manager to have seen what went on and will seek to further exploit on Weds night.....
Like most others, I accept the difficulties of the situation but it really is time now for BR to earn his corn.
