Jorginho insists that Arsenal deserved to win their match against Nottingham Forest after dropping yet more crucial points in the title race.
Forest held the Gunners to a goalless draw in a game that many had expected Mikel Arteta’s side to win comfortably. Arsenal dominated possession and created several opportunities, but they were unable to break down a resilient Forest defence.
Despite Arsenal’s efforts, Forest proved to be a stubborn opponent, defending resolutely and even coming close to causing an upset with a few dangerous counter-attacks. It was a frustrating night for the Gunners, who knew they needed all three points to maintain pressure on the league leaders.
Jorginho, who started the game and put in an good performance in midfield, was disappointed that his experience and control in the middle of the park were not enough to secure victory. Arsenal will undoubtedly feel they should have done better, but the Italian midfielder believes they did enough to earn the win.
Speaking to Arsenal Media, Jorginho shared his frustration:
“Yeah, a frustrating draw because we wanted to win.
“We pushed as much as we could, we had the chances, we didn’t win and that’s the frustrating part. And then you need to also look and be realistic that this is a tough place to come and win. I think only two teams came here and won and we could have been one of them.
“We controlled the game, they didn’t create anything really dangerous, they only had counter-attacks and I think we deserved to win, but unfortunately, it didn’t happen.”
While Arsenal may feel unlucky not to have secured all three points, the reality is that results matter more than performances. In a title race, there is little room for excuses, and failing to convert dominance into victories has cost them dearly.
If Arsenal are to remain in contention for the Premier League title, they must be more clinical and learn from these dropped points. Their next matches will be crucial, and they cannot afford to let further opportunities slip away.
ADMIN COMMENT
So here are some simple rules which I must insist commenters follow….
You agree not to give any personal abuse to other Arsenal fans. Everyone is allowed to hold their own opinions even if you disagree with them. It COSTS NOTHING TO BE POLITE TO OTHER ARSENAL FANS.
It seems that the players are just as deluded as the manager. 🙄🤦♂️🤷♂️
To think that someone who actually played in the game is deluded, simply because he disagrees with you is the height of hypocrisy Derek.
I guess your now gong to advocate the sacking of every player as well as the manager for daring to disagree with you? 🤔😂
Oh Ken1945,
You’ve come out to play have you.
No sacking of the players needed, just a new manager will do.
I was just thinking out loud that as usual the team produce there usual dross of a performance, and then a player comes out and says we deserved to win the game. And I stand by my statement. If we had deserved to win the game we would have scored more than them, it’s that simple.
I read a post yesterday, which had Dan Kit answering one of your posts. He spoke about you in a way that gave me the impression that he knows what your like, I took that to mean that could you be a wind up merchant maybe.
I don’t really know, but that’s the impression I got. Apologies if I’m wide of the mark.
Not a wind up merchant Derek, I’ll leave that to you and DK!!
I tried to reply to him, but comments were no longer available for that article.
I’m only replying to your comment that the players are as deluded as the manager and as you want the manager gone because he’s deluded, doesn’t it follow that you want the deluded players out as well?
Apologies if I’M wide of the mark also 🤔👍
Well there’s no point in getting rid of the players, because by doing that, you’d struggle to get an 11 together for the next game, being that there are a fare few deluded players at our club currently.
Some of them even think that they’re good footballers. The biggest delusion of them all. 😂🤣🤦♂️🤷♂️
Deserved not to lose, yes; but deserved to win, I doubt.
