But yet again we had four mad minutes and went behind, and simply couldn’t recover without a Sanchez or Ozil to galvanise the side. But Wenger was still amazed why or how we lost. “I feel overall physically it was a tough game for us. We made it most difficult and after that we were 1-0 up. We made two very surprising mistakes that were not even forced errors, it was just a lack of decision-making and overall you come out of the game thinking: how did we lose the game?
“That was it basically, but by being very harsh I would say as well that we have not created enough with the possession we had. We looked a bit lacklustre in the final third, not sharp enough to create chances and that’s why as well when you are 1-0 up normally you should create more to be dangerous and we paid for that. It was a combination of the two which made us pay a heavy price.
“Of course it’s frustrating. It’s very frustrating and very disappointing result for us, especially when you are 1-0 up and we made mistakes in areas where you wonder where they come from.”
Disappointing is not the word for a result like today’s… With Liverpool smashing the ‘invincible’ Man City side, we are now a massive 8 points behind the 2nd, 3rd and 4th placed teams, and with Tottenham’s 4-0 win yesterday the Spuds are now 5 points clear of us in 5th. We have gone 6 games without a win and we have to play Chelsea again on Wednesday! Yes I guess you could call it disappointing at a push, but disastrous is probably a more relevant word….
