Yet another ghastly defensive error costs Arsenal

Another defensive mistake costs us dearly. by Konstantin Mitov

I am devastated, but it’s a harsh reality. We had a red card in our favour since minute 10, we took the lead and then we made a number of comical defensive mistakes that cost us.

This is the highlight of our season. Individual mistakes have cost us goals since day one and Wenger hasn’t learned his mistakes, which is costing him his job. He keeps faith in players who constantly make mistakes.

The problem is, we haven’t learned from our mistakes for years now. We take them as one offs and nobody is held accountable for things. The new manager will have to address this major issue.

Our captain has Greizmann on his back and he kicks the ball in his own face, then the keeper let’s it through his legs and our second defender, who by the way is a world cup winner slips and we conceded.

And I have to reiterate that this has happened so many times this season! I am so gutted because the athmosphere was great for a change and everything aligned with for us but we bottled it.

Do you think that without Champions League football we’ll be able to address the major holes in defense? Another question here is why didn’t we buy a CB when this has been happening since the start of the season?

I am really fearing that we’ll hire a manager like Arteta and things will hardly improve. We need a major character who will reshape this squad. There are no excuses for not winning being a man up for almost the entire game.

Those players as I said before now need a real hard look at themselves. We’ve got United away which is a 99% defeat with Mourinho there and then we go away needing to score against a team who’s defense is monstrous and ours is leaking more than the roof of abandoned woodshed.

We have a mountain to climb and once again we’ve essentially shot ourselves in the foot. Arsene has to summon the most incredible of European away performances, but I can’t see it. I feel it will be the saddest of endings to his reign, but this is all season. It’s incredible we haven’t addressed it. The new manager cannot come soon enough.
