@MIB_solace@_Abimberry It doesn’t matter if PSG’s goal came from a penalty, the bottom line is the defence style didn’t work. We could have gotten another goal if we didn’t sit deep. We saw Spain two days ago.
Watch Spain at 1-0 last night. That’s courage. That’s bravery. And then watch England at 1-0. What’s the difference?
We are a better team than Argentina, I’ve no doubt in my mind. But we deserved to get beat in the end. In fact, it could have been 4-1.
Bringing on 3 defenders at 1-0 up. What message does that send? I wrote it in my Daily Mail column after the Mexico game. Until we understand that courage and bravery is controlling possession under pressure and not booting / heading it up the field 40 yards then this will always be the end result.
@Nsukka_okpa The defence style doesn’t always work, 9 out of 10 times it doesn’t work.
I am saying this as an Arsenal fan, I’ve watched Arteta do it and it doesn’t always work, if Spain had done that yesterday, they would have lost as well.
Football is simple, coaches and players just make it harder for themselves.
If you sit deep and allow opponent to come at you, it will hurt you 9 out of 10 times.
