I’m currently working on a piece analysing each and every goal that Arsenal have conceded this season in a bid to identify any trends about our defensive problems. It’s quite an exhaustive task and as you can imagine, it’s taking some time. While I’m working on that I thought I’d throw a question out to [...]

The home side caused trouble for us throughout the match with their game plan to attack aerially via long balls but our boys stood up well, scoring two goals either side of Mame Biram Diouf’s equaliser to [...]
