You all are probably right. I will now concede that the non pressing was more intent than design. I saw all the space and time that the Arse players had and was shouting to players close down. But on reflection that would not have been too wise as it is now obvious that the tactics was to play deep then break.That was obviously part of the tactics today. We defended deep and counter attacked.
Lloris made some spectacular saves! My MOTM, closely followed by Kaboul. I think everyone played well apart from adebayor... He was horrendous today!
Who was the Sky MOTM?
