i think its down to mental preparedness and mental toughness. when you are clearly the better team, you must come out and assert yourself immediately. every second you dont, the lesser team's belief grows. we seem to be slow starters which perpetuates this scenario.
Did Eboue have a heavy lunch? He seems slow today. On the whole, its feels that the self-doubt is creeping in our side. Come on you Gunners Lets get a goal!!
That entire half was summed up in the last few seconds with Jack Wilshere just standing there with his hands on his hips while Cesc was no more then 10 ft away with the ball at his feet.
Keep the faith lads. They are playing with 9 behind the ball. How long can they hold up? They will tire without an outlet. As long our defense can pick up the long balls and deep runs, we are gonna win this.
