    A win is a win.

    Older Arsenal teams would have crumbled and lost 2 or 3 to 1 in games like these, and I don’t care how ugly these games get. I know it’s not the funnest to watch but so be it.

      As arteta said, you aren’t going to go away to Brentford and have a fun game. We played the game we were faced with and largely controlled it well.

        We did really well controlling the game.

        The problem with being pragmatic is that it’s often viewed as safe or boring and while that may be true to a degree the results it provides are hard to argue against.

        There is so much negative talk around how we are playing, and yet we are top of the league. Substance over style is what’s going to win is the league.

    Didn’t catch the game, but heard from a friend that Ramsdale’s confidence “is gone”

    How was he?

      He had a couple shakey moments that almost led to a goal. Rice coming in with amazing awareness to save us. But he did okay, especially in the second half.

      I hope he manages to get back in the team but it’s hard to imagine a scenario where he stays. He is almost certainly leaving.
