Not a mental issue I don't think. More the fact our players aren't quite good enough

To win a game in this league our players all have to play to 100% and our gameplan has to be spot on. Sunderland and Palace the 2 teams we have recently lost to have spent far far more on players, established Prem players.

Sunderland have Defoe upfront who probably earns 100 grand a week. he is a class finisher and a top player at this level. He is far better than anyone we could wish to have upfront.

On top of that Big Sam and Pards are good prem managers who know how to "Win" They are seasoned at this level and know every trick in the book. Lets face it Sunderland came and did a job on us. They also could have beaten Aresnal yesterday.

I can't fault our players efforts but I do think they have looked tired. Hopefully they have recharged their batteries this weekend and they will be in peak condition at the Arsenal next week?
