OK, here goes

we've been thumped three times this season, including the last twice. Off the back of two games in which we conceded nine goals we were coming up against another big club, always in the top four and Champions League regulars and current group leaders.

You know that if you try to out-football Arsenal, with confidence low, you're going to get murdered. So you set up your team to be hard to beat, you press high up the pitch to stop them playing as much as possible, you nullify their threats and try to play when you get the ball.

We executed this game plan *perfectly* today and put in a fantastic defensive performance, capped off by some outstanding counter-attacking that on another day would have seen us score a couple more.

I'm afraid your post is pretty astonishing and, in my opinion, ludicrously wrong and unfair.
