"Heroic Failure" - Jeff Stelling
It was a valiant effort from an enthusiastic arsenal side, but once again the depth of squad let them down. Once Oxlade and Walcott had to go off through injury there was no one on the bench who could come on and maintain the attacking pressure.
The first half performance was memorable but to me it looked like Arsenal came out for the second half almost hungover from their efforts in the first 45 minutes. There are alot of positives to be taken from the game. Like the way they attacked the game from the off and beating 'THE' AC Milan 3-0 is impressive.
And yes it was a good performance. A performance that might inspire them to a end-of-season flourish and a performance that will satisfy the fans. but i feel the depth of squad let Arsene down tonight and i feel that is what could let them down domestically too.
The remainder of the season will almost certainly throw up some more twists and turns, but fundamentally if the squad is not good enough > silverware will always evade the Emirates.
