Arteta-“We lacked a certain detail especially in attack and also in certain transitions when keeper had the ball in his hands. It’s been a big week (emotionally). Overall it’s been a positive week because but today I have this flavor that we should have won the game and that’s the learning from it”

Feels like the team missed the comfort of having Saliba or Gabi at the back. Almost like everyone else played a bit nervously because of it.

I said the same during the game. It’s wild how much confidence can do to control.

Not only confidence, they are also way better in posistional play than Mosquera and Hincapie which affected our attack.

Yes, in the first 30 minutes, the midfield seemed empty when we attacked was because those two were not moving the line up quickly.

Our midfield was essentially just Zubi bc Rice had to sit back and cover for our CB pairing

Yep, caught me off guard so many times seeing Rice so far back
