Well. Just how often is this guy Rodri going to save our arses?
To be fair, though, I'm overstating it. When it was 1-1, I looked at the table. I thought, “Ok, this is our Nottingham Forest game. I accept it. We're in the leading pack, level on points with everyone, level on goal difference. I'll take it.”
We would still have been well set up for the coming weeks.
But then, put yourself in the mind of an Arsenal supporter. An Arsenal player. Put yourself in the mind ofArteta. Their dropping of two points yesterday would have looked very, very different, in the light of this, a game we were expected to win.
They must have hoped. For about two minutes. It just must be soul destroying for the chasing pack.
I know he scored. But I'm a bit worried about Erling. It's not as if he's missing absolute sitters, most of the time. But last year, he was scoring from any half-chance, sometimes from a quarter-chance. That's not happening. Let's hope it clicks.
