That's it.
I managed to watch Arsenal Vs AC Milan the other day and the difference between us is/was night and day. They have bags of pace in their attack. They were running at Milan and looked likely to score at every opportunity.
We on the other hand, pass, pass and more useless slow passing allowing all teams to get lots of players back into defensive positions and then we have no way through to goal. The speed of transition from defense to attack from City is way way way too slow. I know everyone loves Barcelona for their passing but they do it at speed, it doesn't work as effectively when you are painfully slow. Unless you are Barca, you gotta mix it up and be more direct at times.
Just my take.
I totally agree with you. but in addition i think we also miss the Spirit of the Heroes, it is the same spirit that helped the rags to comeback from a 3 nil to draw against Chelsea at stamford bridge .
and the same spirit that helped the rags to score the winning goal at the extra time against Norwich
If we have that Spirit, believe me we will win the PL, and we still have the chance to prove that we posses that spirit.
