Great postWe've had a row of 8 games - West Brom, Palace, Chelsea, Stoke, Napoli, Burnley, Wolves, West Brom - where 7 teams have tried the exact same tactic. Park the bus, try to kick the shit out of us and break up the flow of the game.
I think it's impossible to expect us not to get increasingly tired, mentally as much as anything. Turning up every 3 days to try and unlock a defence while getting hacked down is really hard. It's no surprise that results are getting more laboured, we're struggling to maintain that 100% mental focus for 90 minutes and as a result we've given up some silly goals and cocked up 3 or 4 we should have scored.
However, Napoli away and Arsenal will offer very different types of games and I think we'll see the players a bit mentally rejuvenated. After that the international break will give them a chance to recharge.
