I think he did very well today. A couple of niggly fouls but I'm convinced Arsenal were targeting him to try and get him booked/sent off. They were pretty bad for diving around but around Tioté it was particularly bad.
Williamson
It wasn't. He picked up Mertersacker at all the set pieces, and when Mertersacker moved away as the free kick was taken, Willo to his credit noticed Giroud unmarked and tried to get to him.
That's how I saw it too.
He's back the crowd rightly went mental when he could have challenged for the ball on the edge of their box and he decided to stand there like a fucking turnip instead.
Easier to criticise him for being overly cautious in hindsight knowing that Arsenal weren't at their best. If our forward players had a better game we would have at least gotten a draw IMO.
We deserved a point.
Arsenal are a very very well organised side so it was always going to be hard to break them down. Remy and Gouffran could have done more and Shola was pap. Can't grumble too much after that though.
