When I found out who Arsenal were to face in our first three games, I had a feeling of dread. I was aware that we may have ended up with no points after them. I was hoping to have one point at home by now and I am also hoping to get three in the derby game against West Ham next weekend, but we could be at the bottom of the table when the first official one is published.
I have not watched any of the highlights, or in my case low lights, of the game against the Team that rhymes with City, but it was painful to watch the game against Chelski. It was great how the team came back from two goals down to get the score back to two all, but our defence for the first two goals was terrible. I was appalled by the way Sokratis left Shkodran Mustafi alone for the second goal and it was our inability to defend which destroyed any potential of the team to build on our impressive home performance last season. All Arsenal fans were hoping that a new manager and new blood would correct the issues with defence that have plagued our team in the last decade. But there still is time.
I am not looking forwards to tomorrow when the manager at work will want to talk about football. A lot...
