They improved after Southampton scored the opener. Again it was a case of Arsenal failing to counter quickly.

Giroud coming on in the second half should aid in our possession, with his holdup play. The big problem with Walcott alone up top is his stature. Dropping deep and not giving him a line to break from forced Arsenal to dump a bunch of crosses into the box, negating Theo's skills.

Why when we work it wide would we never send him a ball behind the backline on a diagonal run? We seem too tentative on attack, just working it around side to side. I know that Southampton are structured in the back with bodies behind the ball, but you can't say they are hunkered down. Southampton are sending numbers forward, it's crazy that Arsenal hasn't countered at all.
