Well, frick.

Swansea did what they had to, playing for the draw, while we spent the whole time in and around the penalty area over-thinking and over-passing.

Theo is not a center-forward and cannot do much with the ball and his back to the goal.

With what he will cost, I don't see Theo back next season. I'm grateful for all he has done, but it may be time for him to move on.

That sub didn't make much sense to me especially after Rangel went off hurt and Richards looked lost. Crosses could come from that side with ease but nobody there to finish without Giroud

Yeah, Arsene's tactics were bad there. What we were going for, doing tiki taka or sending cross after cross into the box obviously wasn't working and he failed to adapt. Same old story. Arsenal can't break down teams that pack the box and then gets popped on a counter and loses a game they should have put away in the first half.
