I agree to a point, I just think at times we had chances to get forward but gave it away too easy under no pressure. That's not because we were playing a Prem club, it was just sloppy. I'm not saying we were bad, just that we could have done so much better if we'd have concentrated more.
Of course nerves and big match pressure could have contributed. For people like White / Thompson and Lees it was a massive game. On the subject of Beccio, if I were a team mate I'd be seriously pissed off with how he plays, the number of times he did a brilliant job of pulling the ball out of the air with chest or feet, held it up whilst midfields made runs, then simply lost the ball to an Arsenal player, that would be so frustrating as a fellow striker or midfielder.

"Going for it" would mean risking not only 3-2 or 4-2, but easily 4-0 or 6-0. With the confidence fragile after our recent results, it was in fact very important staying in the game. Whatever tactic, we would always have to be lucky to win a top premiership team. He tried to keep a bit of flair in the team (Nunez) to attract lady luck, but it didn't work out this year. With confidence high - yes he should have gone for it, making a big loss a minor dent in the confidence, but yesterdays tactics were right in this moment of time. I thought White was fantastic last night. Townsend exciting, and the other players did a decent job. Except our strikers - Luciano and Nunez. Nunez was at no time any kind of attacing threat, but he did a better job defensively than I thought he was able to do. Please Grayson - keep Luciano off the pitch. In Forsell we have a much better player or alternatively use the transfer window!
