# Trousers curiosity klaxon #
When did 'Whataboutery' become a bad thing? I remember the good ol' days where comparing one thing against another was a valid analytical tool. I guess the advent of social media, and the self-appointed intelligentsia therein, probably had a part to play in it becoming de rigeur?
Since when did Arsenal turn into an intense high pressing team? Was that just to counteract us this evening or is that how they're going to play for the rest of the season..?
Bit of a 'perfect storm' this game...
- Arsenal playing at the top of their game with an intensive press that I doubt they've played all season
- us missing key players (today's game highlights how important the full backs are to our system)
- us having a bad day at the office overall (bit of fatigue from Saturday?)
Hopefully more of a dip than a sign of things to come...

Arsenal playing towards the top of their game in this match and yet we weren't a million miles away from going in all square at half time. Pretty sure we had a similar number of chances, just missing the clinicality that Arsenal have shown. If we can play the second half like we played in the middle part of the first half then we ought to get something out of the game.
