Here's an idea: Wenger tells the team to start playing at the opening whistle. I don't know why the Gunners seem to be at 3/4 speed early in games. The game was lost in the first quarter hour to a bunch of guys who simply worked harder and paid attention for 90 minutes, not 45. This game shows why Arsenal is a long shot to win anything every year.
It's also why Alexis is not keen on staying at Arsenal. It burns him to see teammates coasting when there is a game to be won and goals to be scored. No one was backing Watford to get anything out of this game except for Watford. They lost to Millwall over the weekend because Millwall came to play. They won today because half of our team figured showing up was enough.
...and that's enough about this mess. Thanks to draws in LIV-CHE and SUN-TOT, we lost a point against the leaders and the teams closest to us. But we should have gained two, because damn it, the men on the field in red and white had more talent than the men in yellow. But some thought and effort was required too, and apparently that was too much to ask.
