We really should update the post match reports on here, never mind actually get some blogs going.
I digress. Arsenal have only gone and lost for a second time this week, to a team beaten 6-0 earlier in the Champions League campaign. What's more to boot, Cesc is injured. Hamstring injury apparently, which is always a minimum of two weeks out usually, maybe more depending on the severity of said injury.
Now luckily it would take a monumentally bad set of results to put Arsenal out of the Champions League, basically because of the head to head record with Braga, but it can happen, which at start of play today was near unthinkable.
Admittedly it wasn't quite a full team, it was a half team, but the players selected and out there should do better against this opposition.
Conceding two late goals make this all the more galling as well. It happens to often (see Saturday defeat v Tottenham) and highlights a worrying lack of concentration.
I will admit a didn't see all of this game, thanks to a lack of Sky Sports, and a silly presumption this would be a win, and I'd pick up the highlights, but I did follow via Twitter and the BBC what occurred and its a more horrifying way to discover you have lost. None of the lead up and just a bam! there it is sensation.
It isn't a crisis by any stretch, not yet anyway, but two defeats in a week when so much more was expected is not a good prospect.
