To be honest I thought we would lose I have no confidence in us when we play these big games away from home it's always the same old story.Technically we didn't defend it badly we defended it right by playing their player offside but the linesman wasn't up to it and didn't give it.
I take your point but you can't say it was down to one thing if that thing isn't right, had the linesman done his job we wouldn't have had a situation to deal with.
I accept that we weren't on our game and Arsenal were up for it but that doesn't mean they deserved to win or would have won, it's games like that when a refereeing decision can tip the balance and I honestly believe that happened yesterday, he didn't miss something he saw something that wasn't there.
Having said that I had been worried all week about this game, just couldn't feel confident.
