You love to exaggerate things for affect don't you.
The net result was anything but a shambles. They had 70% of the ball and we had the better clear cut chances, that's the long and short of it.
They struggled to play through us, that's just a fact. Stop debating the minutia and accept the fact that sometimes sitting a bit deeper, be it by design or not, can frustrate Arsenal and quick counter attacks can expose them.
We can go round and circles all day on this as to whether it was by design or not but answer me one question - did we have better clear cut openings in this game or last season's corresponding fixture? A simple answer, which game?
Why do you keep avoiding the point. It isn't about what our game plan was, it was how we implemented it. We had two clear cut chances. 3 shots on target. How the hell are you building a case about 90 minutes of football based on two events that lasted about 10 seconds ?
That's reductionism even by BG's "he has the most chances is the better team" standard. The pair of you might as well not bother watching whole games, you might as well just watch MOTD and decide who was the better team. It seems that nothing that happens in between either six yard box matters to you two.
