Arsenal had more ball but created less with it! Possession means nothing. It's how effective you are with it
 
And you forgot to mention the referee….

I'm trying not too
I'm letting others chose to say whether I was right or wrong and that they are all as corrupt as each other
You do know that the refs / pgmol are funded by the football teams and it has been proven that certain football teams have more influence in what happens within the game

Remember Fergie time ?
Let's play on until they score
Yesterday 5mins added time
1 substitute and we went on until 7mins 24 seconds until the whistle blew once Newcastle gained possession

I did wonder where all the extra time came from.

And then there were the fouls. They fouled us all afternoon. No yellows. Then Tonali does one mistimed tackle and straight yellow.

None of the talkings their players got.
 
We sat deep, it was as I say a Rafa performance.

Defending resolutely and comfortably isn't necessarily a Rafa performance, just often a wise course of action to take when defending a lead and not leaving ourselves exposes. And, save the Rice chance, we did that very well.

I did love our defence under Rafa of Schar, Fernandez, Lejeurne, with Clark and Laecelles as back up, best defence we've had in decades, and actually felt good for once to know we could defend leads and see games out. Our defence isn't as good as the Rafa days atm with Botman out, but it's still good to see us defending leads sometimes and shutting teams out.

Just wait until we get a fully fit Botman back.

Add a replacement for Schar, Burn and Pope long term. We'll have a ridiculous defence. Tino and Hall will be future England full backs.
