On the whole bravery thing, yes it's annoying how we started the game and lined up originally I think aside from the dropped points. However the thing I'm most getting annoyed about the whole narrative that we are boring, defensive etc (which at times we can be under Arteta) is that it was City who were clinging for dear life in the second half and playing with 7 defenders and 10 men behind the ball against 11 men yet not a word was said about their negative approach or dark arts. Remember how the reporting on us was done last year when we did the same thing only with 10 men?
All the reporting I've read somehow ignores City haramball Mk 2 Ultra and instead seems to still focus on us not going into the game with the right structure to win the game (which is true by the way). But I guess we should be used to the constant media scrutiny regardless of what we do, the media will always have a way of downplaying what we do right, and over exaggerating the things we do wrong more than with any other club in the PL.
