After a run of games that were less than impressive, a few niggling injuries here and there, and bam! Arsenal drop the first league game of the season to strugglers Middlesborough, 2-1. I was watching this on ESPN Gamecast this morning and two things really stood out for me. One. Boro had a sizable advantage in posession. Arsenal always enjoys more posession than their opponents. Telling stat. And two, the Gunners had no shots through most of the 2nd half, while Boro had a mess of them.
Ok, lads. We're still one point clear at the top. We've had our dropsy. Now it's time to wake up, regain our form and kick some ass.
