And there is still this feeling, this belief about Arsenal, and I'll say it again, and set pieces, and that could be their savior.

Because let's be honest.

As good as the defense is, as they have, you look at their attack, and it has been underwhelming, is about as good a word as I can use here.

But Kai Osaka hasn't shown anything like the player we know he can be.

We've spoken about Yoko Reis, with Trossard yesterday, but it could be anybody else.

And it's a front three or front four, however you want to look at it, if you include Odegaard in there.

That just...

have not created enough.

And while they dominated the early exchanges, Lemmens had two, maybe three saves to make, one of significance.

It's just not an attack that fills you with a whole lot of confidence.

Defensively, that will be the difference maker for Arsenal in winning this title.

And I've said this time and time again, it's far easier to choose than it is to lead.

The issue with leading, as Arsenal are finding out right now, and the boys have all said, is that there's a pressure to not make mistakes.

The pressure, you feel you're good enough to get the better of the opponent, but you don't want to make mistakes.

And as a result, you kind of play within yourself.

When you're chasing, you want to make things happen.

So you take risks looking for a different result that you won't take when you're leading.

And that's what you're seeing from Arsenal now.

And they know we're great at set pieces.

Nine times out of ten, that would bail us out of jail.
