We've complained all season that they've found it hard to break teams down and they couldn't break Chelsea down in the first half.

But again, at the end of the day, if you're ahead in the tie and you're the one pushing the game and you just can't break through, you're going through, you're winning when the final whistle goes.

So to me, particularly the second half was on Chelsea.

If you want to keep it tight like they did,

And then you want to bring on your Palmers and Estavals.

But you've got to bring them on at half time.

You've got to do part of the job in the first half.

And in the second half, you've got to give yourself time to win the game.

You know, there's no point in bringing the cavalry on with 15, 20 minutes to go.

and then run out of time.

That doesn't make any sense.

So, listen, if I'm Arsenal, I couldn't care less that I didn't play any great type of football to watch.

But we won the game, and if you're Chelsea, it's a semi-final, you've missed out on playing at Wembley in a cup final, possibly because the manager was a little too scared to begin with and didn't give you enough time to actually win the game in the second half.

No, not at all.

He's been given six months.

Basically, Mikel Arteta has said, right,

You've got six months to separate yourself from Jesus, Havertz, Moreno, anybody else who thinks they can play through the middle.

I'm going to give you this.

He's had probably, what, 20-odd games?

I was trying to defend him to begin with because the way Arsenal played doesn't exactly help a centre-forward with balls in the box early.
