Leno; It was so easy for Watford on sunday

After Granit Xhaka said the team was scared, and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang bemoaned Arsenal giving goals away, Bernd Leno said that the team’s set up on Sunday made it too easy for Watford.

The Gunner's second-half display was as bad as anything we’ve seen in recent years, and the German admitted that players were ‘crazy’ in the dressing room afterwards.

However, he also seemed to take a little pop at the tactical approach/in-game management following the 2-2 draw at Vicarage Road.

“The distances between all parts of the team were too big so they had so much space, especially in the second half,” he said.

“It was too easy for them and they could go around our box. I don’t know why it was like that but everybody could see that we have to talk about this.

“In the first half, it was better but not perfect. I think we have to be honest and analyze this game.

“We were lucky we didn’t lose.”

The 27-year-old admitted passions ran high afterwards but said Unai Emery remained positive, looking ahead to the next game against Eintracht Frankfurt on Thursday.

“Everybody was angry and disappointed after,” he continued. “Everybody was emotional, very mad and crazy. But that is normal.

“The manager is a very positive guy. He said ‘Calm down and then on Tuesday we analyze this game and then on Thursday we have another game’.”Source [Arseblog.news]
