My feelings when leaving the ground two years age was of Joy, yesterday it was of very concerned for our future length of time in the PL. This was even worse than a lot of very mediocre performances this season, and only very few good performances.
Arsenal played well, worked hard and not tippy tappy slow play they usually play. Stoke helped by being a yard off the pace and using the ball as a hot potato. The 10 minute spell we put in effort the crowd got behind them and the old Stoke returned for a blink of the eye.
Too many of our players were playing for team me, even more so than they have for most of the season.
Hughes has a big job as since Jan 2016 we have and are going further backwards each month. We are one point of our lowest ever PL total. Thanks to loanees Grant (now permanent) and BMI for keeping us above the trap door.
So can Hughes find a way of playing which the players fit and buy into i really hope so but its a wait and see. Thankfully the season is over at home and we survived for another year, i hope it is a blip but reality is 16 months is no blip.
