I agree with him, I don't think we deserved to lose either.
The high level stats suggest otherwise
Shots on target : 14 v 3
Corners : 12 v 3
Possession was ok we had 48%

Stats...lies, damn lies and statistics.  To say we didn't deserve to lose you must take into account more than figures.  Arsenal were the home team and were set up to pressure us in our half, we were set up to resist this pressure and to try and hit them on the break.  Hence the stats will tell you that Aresenal dominated the attacking game.  The evidence of our eyes tells us that we played well, within the confines of our gameplan, and were 5 minutes away from earning a deserved draw.

Which ever way you look at it, the bottom line is that we lost when we had a very good chance of getting something from the game... yet again!
