So here I begin my reasoning as to why I blame Ramsdale for the loss.

Normally I dont like to point fingers too much when Arsenal lose or draw a game, but too many times this season I have sat there and watched Ramsdale idiotically stand outside of his box further up the pitch, thinking he is invincible and wont ever be beaten.

Just as I slate him for his positioning I also slate the team when they try to play out from the back! It doesnt need to happen and it should stop!

And Ive always said to myself; one of these days he is going to get caught out when he constantly positions himself as an outfield player.

And low and behold in a knockout game, that we wont ever truly know if Arteta and the boys were fussed about winning or not, he gets caught out.

Now take nothing away from the goal because it was a beauty I must admit but Ramsdale cannot be standing that far up the pitch and has to take part blame for the goal conceded!

Arteta changed Matt Turner and put in Ramsdale in the hope we didnt concede after Turners shaky game last week, and what does Ramsdale do? Concede a goal that Sporting should never have been allowed to score!

Against your Citys and your Liverpools with the strike force they have, had they been there last night we would have been battered with Ramsdales play! Yes he made a few good saves, but he still let one in that was never meant to be conceded! And dont get me started on his lack of penalty saves despite coming close, but close is not good enough!

The team as a whole were not great, being sloppy in possession and just not clicking for some reason at times, but having taken the lead through Granit Xhakas goal you sensed it was a game we could have seen out as 1-0 winners, yet Ramsdales stupidity put us in a position we could have done without being in!

And I do not blame Gabriel Martinelli one bit for his penalty loss because had we kept that initial clean sheet we would not have gone as far as penalties, but if you look at it deeply and Im sure many Arsenal fans would agree, if you couldnt have both, and if you were to choose between winning the Europa League or the Premier League, I know which one I would choose.

Its just a shame we had to play nearly two hours and then get knocked out, rather than losing in normal time! Especially after we then have to play another game in less than 72 hours.

But we have managed to play Thursday, Sunday before and the boys know what they need to do, win one more game before the international break, have a break, and come back even more fired up ready to do the business in the remaining games of our season!!

But last nights loss is not the end of the world and I guess its good we play in a few days as I believe we can pick ourselves up as quickly as possible!

Heres hoping hey Gooners!
