Today is all about patience. And that goes for the players, manager and fans.
In the defeat against Bournemouth everything was a little frantic. Players trying to get the ball forward too quick, Mikel Arteta bouncing up and down from the 1st minute, and plenty of grumbles and frustration from the fans at 0-0.
Hopefully everyone has learned from that. Especially the fans. We have such a huge part to play tonight.
If it is still 0-0 after 6 minutes we need to control ourselves. No shouting “get on with it”, no grumbles of discontent because a pass does sideways or backwards. We just need to be supportive.
In less than 40 hours we could be champions. But we only give ourselves that chance if we all promote positivity. If the fans, players and manager are frantic like hat Bournemouth game, we could derail ourselves.
So get to the ground early. Be in your best singing voice. And back the boys for 90 minutes.
