The fact Chelsea didn't get a second wasn't down to resolute defending by Arsenal but more that Chelsea didn't capitalise.
I don't know if it's an absence of the likes of Viera, Gallas (and Pires, I don't remember him that aggressive before?) but there does seem to be a very soft underbelly running through your team, even worse than we did.
