Stoke just wanted it more due to history etc. When we're not 100% at the races, we lose concentration and play ponderous football.
No need for everyone to get heated.

Tbh, I despise people like you who only pop up, when things are bad.

Arsène Wenger admits Arsenal did not show enough fighting spirit during their 3-1 defeat to Stoke.
The Gunners arrived at the Britannia Stadium on Sunday knowing that three points would edge them closer to automatic qualification for next season's UEFA Champions League group stage, and keep their faint title hopes alive.
They never looked like delivering on either front, though, as the Potters gave a demonstration in how to expose Arsenal's weaknesses.
Wenger's men saw plenty of the ball, but they lacked a cutting edge and were undone by Stoke's desire to compete for everything and snatch a morale-boosting success.
Asked if his side had been competitive enough, Wenger told Sky Sports: "No, certainly not. On that front, we were not at the right level, certainly not in the first half.
Mistakes
"It is always difficult to say why, but it is a fact.
"You are never happy when you are not competitive enough."
The French tactician was happy to acknowledge that the Gunners were second best on the day, with defensive fragility once again costing them dear.
Wenger added: "Congratulations to them. We made too many mistakes to win a game like that. They defended well and it was always difficult for us."

We were in comfortable and barely threatened by Stoke before they scored. Trouble is, they didn't need to play well to do so whereas we needed passing of surgical precision. We've conceded the least number of goals from open play and scored the highest number of goals from open play this season. Conversely we've scored the least number of goals from set pieces and conceded the most.
Those picking on individuals need to take a step back and see the obvious. We need to re-balance our team dynamic by tweaking one or two positions to give us better aerial prowess. Beyond that, we have a pretty damn good team. The strengths and weaknesses of our game are a little too easily projected to opponents like Stoke who happen to be very good at what we are very bad at. Let's not distort reality to suit our agenda against a few players who we don't like, even if we know they aren't perfect every week.

It's worse than this thread?
I guess this must just be like Lobby lite then.
I can understand people getting wound up after that performance today but angry ranting should be left to those who know to direct it where it's warranted.
