Unfortunately, the header was just slightly off target.
The Gunners had been constantly pressing Tottenham Hotspur, putting immense pressure on their North London rivals.
When Wenger walked into the locker room, he immediately heard his players complaining. For instance, Walcott was grumbling that Ledley King had shoved him from behind, causing him to miscontrol the ball. Arteta also had a long-range shot in the first half that didn't go well due to interference from a defender.
Then there was Wang Shuo, telling Gibbs that next time he made a pass, he should anticipate the defenders' positioning and jumping height.
"You've seen my vertical leap and hang time. It's totally fine to pass it a little higher," Wang Shuo said with absolute confidence.
This reminded Wenger of a recent news report. Rumor had it that Wang Shuo had even sought advice from Ronaldo on jumping and heading the ball.
