Yeah, not as good as it should have been. Ipswich is an underrated team. But we should have done better. One of those near misses goes in and we're looking good. But like you say, a win is a win. And grinding out 3 points in games like this is important, especially when we have several key players either injured or not firing on all cylinders.
There was a point where the players were trying to find a forward pass and I watched Arteta tell them to pass backwards. People think a new striker will change things, but the manager isn't going to let things change. For him defensive stability is paramount.
