This will get me dog's abuse in here but as woeful as we started, we've been the better side the last 20 mInutes, and quite unlucky.

 

 

They’re 2-0 up, their work is done if they just manage the game which in open play they pretty much have.

[Clarkey123]

Luke’s got to come off

[Guest Mee-9]

Highlight of that half has definitely been that advert for Brighton vs Newcastle.

 

Here comes the money, thought we were announcing Shane McMahon as a half time sub. Drop that coast to coast on their back 4.

[foxfanazer]

Terrible half. Give away the initiative and then start to make a token effort to play some kind of football. Too many passengers in that side

Thing is with Thomas, he got bombed out for Bertrand at the start of the season, seeing that shower of shit being picked ahead of you must shatter your confidence

Think that's because Bertrand not good enough to play as a wing back. Think unless we have Ricardo and JJ fit we should play with 4 at the back

[Clever Fox]

All to do in the second half, Still we've done it before. But we have to improve our intensity.

We need Wilf on second half.

[StanSP]

First 25 mins was utterly shite. No other words for it. 

Once we'd settled and calmed down, we got back in to it and got our passing together. Gonna be difficult to break down their lines of defence as they sit back and defend the lead, and then look to get us on the counter. 

 

Need some changes. Amartey not good at all today. Thomas not good enough up against Saka. 

 

I'd change to a back 4. 

Bertrand on for Thomas. Barnes or Daka on for Amartey and get another player forward for them to think about. 

 

Need to get attacking and start on the front foot. Can't be laboured and need to work harder on and off the ball. Definitely miss Pereira and his runs on the right. Castagne isn't the same this side. 

[sishades]

Our starts to games echoes those under Puel. Very slow and laboured. This game is lost. It does not help matters when our own player passes directly to the Arsenal scumbag in our own penalty area. Shite.

Why do we always make Arsenal look like 2011 Barca?

[martyn]

That first 20 minutes was unforgivable.

 

Arsenal havent had to do anything special to be 2-0 up.

 

Low intensity, no pressing and susceptible from set pieces again. Not helped by individuals having nightmares as well (Thomas, Amartey, Soumaré).

 

That last 25 minutes proved Arsenal are nothing special, we upped it a bit and started dominating, but the damage has already been done because we were half asleep when the game started.

could that be because they are 2-0 up away and took the foot off the gas after a swarming high press start for 25mins

[Ian Nacho]

Why can’t we defend from corners again all of a sudden. 

[EnderbyFox]

I like Luke Thomas but we may as well play Barnes at LWB because they both offer the same defensively (nothing) 

[Kinowe Soorie]

Arsenal didn’t have a great start to the season, but have been doing ok more recently. And people seem to forget they have a much larger budget for transfers, than ourselves.

Get a goal back early, we’re still in this. I’d make changes at halftime though.

[An Sionnach]

Seventeen goals conceded  already this season says it all.

[Guest Mickyblueeyes]

You try not to be overly critical. However, it’s the same conversation every week. Why do we start so slow. Why are we so prone to individual errors. Why can’t we take nor defend any half decent set piece. It’s just poor. From the management to the players. Same mistakes which are now so common, they’re habits.

Conceding two in 20 minutes and not getting near the ball, absolute awful to start like that at home. Puts us out the game from the off pretty much

Yes we have, but we should be thankful Arsenal have decided to sit on their 2-0 lead and not go for the proper tonking that was on the cards

Seeing some comments about Arsenal dropping a gear. While that's true, think about what your comments would be if we remained slow and lethargic with them sitting back. 

 

We have improved and its just a shame its taken conceding 2 goals for it to happen. 

 

Can't have it both ways.

That’s shocking 

[Devonfox1884]

Get the wingers on and go to a back 4.

Harvey and Wilf on for Cags and Soumare please.

I want so badly to see it with Soumare, but so far I really don't.  He rarely seems to have much of an impact on the game. Not a defensive wall like Wilf, not that great with the ball, pretty negative with his passing.  Just a guy, really.  He's shown flashes and he certainly had success in France, so maybe it will come.

[Bozman]

We really ought to give Ward a go in goal,  Schmeichel never comes off his line.

 

[Jattdogg]

Cant win them all. Hopefully we can bang in 3 goals in the second half though.

 

Daka x2, nacho x1.

[Guest StevieLynex]

Ndidi on for Soumare. Barnes for Thomas. Castagne to left back and Dan to right back
