2 games in!! Did we all really think we would get a result today?? 
 

plenty of games to go to be worrying about a relegation battle.

What’s your point conceded 6 goals already

You’ve made the perfect counter argument there mate.

But he does great against amateurs in the Internationals.

What a load of tosh this is 

[Philkeavo]

One clean in the last 27 away games, wow what a terrible statistic.

Imagine being YT and thinking you're good enough to play for these guys.

At the moment, sadly, he should be saying that about us.

Such as? How many drops, fumbles, shots through legs utter clangers. And not totally debatable shots from set pieces etc. He barely made any, in fact off hand I can think of about two in 10 years. 

It was rare - but he made mistakes. I can think of countless last season when he was glued to the goal line when a cross comes in. 
 

I’m in no way belittling his legendary status.

4-2 doesnt reflect it, could and maybe should have been 6-2

We have been so lucky.

There's losing then there's capitulation, the fact they've let us get two goals in this game shown they could've been got at.

Playing a better football team?

Fact we've scored at all isn't a fair reflection whatsoever 

[Tielemans63]

Would have settled for just our usual 2 goals conceded.

True enough but sides that concede goals as easily as us usually end up in the bottom end of the table.

We have showed at times today we are a decent side. However other times have shown that our weak mentality and lack of concentration have seriously cost us badly.

 

Someone needs to put a rocket up the backside of most of these players

Time to use Vardy as a Sub later on in games......

I was saying that pre season start DAKA give him game time and confidence then bring on Vardy last 20-25 min

Ward - terrible start to the season 

F**k this, where is Smithies??? 😂

[Lesterlad]

Nacho has been far more dangerous in his time on pitch then Vardy has been in 2 games.

They are utterly debatable “mistakes” though. Ward is shit and is going to make more of those, because I’ve seen him make loads for us and wales already.

Can't believe we've made this Arsenal team look this good.

 

Spoiler alert - they won't finish top 4 and we won't finish top half at this rate.

For as poor as we’ve been and the mistakes we’ve made, this Arsenal team is bloody good. 
You can’t have watched this game and not be able to appreciate how good they are? 

[The_Rorab]

There's no real shame losing to Arsenal away after their huge investments in the squad versus ours.

 

There is shame in HOW we've lost to Arsenal - we've been tragic.

Was such an easy pass though. Put some pace on it and it would have made it easily and set up a counter. 

I know what you mean, but this is a problem in our set up. Evan and Fofana should not be put into situations like this and should not be ones who make the most passes every game. It is the job of our midfielders especially Ndidi to take the ball and move the ball upfield.

[Claridge]

At least preat has shown why Rodgers hasn’t picked him, slow, lazy and doesn’t seem to give a sxxt
