Fixed that

I feel like there are players who have shown far less than him today

 

[BainesMakeHerDance]

we're 2-0 down mate
you can try taking comfort from looking good for parts, but looking good doesn't help our league position

I understand that.

I just don't quite get all the negativity given the clubs overall recent history. We DID look better today, that is an improvement. Yes I am aware we still lost, and our league position is crap.

Most people on here were expecting to get clobbered AND look like crap, neither of those really happened and yet the same people are even more upset it seems, odd that to me. Just an opinion is all.

 

[Del-boy]

And we haven’t conceded on a set piece so that’s a positive...

 

[LEONARD]

Looking forward to the radio Murkeyside phone-in.

 

[Bungle]

We're becoming poor little victims blaming anything and everything for being crap. Oh but but the ref, oh but we had lots of shots and look attacking, oh when we get x player back.

We're one step away from alternative league tables to show where we'd be theoretically if we got extra points for injuries, just stop this madness please guys.

 

[Azza]

Remember though this will be an "expected loss".

 

[Marius57]

Some good performances. Gueye and davies have done very well in my opinion. Kenny and Digne have looked decent. Richarlison has faded a bit this half but has been good.

 

[BlueShark]

Strange day this. I actually think we've looked very good here, but at the end of the day it's another standard loss to Arsenal.

To fume or not to fume, that is the question.

 

[Carl O'Ancelotti]

It's the getting your hopes up at h/t that kills you. Still, better losing with a good performance than being garbage with no shots on target under BFS. Its a work in progress and the signs are there.

 

[LouReedwalkonthewildside]

we should have at least have had 1 goal,we have had more shots,more on target etc etc,its took a wonder goal,and an offside goal to beat us,as well as us missing sitter chances

We've had one more attempt on goal than them mate, and one more shot on target, and Arsenal have had 63% of the possession.

 

[ADT]

This scoreline is not reflective of the game, not much of a consolation but I’m going to take it especially given last weeks dire result and our history at this ground.

I blame the lack of VAR.

 

[daza_1973]

Just like us to get the Silva that took hull down and the Silva post Watford purple patch...
Which flash in the pan manager will we be getting for the next campaign ??
That bearded one from wolves looks a good bet...

 

[Rook]

Siggy has been dire here

rooney keeps getting in the way

 

[mmmmsnouts]

If we still had a world class striker we would be pushing top 6, need to invest in one sooner rather than later.

You have to have one interested in signing for you, in case you forgot how the summer of 2017 went

Apart from the ref, there was nothing dire. We could have come back from 1 goal down, giving that second goal killed the game for us.
