A lot just didn't come off for the lad yesterday but so many time we got the ball from deep and drove us forward. Grabbing the game by the scruff of the neck if we wanna be turbo cliche.

Big, big shame his header didn't go in. Would have been really interesting to see how we would have handled being ahead, probs prevents him getting sent off and the Henderson VAR thing too. The goal would have been the reward his performances this season deserved.

No question on the red, the game went mental after DCL equalised and he's let it get to his head and acted incredibly rashly. Good on him for trying to reduce the impact to Thiago and apologising, he's gonna be a big miss next 3 games but hoping he comes back even hungrier than he a;ready is.

Think he struggles in the derby. Loses his head.

Said it before the red card - it's like he's so desperate to score he goes into tunnel vision.

Actually thought his all-round performance was decent.

He had to work so hard going back but TAA was never really a threat - credit to Digne on that too!

Rash challenge and now because we're short up front as it is we're missing a key cog.

Iwobi has played well recently but there's a big gulf between him and Rich.
 
A couple of weeks rest and comes back fresh.

I admired how he learned from his last red card where he had been would up by the full back - came back with some greater maturity. I'm sure he'll learn from this experience too and with some luck Iwobi will be given three games to impress. Inspiring Richie to up his game even further when he gets back.
 

I can't really hide my disappointment in that tackle to be honest (which ruined an overall good game from him). Now we've lost him for the rest of the month and most of next month too. The whistle had already gone on the pitch, so he didn't need to make the tackle at all, yet he still did. Why would you make a do or die challenge in an area of the pitch where it just didn't matter, with such force and were the consequences were so grave? He could have cost us the game on Saturday with that recklessness. The way he sauntered of the pitch all moody didn't impress me either. Maybe I'm being harsh on him, but I expected so much more from him. He's got to learn quickly.
