Awful awful awful team performance The players should be ashamed of their efforts today I can forgive mistakes but not the lack of effort

We lost it the second we went 442. Fucking idiotic decision that. We were just starting to get on top and we go 442 with two fucking midgets up front. Basic.

Well, we know what our weakness is now.

We HAVE to get smarter in the final 3rd. Hopefully Lamela and Eriksen give us that. But fuck me, even without them we should have been able to score ONE goal. One single goal. From open play in 3 games!

I half expected this result before the game, but seeing us drag it out til the end makes it more frustrating.

disappointed to lose obviously, but it was a very tight game.

the key for me is, when have we played such a negative scum? I don't think ever under Wenger. They sat back and countered the whole game. We were pummeling them at points during the game, but lacked that final ball. Perhaps if we had some of that urgency earlier in the game we would have a scored.

They will no doubt be crowing but if they are honest with themselves they will know that our team is more than a match for them in the PL this season.

Some thoughts:

Lamela looks quite the stud
Capoue looks to have done his ankle, but Sandro looks ready to start
Walker and Rose had poor final play today
Our CMs need to look for Soldado's runs, there were times where Paulinho and Dembele kept the ball when Soldado had a window
