Poch gotta take the blame for this one, first time he’s got it wrong for a while.

Sad truth the game was lost in midfield. For us... out numbered and pressed from every turn. Foyth was also not keeping the line for the last goal either.....

Emery looks like he is suffering from flu but still had a clear head to make changes at the right time,.

When you play Deli Eriksen and Son against a good team that presses you after going to be fucked if the rest don't do a job because the 3 of them combined don't make one defender ?

I think you need two sitting midfielders if you are going to do than in a game like this...

Don’t give him an excuse and blame the youngster. He’s been woeful.

I try to get to the root cause. The root cause when Arsenal saw that team sheet and you have one of your best defenders not playing - that instantly put us at a disadvantage and basically we were rags to a bull - they pressured us and we never settled.

We got a penalty that shouldnt have been given and for 10 minutes we had them on the rattle. We never recovered. Poch didnt do jack shit. They changed things at half time even when they were only 2-1 down.

It wasnt an excuse because everyone has been shit but we were at a disadvantage to begin with. WHAT KIND OF MADNESS. arghhh

Maybe they should allow managers to be substituted as well as players during a match ??....have the assistant sitting on the touchline waiting for the nod from Levy (y)

Aurier has had a torrid game. No composure at all. Seems to be one of those who can be rattled easy if you pressure him.

Another reason why Toby should have started

In truth 4-2 is a very kind score to us, only for arsenal being so shit at the back and finishing they could have beat us about 8-0 ha useless ****s

Really disappointed by this today, think Poch got it completely wrong starting Foyth.

Just don't get it, we have Alderweireld and Vertonghen, best CB pairing in the league.

The Foyth/Toby decision was wrong on so many levels...

1: gives your opponents a lift
2: unsettles your own defence

And he almost got away with it 2:1 at half-time, see that you’re lucky to be ahead but make changes. To wait until 4-2 down was criminal

This is what stops
Poch being an elite manager.

Losing midfield control is not on him. We don't have enough quality there and we will always lose it with any team selection against teams like City, Liverpool and Arsenal. Also good luck against Barcelona in CL with our set of midfielders.
We should at least bloody try, though. This game was crying out for Winks.

Once again all the chat on social media and put in this sort of performance
Fuck Off all of them..... it seems they don't care about us fans when it comes to playing at Emirates.
Need a big performance on Wed now as an apology for that turgid performance.
So angry as got a week of shit at work now too
