I'll take that considering I thought we were going to get thumped.

Yeah, we lost. Most fans expected us to lose. We don't have a fit striker, yet only lost 2-0. I'm pleased with the result and performance.
For those idiots saying that the tactics were wrong - it wouldn't frigging matter. It would be the same as me telling an under 18 runner in a race with Mo Farah that all he needs to do is attack from the outset and run the kick out of him. Yeah, that's gonna work isn't it? I do wonder at why some people follow football and think that they, who maybe have played saturday/sunday league and football manager are suddenly able to advise CH on how to set a team up.
We aren't a team full of £30-40m players. Accept that, for now, it's survival and them maybe we can hope to attract better player if they feel we're not relegation certainties.

We're a good team.
I'd be surprised if the fans didn't say that, he's bloody brilliant.

Sadly this will happen. Not just them but others as well. He won't leave mid season though

Obviously not pleased to lose, but all things considered that was a good performance. We still seem to be sloppy in possession in this league and I attribute this to nerves so I imagine this will improve as the season progresses. I think the players can take a lot of positives from the performance as we had some good spells against a very good side and weren't blown away. Woke up at 5am to watch 
Can't wait for the international break to be over and bring on Everton

At least we didn't embarrass ourselves and let in FOUR!
GD can be worth a point at the end of the season.
Well said.Having a fresh Knocky on and Murray up front, while Arsenal decided to sit back and keep what they had helped us have some ball and look a little better. We couldn't have done that at the start.

Pass accuracy 75%. That needs to improve. But holding Sanchez and Lacazette scoreless is a feather in the cap for Dunk and Duffy, while Ryan has had a strong game.

They won't be the only ones. Today he did no favours to the prospect of keeping him beyond this year. As the commentators said, he's a rare breed. A proper defender at the top level.

As far as know, Dunk has not got any French heritage in him, so they can FO!

Hopefully that will be the last time we have to play one of the top 6 away with no Hemed or Murray

That's 2 games we have been undone by clever little back-heels. Cant remember any before this level.
Proud of the boys today tough... we have players who belong at this level and don't look out of place.

Positives were that Matty Ryan shows he's got that early game yips out of his system and is looking a strong keeper. March is a class act and shows he can hurt even the best teams. Murray and the Greyhound had nice little cameos. We move on

I have suggested all season that he will be at Arsenal in January. Undone today by 2 CH errors.
1. Changing our formation to try to combat other teams play . We should stick to what we do best that is 4-4-2 even without a recognised target man.
2. Replacing March with Schletto it should have been Bruno and then attacked Arsenal from both flanks when Murray and Knockaert were on the pitch.,
