Trossard has downed tools. Awful since the World Cup.

Must say, much prefer it with Veltman in the defence!

You must be new to football.

More than 45 minutes left.

Get a goal back and we're back in it.

We're not playing terribly, with a weakened squad, against the league leaders.

I mean, it looks like a decent mid table team without a lot of their best players Vs the best team in the league.

Exactly . . . . They have £50m players, we have £5m players

we have better but they're missing.

both goals have had a whiff of fortune, but if you don't shoot . . . .

I hope BobDZ goes radical at half time, it's a free hit, and we could learn/gain something from this yet.

I know the result is poor but I don’t think we’ve been awful. I’ve seen Arsenal do worse to teams with their first choice 11 out there.

Gilmour is just not making himself available in the same confident manner than Caicedo does. Having said that, Arsenal are giving us no time in midfield.

Think Gilmours done ok but him and Gross up against it. defensively we’ve been exposed. Early goal was a killer. Shown nothing up front. Give Ferguson a go 2nd half.

Quite. There is a reason that it’d take something in the region of 150m to prize away the 2 players that are unavailable for us today. Sort of glad it’s against the best team in the league and not the lower-table fodder that we’d expect to be beating at home these days.

Arse could go down to 10 men at the current rate of waving . . . . . That'll be 0-3 then

Yes it did. I hope Lamptey isn't singled out for the goal - as one more touch would have seen him clear himself. Unlucky more than anything else.

I think we are going to have to be kind with the players coming in, they are going to make some mistakes but they are doing a lot of good stuff too.

Yeah he can't do any worse, basically like playing with ten men out there.

What it does highlight though is that we could do with a bit more strength in depth.

I really think he doesn’t get on with RDZ. Always been a bit sulky

We clearly haven't been awful, but we have been awfully lacking. But this is a very good Arsenal side.
