    For Arsenal, the centre back's holding, the full back's bell end.

    Another good chance from hughes, but ref gave a foul against Gray anyway

    Is anyone else following this or is it just a free swing and nobody interested?
     
  6. Playing well. Just worries me that we can't keep this pace up and will yet again be out on our feet on 60 minutes.

    Really positive start - they will get their chances as we won't be able to keep this intensity up but hopefully we get a goal before that happens.

    Andre Gray ruins a counter as he ignores a simple pass to Hughes on his right.

    This game is wide open. I worry that if it stays this way, Arsenal have deadly strikers. But we are well in the game so far.

  19. If that's Sats Ni, that makes me annoyed - I haven't been able to log in to the app since they updated all the channels overnight.

    Have found one in the LiveLounge app - although it's in Arabic.

    I'm not liking Navarro defending so far.

    Suddenly the great start is looking like a good start... Suddenly Leicester, who haven't been brilliant, only 1 point behind!

    Javi' s fault 100%. Subs too slow and too poor again. It's an Achilles heel which is costing us points.

    Excellent performance that deserved more. Lots of "what ifs?"

    What if Success had taken one of those chances?

    What if Gracia had made more substitutions or brought on Success earlier?

    Bottom line is we've got nothing from a top 6 team. But we were at least as good or better than them for much of the game. That is not too shabby.

    I am a little worried that we have lost the winning habit. A win against muff is essential now.

    Great performance from our boys away. Yet again we leave with our heads held high. The result doesn’t reflect the game at all. We had them up against it for most of the second half and then they get a fluke OG that undone all our hard work. I think Cech going off actually saved them the game. Leno has been motm by a mile, he is the only reason Arsenal were still in it.

    On a side note, that’s 3 games in a row where poor refereeing decisions have cost us. How Torreira wasn’t sent off for persistent fouling is astonishing.

    Good away performance overall but some poor finishing cost us. Would've been 0-0 if Cathcart wasn't so unlucky.

    Result needs context really, if we had beaten Fulham and beat Bournemouth then all good. Lose to Bournemouth with the same problems in front of goal then this could be a concern.

    Need Gerard D back ASAP?

    Doccoure off the boil.

    Pereyra warmed up but needs to get involved more.

    Deeney excellent second half, Capoue very good and Kabasele solid too.

    Navarro can join Sema in the dud box. Kiko F right back next week please.

    To be fair I think the ref should have given a penalty in the first ten minutes.

    According to friends there we didn't deserve that.
    However,just like last week,chances need to be taken.
    Proud of the performance and effort.

    Gutted after that game. We were better them them for large parts of the match and had a couple of great chances, along with a boatload of half-chances before they scored completely against the run of play.

    Still concerned about the substitutions coming too late (or not at all). Capoue looked knackered after 65 minutes. Why not bring on Chalobah for some extra energy in midfield?

    Success looked promising again though missed his big chance. I thought Deeney was very good throughout and really threaded some nice balls through to Gray and Success. What a save from Leno from his chance. Thought Hughes again looked great but also got tired in the second half, can't wait to get Deulofeu back as an option.

    I know we shouldn't be too disappointed because it's Arsenal away etc... but we deserved a point from that and could easily have taken the win another day. The big concern is we start losing some of the belief and confidence we've had up until this point, ahead of a run of games that should be a lot more winnable.

    No reason to panic if you think we are a mid table team. Still giving good teams problems in matches.

    If you think we are good enough for top 4 carry on with the moaning.

    I have to disagree. We were well on top and at least one of Gray, Success and Cathcart should have scored their chances before Arsenal went 1-0 up out of nothing. In my opinion Javi was right to hold off on the subs, and when he did make the change, Success for Gray was the right one. And it could have been the match-winning change but for the breadth of the Arsenal post.

    It was another really good performance against a "big" team; we've picked up 3 points out of 9 against Spurs, Man U and Arsenal, but based on the performances it really should have been at least 5. If that's not encouraging, albeit disappointing, then I don't know what is.

    We're into a run of five league games now where there's a great chance of putting plenty of points on the board, if the team can pick themselves up again. With the spirit in this side - on show again today - I have every faith that they can do just that.
