Andrew 4748 Posted December 16, 2017 Share Posted December 16, 2017 Just now, Kid Dynamite said: A lot easier when not 1 player runs towards you From a clearing header that he took on first time, that happened very quickly after sanchezs was blocked and then headed clear. Sometimes it just a good goal man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ewerk 30569 Posted December 16, 2017 Share Posted December 16, 2017 Any sort of quality at all in the final third would have seen us get at least an equaliser in this second half. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kid Dynamite 7025 Posted December 16, 2017 Share Posted December 16, 2017 That was a hard one to take. We were easily the better side second half. Diame passing it back to the keeper from the half way line with 30 seconds to go Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Howmanheyman 33143 Posted December 16, 2017 Share Posted December 16, 2017 Perez needs to put that header on target at least, got back into it but real lack of quality is killing us. Other results not helping either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Howmanheyman 33143 Posted December 16, 2017 Share Posted December 16, 2017 Merino looks fucked at the min, blowing out of his arse and doesn't look as 'match fit' since coming back from injury IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zerosum 234 Posted December 16, 2017 Share Posted December 16, 2017 Well at least we weren’t thumped. With a better striker we would have drawn, given the chances. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noelie 103 Posted December 16, 2017 Share Posted December 16, 2017 Rafa, if you need a last minute goal, you do not put Diame on. Good defensive display to keep it to one goal. We could have stolen a point, the chances were there but no capable people. Perez had a glorious chance with his header but blew it. Ritchie did well when he came on, maybe shouldn't have been dropped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Gloom 21912 Posted December 16, 2017 Share Posted December 16, 2017 That was agonising. We should have got a point in the end. Food to see us getting back to basics with a better defensive display. Hopefully something to take into the West Ham game. That’s a genuine six pointer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Renton 21592 Posted December 16, 2017 Share Posted December 16, 2017 Matches either side of new year are vital as well. Both winnable, less than four points would be very bad. We'll be gaped on boxing day like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Howay 12496 Posted December 16, 2017 Share Posted December 16, 2017 (edited) Games like that are hard to take like, we defended well and it took a fairly spectacular effort to get a goal for them. Any sort of quality in attacking positions would have got us at least a point. It’s positive to see us looking better again defensively since Lascelles comeback, a complete clanger from the keeper, and a brilliant finish from Ozil being the only goals conceded, but we really have fuck all up front. I still don’t see the point in playing Joselu, I understand Gayle at times can look very isolated in that formation but at least he’s something resembling a goal threat if he ever did get a half chance. Just have to hope that the fat pig sells because honestly if he fucks this deal up following this lot will become fairly pointless, as this squad shows more than any that Ashley has no ambition or interest whatsoever to even allow the club to do anything besides attempt to cling onto PL survival for as cheap as possible. I know we knew most of that before but this would be him throwing away what would more than likely be the last good offer for the club he could hope for.

Graing 15 Posted December 16, 2017 Share Posted December 16, 2017 (edited) Ozil’s goal was quality. We looked like we couldn’t be bothered at times - but better towards the end. Ritchie looked good and should have gotten the start. Joselu was a waste of a spot. Diame was a head-scratcher of a sub and played as if he thought so as well. All in all, don’t honestly think anyone expected a better result at Arsenal given the disparity in quality. Fanks Mike.

OTF 7295 Posted December 16, 2017 Share Posted December 16, 2017 (edited) One of our better games in recent months, showed some resolve in the second half and were largely defensively ok throughout. If we had some decent strikers we'd have scored an equaliser, Perez in particular wasted some.veru good chances. We should consider this a warm up for the Man City game, key that we don't get massacred im that because that West Ham game is of vital importance.

Haydnator 45 Posted December 16, 2017 Share Posted December 16, 2017 Ever since Everton on Wednesday night, I've been quite worried tbh. That game opened my eyes to just how poor we are. West Ham away next weekend is a gargantuan game. If we don't get a good result in that I dread to think what will happen when Man City come to SJP on the 27th. The lack of assurance over the takeover isn't helping the atmosphere amongst the fanbase either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is actually a reasonable performance to launch into what will be a vital game for us this season, not just for our hopes of avoiding relegation, but perhaps in helping in the change of ownership that the club so desperately needs. Joselu should be dropped of course (Gayle being the only option to replace him), otherwise the same team should start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noelie 103 Posted December 16, 2017 Share Posted December 16, 2017 Is Mbemba injured? He has not been on the bench for the last couple of games. Interesting to see that Mitrovic wasn't on the bench today. I'd take him over Joseloo any day.(no I didn't misspell, I put 'loo' cos he's shite) Unfortunately the Hammers are striking and improving, doesn't bode well for us next week, they may forge another win. Ah, the slippery slope, as expected we slid into the cellar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philmagwired 4 Posted December 16, 2017 Share Posted December 16, 2017 Played not too shabby. Perez reminding us time and again that when it comes to a game saving/winning opportunity, he's nowhere near the deal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
