They find it to easy to pass behind us. We play the same passes son and BJ stand still and pass back out like they cannot take on a man.

Nothing has changed my mind that our failure to significantly upgrade our attack will cost us massively this season. Two dangerous wide forwards and we'd be flying. But no, let's give it another year of treading water.

Played well in patches and ok in others. Thought we defended set pieces better, lacking an option out wide but all in all solid and still very much in the game

I can't stand Neville when he commentates on our games. He also seems to love Arsenal even more than Man U.

We are very disappointing in the final third yet again. Bad decisions galore, reluctance to shoot as always, static and one-dimensional.

Why can't we make runs in behind more, more one-twos or do more overlaps? It's so predictable and pedestrian. Try to wiggle the ball out wide to a winger who will not take on the fullback is not working

The number of times he's tongue-fucked his little tin whistle is a concern, he's trying to stop anyone from doing anything at all, but the cards thing, he's losing his spaghetti here, dude's high.

What a shit time when a ref ruins a tough game - these are grown men and pro footballers, if these cards were warranted then they'd be rolling about crying, neither side is getting a chance to put more than a few passes together because of this madcase

Away from officiating -

We've been the slightly better side although they've had arguably the the best chance. Johnson on the right just doesn't work. I understand he's there to provide width but that player still needs to provide quality of the ball.

Most cards ever in the 1st half of a premier league game. The ref is havin a laugh. It wasn't that kinda half.

We are own enemies. When will this club change ?
You go into the game with a perceived advantage over opponents team strength...only for our players to nullify the advantage by getting 5 yellow cards in first half and handing the game to them
Are you watching the games or just looking at stats. At least 3 were not yellows.

Grow up. Always the negative with you.

When Arsenal started getting properly good, they ascended to the City echelon of getting away with constant niggly fouls all game.

If the same standard in this game was applied to Rodri, he'd literally be sent off every single game.
And you factor in the lack of control of Arteta playing ball boy out of his technical area it all mounts up to extreme irritation.

Then I look at Lego head, trossard and whites faces and have to restrain myself from spontaneous combustion in irritation.

I think we have to consider changes to reduce the number of players on yellows, it’s something that could bite us soon - either with a red card or stepping out of a tackle that leads to a goal.

Need to use the wings more. Everything going through the busy centre. Maddison needs to do more, atm all he’s doing is slowing things down to make a sideways pass
I like Johnson, but there have been a couple of moments where players wanted to use him on the right - but making that run for the through ball past the FB - and he does not see the run. And, staying out wide against the low block does not really help move any defenders, and he is not even making the crosses - need to bring on Odobert, and put Timber to the sword to draw that 2nd yellow.
