Watched the game back, a bit of fast forwarding. In truth lookimg at it objectively, we got hella lucky we didn’t get tanked, the 2-1 flatters us.

Yep my view on it too. If they'd a decent striker we would have been annihilated

There were times where we didn't look coached. Dragusin ambling over to Trossard before he scores, Bergvall having the opportunity to cross on the 18 yard box and turning 180 degrees to pass it back spring to mind.
For me that was the worst thing in the whole game (and there were plenty of bad things to pick from). It's absolutely inexcusable for a defender to just lope about and make no attempt to close down the opposition.

And yet there were some good performances from Spurs players.

A surprisingly noisy stadium crowd given that it was Arsenal at home, even so the same few Arsenal players regularly trying to stir the crowd to make still more noise was curious and thought-provoking. In every case, those Arsenal players chose their crowd-stirring gestures just a few seconds after some exciting play from Arsenal had raised crowd-noise. Was this highly-strung players just hungry for ever more praise from their supporters? Self-doubts, eh?

...like when Gabriel celebrated like fuck for shepherding the ball out for a goal kick? :ROFLMAO:

Apart from Spence, Gray and Bergval we were largely shit and disappointing. Arsenal played like a Tony Pulis Stoke team and took a couple of their chances albeit one being from a non-corner. According to Legohead, they were sensational

Arsenal are a bunch or weird ****s.

It never fails to amuse me how people react.

We're a bottom half team that is devastated by injuries playing a top 4 team away and we only lost due to an own goal. I would have expected a 2 nil or similar loss when you look at where both teams are, yet people want to blame certain players and throw Ange under a bus, as long as there is some one to blame it makes them feel better.

Didn't we just beat the competition leaders a week ago ?
We won the first leg of a semi so it’s half time. We beat Qarabag 3-0 but they should have scored 3 themselves. We are just getting away with it at times . Coaches are supposed to adapt but Ange just carries on with his Ardiles football with no midfield. Do you really think in a few weeks with a full strength team we are going to go on a run. We were the first team that Palace beat this season , we were just about full strength and delivered a terrible performance . First 9 games, won 4 lost 4. What’s new.
That was embarrassing last night.
Would hope Mikey Moore and Richy can start v Everton.

Seriously though, we are in relegation form and tumbling fast towards the bottom
The question I keep asking myself is this. Given the injuries and all, surely we should have picked up more than 5 points from the last 27 we played for?? Or are those starting 11 players in each of those 9 games, much more useless and less talented than the teams we played and underneath us?? If we lose against Everton, we will be right in the shitter. I'm trying to cling on to a glimmer of hope that we can find 14 to 16 points from the 51 remaining. Surely we can, but maybe we can with a different leader. I haven't felt like this for many many years and I remember when we were relegated in the 70s and the shit show in the 90s when an away win at Oldham I believe, pretty much saved us from the drop.
3 wins will do it 33 pts.

We don’t need wingers AND fullbacks acting like wingbacks.

Makes us easy to score against.
