But who's going to match him for goals and assists and also have much better ball retention? It's not like he passes the ball to the opposition often. A major part of his lower ball retention is due to the fact he tries crosses and shots. Easy for wingers to retain the ball more if they risk possession less but they aren't likely to get near him in assists in that case.

No at beating a man occasionally and actually getting a few crosses in. Unlike Barnes who did neither.

Gordon was better than Barnes in that first half.

Just played this completely wrong. There keeper made two massive fuck ups right away and that should have been the signal to put as much pressure on him as possible. Instead we sat back and gave him time to settle down. Ridiculous. All because Howe wanted to be more defensive instead of just going at them from the start.

Someone shoot me...

Utter shite from Gordon, lost the ball then totally weak, no real effort to get it back.

We're actually playing well because we don't have a player completely missing up front, AKA Isak. I still think he's an excellent player and will get back into form. But last 4 or 5 games has absolutely hindered us by being either invisible or actively giving the opposition the ball, sometimes in dangerous areas.

He's still been better than Isak recently in that he's at least held the ball up and found a teammate on occasion. But aye needs to come off ASAP for Osula.

Got to put as much pressure as possible on that keeper!

Forrest win is best for us IMO. They play Chelsea last day anyway so both cannot finish ahead of us no matter what. Forrest winning keeps them in with a chance of finishing ahead of Chelsea which is better for us since there max points total is below Chelsea.

Because he doesnt touch the ball, doesnt challenge any opposition player and doesnt obstruct the keeper because the goal scorer is between him and the keeper. His entire involvement in play is to jump next to the goal scorer and obstruct no oppositon player at all. Did take far too long though, should have been a 3 min check at best.

The positive thing about Callum Wilson starting is that Callum Wilson cant be replaced by Callum Wilson on 65 minutes.

Howe rabbit in the headlights again.

Get Isak off man.

When did we get two players sent off??

Then go back on it. Was seriously crap outside of the deflected goal. Couldn't beat his man after multiple opportunities. A decent cross or two, that's about it.

Question is can we beat Arsenal for a 4th time this season?

You mean when he kicked out at Tonali and fell over? The one VAR looked at on around 75 minutes or so?

infuriating that we let Minteh score, because he's actually pretty shite.

Can still put the pens away even when he's not playing well!!

Willock being replaced by Wilson. Should also get Isak off for Osula now because he's been completely pointless again.

Has it ever happened that a ref hasn't done exactly what VAR tells him to?

Willock runs right on front of Gordon when he has a chance to shoot.. fucking hell man.

Just cannot be relying on Willock after a single injury if we're a champions league team. Has to be replaced.

Completely obvious what he was going to do, nobody does a thing about it FFS.
