Having two midfielders who are able to bypass a press would have helped hugely last night obviously and you must wonder if Howe wants to scream at journalists to say that this was the reason we brought Tonali in to help out Bruno Arsenal just like many other teams know they just need to mark Bruno out of the game and they can win the ball back easily

Which two were on Karius?

Miley will defintely be dropped/rested before Longstaff

Bit strange that Sky have their two main games today overlapping Pretty sure our kick off in the final last year was 4:30pm rather than 3pm

He's been off it for a number of weeks now

Not sure the own goal was unlucky, he should have just cleared it properly

Surely the coaching and scouting team need to plan for it though Look at the clip of the first goal. It's a complete mismatch and Botman is left marking no one. Theyve had a whole week to plan this

I mean Botman is probably our best headerer of the ball on the pitch and he's in the middle of the goal marking no one?

Everyone in the country knows what arsenal do with corners, and we've just given them 2 goals from them. There must have been something we could have done to stop them getting two free headers from corners

The coaching and scouting team must know they put the ball to the front post every corner Why did we allow them two free headers that resulted in goals?

Burn

I still think how easily we've given them two set piece goals is really poor planning. They do the same corner routine every time

Aiston fuming

Genuinely amazed we have as many as 7 clean sheets this season

Said he didn't realise until Sheffield United here

I don't think they knew until it appeared in a scan at Sheffield Utd?

He's brought it on himself though with some suicidal passing

We could have practiced defending them. They do the same routine every corner

Thought that could have been offside on Saliba?

They do the same corner every time, did we not do any scouting of this? Embarrassing

An absolute shocker

Isn't that majority in youth/reserve games though? I've only seen him play left back when he played for Chelsea

Dreadful that

Hasn't looked anywhere close what we saw last season since he came back from injury The midfield can be an excuse but individually he's looked way out of form
