Jayson

Very hard worker, but needs to get on the ball in space far more & look up. He had one moment he nearly slid it through to Ba, outside of that it was all basic stuff. Hes supposed to be our creative force in the middle.

First half we kept it down well. 2nd half for me is just player mentality. Arsenal got stronger & seemed more dangerous, the players naturally revert to a more defensive mentality because of that & start hoofing it clear. Obviously Pards needs to change that, but he didnt go out and go "Ok first half worked really well, now lets start bollocking it down the pitch". Its clearly a players choice in the moment.

To short to play CB, played well as a fullback today.

More likely the players just reacted to Shola coming on by hoofing it long more. The sub in itself was perfectly fine, Obertan did nowt & shola earned it last week.

Danny lad, dont take throw ins placing you 45 yards into their half leaving us massively exposed in the last minute. Simple stuff.

Yep he played pretty well after their goal.

Why the fuck was Simpson even TAKING the throw in man. Thats whats stupid about it, it took our fullback entirely out of the game & they scored from his position.

Presumably he thought we weren't in the game at 1-1. I didnt really see any tactical decision to sit back on it. We were just wank in possession tbh. Not everything is Pardews fault, he set us up well today.

Fuck sake man. All that defensive work fucked by a shit throw in choice.

Doesnt even give us a chance, Webb you clown

Wank play from Simpson btw
