Of the starting XI, Krul, Santon, MYM, Colo, Williamson, Tiote, Gouffran didn't play any minutes since the last league game 2 weeks ago. Sissoko (29 mins), Cabaye (90), Remy (61), Shola (63) weren't exactly bursting their guts over 2 international matches. How can tiredness be used as an excuse? It's tactical more than anything else. If you get your players to adopt a no-more-goals attitude they are obviously going to be mentally shot well before the final whistle.

He didn't play over the international break due to suspension. Plenty of rest iyam.

Weird. They didn't award the assist to Barkley either.

Just seen Arsenal's first goal. Wtf was Boruc thinking?

Looks like this will be a high-scoring week. The usual suspects scored.

51328.

Relieved. Made it harder for ourselves than it should have been.

Goal difference of 0 if it stays this way. I was hoping for a positive GD after today.

5 mins extra time...

Was offside.

Exactly. Should have put the game out of their reach long ago.

What rubbish. Not for the first time, dearie.

Hatem gets his token 10 mins to show his magic and change the game. Convenient scrapgoat if he doesn't.

Great, now we get the usual stress we could have done without.

Fucking typical.

Bet Hatem gets a token 10 mins cameo.

His cousin played for us.

Where's the support when Remy was attacking?

We should be making full use of this opportunity to boost our GD.

Elmander on. vs Willicini...

That's 4 long shots in one half from Tiote.

Corner. All the way out for Tiote to take a long shot ffs.

Ameobi.

Remy got the Tiotes.

Ballon D'Or deadline wasn't extended for Ronaldo.
