doesn't seem that motivated at the moment.

Didn't really see any of those as chances tbh. The one where they hit the post was barely even a half chance. The chances we missed were much clearer imo. They came to counter but literally registered zero counter attacks - thought we managed that really well for a change so was happy with that. We still have the most clean sheets at home in the league this season and this was more like one of those performances but was ruined by Dummett being fucking brainless which is obviously hard to ignore. Clearly we tired in the last 20 minutes and started giving the ball away a bit more, but in terms of that we're back to the scenario where there's literally nothing we can do about that thanks to injuries. I dunno, I'm angry because of the nature we conceded but in terms of performance it was more like what I'd hope for than we've managed recently.

absolutely raging at him, like. Fucking dickhead.

thought he was decent tbh. Much better than he has been recently at least.

he gave us some of the cynical play we've been missing the last few months imo. Made at least two really smart fouls to prevent counter attacks before they got going.

their only chance in the game was a penalty. It's a complete contrast to any of our recent performances where we've been gifting teams like Everton countless chances to score. We created chances, killed counter attacks before they began, battered them in duels and won second balls. We've not controlled a game as well as that for a while now.

Really hard disagree with this. It was a much better and more controlled performance than any recently.

much, much better performance than against West Ham and most recently. Defended smarter, built up well, controlled the game, created chances and limited theirs.

been unimpressed by Willock's cameo. When you compare it with Anderson's performance it's night and day in terms of energy and enthusiasm.

been a really good performance completely ruined by Dummett's idiocy

ridiculous, man. So stupid.

just need to give Willock the ball and let him carry it to waste time/get us up the pitch now and hope that's enough.

Longstaff has been terrible recently but he's been good in this game barring that one error. No problem with that sub given Anderson's lack of football.

Howay Arsene get your finger out

Deserved for Burn. Been magnificent in this game.

Most touches on the pitch in the first half btw

once he gets some games under his belt I don't think this'll be an issue either. He's never really had the chance for various reasons.

Burn is giving the best CB performance we've managed in months btw.

he must've spent the last 6 months in the gym, like. Winning most of his duels against a really physical team.

Isak is hitting new levels here

cracking goalkeeping tbf

Anderson is so keen to impress. This is exactly what we've needed in midfield.

As long as they've finally realised that Dubs is never going to take charge himself then I'm fine with it.

lol, how on earth is that not a yellow

Hall is really helping us build. Impressed with his decision making.
