Think we'll stay up but what's the point really?

If they are unfit they shouldn't even be on the bench and Rondon certainly didn't seem unfit during the week. Eh players come back from injury and onto the bench all the time. Like literally all the time. I don’t know what condition Rondon and Shelvey are in, I’m just assuming there’s legitimate reasons they were on the bench and then never came on. There’s multiple reasons why that could have happened. So why are they on the bench if you're not fit you're not fit and why not bring them on then. If they're fit enough to be on the bench then their fit enough to play the majority of the game. I can understand not the full 90 but to not even bring them on is just totally inexcusable. They were probably on the bench in case we were down one goal with 10 or 15 minutes to go. When Arsenal went two up Rafa probably felt that the risk of bringing them on wasn't worth it when we probably wouldn't get back into the game anyway

I had this one down as a win. Do I have your permission to be pissed off? You don't need my permission for anything, I'm simply making a comment regarding the huge overreactions in here - an accurate comment I would add. I'm simply making a comment too. I'm sorry, I don't understand what you're trying to say in your comments. I had a point, you're just being pedantic. Do you disagree with my initial statement, if so why? I disagree with your assertion that people complaining need to grab hold of themselves because they're pissed off over the match. My comment was that it's an overreaction to go from thinking we were the better team in the first half (and were), to we're going down after 2 goals have been conceded and the selection was wrong. That absolutely is an overreaction, and those people would benefit from getting hold of themselves. Which is all my point was, but equally I appreciate that you don't see it that way and view the reaction as justified. I don’t think we were the better team in the first half. It was pretty even but they had created a few good openings which they fucked up while we’d created nothing really

With what? For who? Kenedy is the only decent winger we've got and he wasn't starting. Rondon is the only decent(ish) striker we've got and he was on the bench as well. Cardiff scored two goals against them ffs

Arsenal not starting Torreira yet this season is hilarious

Rafa has this one down as a loss already

Have we created one decent chance today? Against a side who’ve been absolutely shite defensively this season

Not sure you can blame losing Lascelles on Arsenal completely dominating the midfield. Them bringing on Torreira was the difference

Xhaka isn’t shit. He’s maybe not suited to the PL and Arsenal don’t use him very well but he’s a canny player I think he's shit, so... he is shit Brilliant play for the second goal there... A cut back, that led to a blocked shot? yeah boss An inch perfect cut back, a great long pass for that last chance and a lovely free kick Lacazette was in plenty of space and Xhaka had all the time in the world. Yeah he hit a decent free kick, Seb Larsson used to do that as well. Most players don’t do the cutback there, they cross it high. Don’t get me wrong he has glaring weaknesses which are badly exposed at times by the way Arsenal play but he has a brilliant left foot and is a good player I think. Watch him for Switzerland and he controls the tempo of the game

Another outstanding ball by Xhaka for that chance

Should be saved

Xhaka isn’t shit. He’s maybe not suited to the PL and Arsenal don’t use him very well but he’s a canny player

We didn’t have many attacks like

What a strike

Chelsea winning 2-1 now. Both by Hazard

Ritchie’s haircut is awful, playing well though. Fernandez has been excellent

And back It was just because they didn’t have a chance to swap back over after the free kick as Arsenal kept possession for ages

Fernandez looks good

Murphy in behind Bellerin is the chance we have. He’s absolutely shite

God I hate this season. What a terrible team

He’ll probably score now but Kane looks fucked

Utter shite in defence and attack bar Lucas Moura. This would be 5 or 6 if Liverpool’s front 3 were playing to their best

Liverpool butchering so many good opportunities
