Willock seems to scuff a lot of his chances, I don’t get it as he’s capable of striking the ball so cleanly. I think when he goes for too much pace he messes it up. 

 

Absolutely. There was no conviction in that shot at all, really frustrating. But if he does sort out his shooting we've got an unreal player on our hands.

Conversely, we could had had 4.

two i would say. Arsenal had the better after Murphy hit the post.

The space Odegaard had to hit that was unacceptable, like. 

 

Very annoying goal due to how preventable it is. Everybody knows to not give that guy a chance to shoot from outside the box.

Mission one is to keep the goal difference down here, we're lucky it's only 0-1.

 

We look alright in attack but, unfortunately, the defence has completely freefalled in recent times.

 

Hope Eddie finds a way to turn this around because the current plan won't score.

The current plan won’t score other than a shot off the post, a well worked corner that was almost a pen / would have been on goal, and a free shot from Willock that he really should have scored?

Miggy for me

 

Not sure we need Gordon’s temperament at this point 

[andyc35i]

Isak has been wasted in that half. I don’t know how we change it to get him in the game and hopefully Eddie can come up with something. Maybe a change of shape and go 4-4-1-1 and give him a free role.
 

Whatever happens, they’re going to get more chances on the break with their quality on the ball and pace on the break 

[r0cafella]

Our game plan has been slightly off mind, we need to make the pitch as big as possible, they have no legs in central midfield at all.

Fucking hell, Gordon would cause a red card if he came on in this game, either for them or for himself.

[Holloway]

Morphy end product reverting to type,make the fucking thing happen man

[Kanji]

If we’re making a sub I’d bring Maxi for murph and get Joelinton or willock on one wing and maxi the other with isak behind Wilson.

He has looked just a tad slow today in his thinking imo. Those extra seconds make a difference. Still hugely unlucky not to score.

[JUICE690]

We’re desperate for another set piece taker. Frustratingly wasteful, and not just in this game.

He expected the rules to be applied appropriately. He's new. He'll learn.

Wasn’t a pen like. Unfortunately/fortunately delete as appropriate. 

[Yorkie]

So was it overturned because there was absolutely conclusive evidence that it hit the guy's leg before it hit his arm? My unbuttered arse.

He basically didn’t even protest it, that’s when you know. The replay isn’t all that conclusive to me, his shorts are gonna move anyway. 

[Beren]

Gordon's done nowt so far to suggest he's ready for this game IMO. He'd be a liability right now.

[TheBrownBottle]

Re the Willock chance - if he tries to put that far stick there’s a really good chance that the defender‘s blocks the shot.  He scuffs it a bit because he’ll have needed to change the direction of the shot when he realises the defender is likely to block it. 

[Armchair Pundit]

Such a frustrating game

[nufcjb]

Bruno needs to find his magic hat again.

Everything going down the right, or at least most things. Need to mix it up a bit more.

NBC delighted the title is still on. Howay Man City.

Title isn’t on like - Man City one point ahead and a game in hand aren’t messing that up.

It wasn’t, but if it was at the other end they would have given it, and that same one that was given against us vs Brentford has not been repaid which I thought was suppose to happen?

[STM]

It's been 4 good chances to them, 2 to us. It wasn't a pen, it hit his thigh.

 

Bruno has been poor, Isak hasn't got into it.

 

Arsenal have played us, in the same way we played them, we shouldn't whinge.

 

This game isn't over.

Aye it’s total crap the only ground to overturn should be if the ball didn’t hit his hand, the deflection shouldn’t be relevant as the penalty was given.
