Gylfi is offering nothing, just waves his arms around to CB’s to switch it - never offers for the ball and when he gets it loses it.

Yeh he is basically just trying to conduct everyone else into what he can't.

Big tackle that from Leno. Poor for our second but great since.

We have been beaten by our abject stupidity. I hope Ancelotti rips into them that there was absolutely nothing to fear tonight against this mob and we just shit the bed

Ancelotti has ironed out some issues and gotten an extra 15% out of some players. Nothing he can do about his CM options. Positive is Gomes - ran the show since coming on.

Exactly! Come to expect it now though.

Bailey.... the problem is that it's not expected that a keeper messes about with the ball like that.

He just literally delayed a clearance so he could get some on the arsenal player.... something missing in the lads head.

DCL did fantastic to get his head on that one just unlicky it didn't go in. Just not happening for us unfortunately, shame because we've played too well to get beat. Football can be a fucker like that. 

We just are not smart enough at times.

What a mixed bag that was. 

Started well, on the front foot but once Arsenal started to play we couldn't really get close to them. We were always a threat on the counter but they had too much for us in midfield.  

They were clearly the better team for the next hour or so and then they dropped deeper and deeper, Gomes and Bernard came on and we started playing through them a lot better and we created plenty of chances in that period. They almost exclusively fell to DCL and ironically he probably scored the hardest chance he had and missed the easy ones. 

There must be a few questions on Carlo for this given the starting line-up. Delph came good in the end, but Sidibe and Iwobi had no reason to start. We play better with Bernard, he should start every game. Sidibe is a liability at the back and shouldn't be starting ahead of Coleman. 

The biggest positive was the return of Gomes though, looked better than I was expecting in truth and I can't wait to see how he does under Ancellotti.
