Really poor half. Absolutely no incision going forward and a shambles at the back with two headers from a guy who is not very tall (Ings).

I really can't see a way back even with substitutions. This looks like the end of the unbeaten run.

My only real criticism of Emery is that we are ALWAYS chasing the game. Play your full fucking team and win the game early.

I cannot believe he keeps starting a player as good as and a player in form like Lacazette on the bench while starting pish like Iwobi and Miki. Yes they both contributed to the goal but still don’t do anywhere near enough throughout the game.

I think we will MAYBE nick a draw which in terms of going for top 4 with everyone else winning is pretty shite.

Koscielny had been shite before his injury and his name on the team sheet today filled me with dread!
Its only halftime so dont be surprised to ser him fuck up again!
I can see us conceding 4 here unless we score early in second half.

Iwobi has been really poor again and offers nothing except in the defensive half. We really lack depth on the wings.

Too much space in midfield.

Ramsey has to come on

Get in.

Lucky deflection but reward for the really hard pressing of Guendouzi and Lacazette.

Need to kick on now.

Jeeezusss H we're making very hard work out of this.

I think Unai Emery has done an amazing job so far in that we all knew;though perhaps hated to admit that it was going to be a long hard climb to get anywhere near to the title.

He HAS TO buy some new players come the Summer and ditch the deadwood.

I'm beginning to think our 'un-beaten run' is something of a misnomer, we really aren't THAT good, which is what an un-beaten run seems to indicate.

Even allowing for a significant amount of rustiness Koscielny has been a disgrace.

To be honest he was showing quite a worrying decline before his injury. Really don’t think we can expect anything out of him going forwards.

Fucking Comedy Iwobi is total gash again. Mickey Tarragon just as bad but somehow has two goals ! :shock: :lol:

We create next to nothing without Ozil in there. Simple fact. Sorry that should be FACT. :lol: :wink: Torriera and the Dozer are good but are often too deep to create.

The Boomerang is a good striker but he misses too many to be considered a top class striker tbh.

Kos has been awful. Shocking for both goals.

Saints fans wheel out the small club agenda every time one of their players fouls us "Same old Arsenal alwayssszzzzzz". Tedious cùnts. :roll:
