ESR very poor tonight. Did he even try to go past anyone? Doesn't deserve a run out based on this game
He should be given 3 or 4 games....the bloke has played 20 mins in 6 months. What do you expect from him?
I thought he was our best attacking threat on th e first half

Tbf, Brentford are quite difficult to beat at home. They were unbeaten 17 on the bounce before Saturday's loss. If we had played at home tonight, we would probably have lost.

Still haven’t conceded an away goal this season despite pissing them in from all angles at home.

It’s a funny old game.

Thought Tomi did well, got some crucial blocks in

It was all a bit meh 🫤 wasn’t it

Hundreds of little short passes, then back 30 yards to start again

We never seem to attack with any pace, or do cross field balls to launch an attack quickly from the other side of the pitch

We certainly don’t look like scoring loads of goals any time soon against Premier league opposition.

Hey ho, into the next round.

I know havertz has come in for all kinds of criticism & abuse, but tonight Highlighted just how poor he is, I mean the front & midfield players were all Closing down the opposition and he's stood there like a fucking impersonation of Pepe away in fucking La La Land.

Enough is ENOUGH!


Fuck him off NOW!

Yet another Chav Reject we have been stupid enough to actually pay Good Money for.

2nd half was dogshit. We just stopped playing.
Havertz is officially our worst signing of the last 10 years. Absolute waste of space and yet Arteta will play him in the next game because he brought him in and he is desperate for him to do something. :banghead:

Ben 'Pass back' White really pisses me off, fucking every time, stop.... Pass back, every fucking time :evil:

White is so slow to make a decision, puts his foot on the ball for 10 seconds then plays it back
He is even worse when taking throw ins.
He was defensively very slow to react on Sunday when Maddison got past Saka, had he been alert he would have blocked that off.

I like his overlapping runs, and he can on occasion out a decent cross in, but has lots of improvement to make

Do you mean he didn’t attempt to dribble past anyone when he was last man and lose it ?

If so, I agree
