Terrible hot takes
Monreal under the radar poor all game


Kos has lost his edge looked slow and weak, age and injuries caught up with him

Guendouzi as usual all over the place
Shows skills but a general lack of position

Torreira was not his usual self

Iwobi no confidence

Mkith may have scored but is lacking

Auba is just a better Theo we NEED Laca centrally

Lichtsteiner is crazy but atleast our crazy

Xhaka only positive

Koscielny really isn't back yet. Not sure he ever will be, but he had to be thrown in today thanks to all the injuries and suspensions.

But to be honest that whole move of play that led to the last goal started with Özil refusing to even try to stick his foot in when we had a Southampton player surrounded by three of our. If he would have just got his foot in we would not have had the counter against us.
THIS. I said to my gf when he was coming on that in a game like this I would put on Ramsey instead of Özil.

If it is an away game start your physical players. It’s criminal that Ramsey wasn’t there. You need to push and shove a lot in these matches. Without that we won’t win anything. Southampton put in three crosses unchallenged. Don’t blame Leno or Koscielny. We allow too many chances by not running hard enough..

We've not played very well for 5-6 weeks now, apart from the Sp**s and Liverpool games.
We've been poor all season except for the Fulham, Liverpool and Sp**s games. We've conceded a lot of goals and have just been lucky that our strikers have been clinical because we haven't been great with the chance creation.

Good bye top 4... another boring year of Europa League without watching Arsenal on CL...

2 high profile errors by Leno already.

Think we’ll comfortably finish outside the top 4. Players will burn out due to emery’s intensity and the squad is very poor. We always have to grind out results, never win comfortably.

Not a big surprise with this defense.

We wouldn't deal with these crosses, everyone a big danger.
Özil isn't allowed to lose the ball there.

This is what happens when you send out such a negative line up. Just managed to scrape past huddersfield with it but we have been **** today.

These sort of clubs we should be going for it from the start

Yeah spot on, first half ruined this game for us.. Can't expect us to always turn it around in the second half.. I have no idea why we are being so negative against bottom half teams(even at home), I really hope this is not going to be a thing this season..

Our dodgy ground with a dodgy defence and a weird attack. Not a great recipe.
Matching Chelsea and Sp**s’ consistency is going to be tough, we’ve done really well so far to keep pace. Just need to keep going and hope they drop points..

Transitions are difficult. We'd have won that game with Cech in goal, but Leno has won us other points.

We were running out of steam and the defensive situation didn't help.

It's not brought up much as he's top scorer but Aubameyang is profligate.

Also, Koscielny needs to be binned, looked concussed out there.

We could blame Özil for the loss or we could look at how all three of their goals came from the same situtation: a player crossing without pressure to a player unmarked in the box between defenders.
Agree. Stop the opponents ball at the earliest opportunity. Twice we failed and the third goal is all on Leno.

We so, so rarely dominate in games against the smaller teams. It's becoming a real issue.

Still, our back line consisted of a center mid, veteran left back, and a player who hasn't played in months. Struggling in defense is relatively excusable.
