No pressure on them whatsoever during the 7 minutes of added time. You just know if it was the other way around we'd have been ****ting ourselves.

Overall a poor performance in the second half and it could have gone either way. Not an undeserved win for Chelsea by any means. Poor team selection and substitutions from Arteta.

Same as the Bournemouth game, really. Lots of promising signs (well, in the first half anyway) but still no results. Truly bizarre refereeing didn't help, obviously, but we should've come away with a win here. Can't wait for half this squad to be sold; there's only so much a manager can do until that happens.

**** Arteta. Why play counter in second half when we are just up 1-0. **** you.
We are capable of playing good attacking football in the second half, we would have won, but Arteta chose not to.
 
We need a new midfield badly. Torreira is good at running around after the ball but he has no positional discipline, him ad Guendouzi is a midfield you can tear apart.

Our midfield needs a lot of investment. We can't go the whole season with Guendouzi/Torreira.

What you said about Torrieira is not true at all. You definitely are not watching Arsenal's games. He's been the only guy of recent giving some shape and protection of our back four.

The problem in this game was lack of substitutions and change to our game. We needed Pepe in at 75 mins not 84 mins.

This team needs to avoid relegation. I like what I'm seeing already.

Thought Pepe should have been on about 10 minutes before the first goal. We had no outlet and just invited pressure.

The sooner May comes the better because this is terrible stuff.

New manager coming in should provide some bounce but it looks like it's not going to happen for us at all. Didnt under Freddie. 2 games and one point again with United next who are full of confidence and happy to play counter attacking football.

Started so bright too. Ah well back to normal.

Stupid fracking asshole in black. He didn’t have the balls to sent that idiot off. And Leno disgraceful in the air.

Maybe it's time we stop getting blame on managers and look the players we had we can't go game without making an error it's unbelievable really the players can't stay focused for 90 minutes for once if not mustafi make mistake leno if not Leno Sokratis if not Sokratis luiz. Getting tired really.

He looks like that because of his playing style. Running around a lot making those last ditch and Hollywood tackles, but if you look at our midfield structure he's a weak link.
Spewing your Torreira agenda when he's just played the game of the season. Have you no shame? :facepalm:

Signs of improvement, which is all I care about at this stage, but we really should have won that. Lacazette getting bullied on the touchline by a weak player like Jorginho, then giving away a stupid foul led to the goal, then the wheels fell apart with Mustafi.

Arteta is the right man in my view, but until we get better players we'll continue to be susceptible to this kind of thing.
