I don't think he should have took Trey off I thought he was breaking play up well. We 100% need a ball winner in midfield in January.. if we had that today we would have won.

We supposedly have one in Gravenberch but most of the time he's not ar$ed to put in a shift.

I thought we played well against a very strong defense, maybe this came a little early in the season as they are ahead of us in confidence. We made one little mistake and they made us pay for it and then parked the bus, hard to score with so many players in the box, we needed that penalty. Disappointed to lose but we are certainly becoming a proper team. I thought we matched them physically and were the better team and unlucky to lose.

It’s a disappointing result, because Arsenal were there for the taking.

But you can’t argue that we’re progressing and a decent left back and central midfielder could work wonders.

Too early to write off Barcola, but I’m struggling to see where the money has gone.

I also question if Wirtz and Szob can play in the same team.

I really like Jacquet and Munoz though.

Disappointing not to have a shot on target in the whole game at home.

After they scored, it was all us until the end of the half and thought it would be aa matter of time we scored.

Wirtz unlucky from the free kick, Isak should have had a pen for the tug on his shirt and Mac Allister should have ar least hit the target with his header if not score.

Similar to the City game the result feels like a right kick in the nuts but there was a lot to like, for instance i'm loving how aggressive our press was, our CB's were pushed so far up the pitch they were practically playing as 10's at one point, we are not that far away

I'm not sure i get the hate for Barcola. He's lightening quick and a real threat going forward. I think Araujo has been outstanding at RB and really highlighted how pure Kerkez is at LB. Its clear as day where we are lacking and thats a proper no6 and also a Competent left back. If we fix this then we'll definitely be challenging for the title.

Gutted we lost, minimum we deserved a draw. Thought we played very good at times, shooting was bit off hence when we didn't get a shot on target. Once they scored I knew they'd shut shop and defend, and we know how good they are at that.

Anyhow, lads must keep chin up we are going in the right direction. I think goal this season UCL qualification and aim to stay close to Arsenal, single digit margin would be ideal.
With City to be docked I think them fekers are going to retain it.
