I think with Hart being removed from the Manchester City team was a very big blow to his confidence from which he is yet to recover. I don’t think we should sign him.

And wouldn’t have played him today he’s not available for the city game so Adrian should have started but feel Moyes his being pulled by the emotion of giving him a chance for World Cup god help us glad I don’t follow England much now

Good chances for Arnie.

SuzanneClaret

Pity he doesn’t have a striker up their with him.

Jorderz_Moyes_will_be_Moyes

Lee Mason is such an embarrassingly poor referee.

Adam

Substitutions will be key. It’s a hot day and we’ll have run around a lot. With our attacking players on the bench, I expect changes to be made before the 60th minute.

Jorderz_Moyes_will_be_Moyes

How Mario continues to keep Lanzini out the team is absolutely bewildering.

SuzanneClaret

Totally agree, it’s so frustrating.

OutcastLondoner

Arnautovic gets some space and running up to support him...Joao Mario and Fernandes.

Lanzini, Hernandez and Carroll on the bench.

I really hope this is the last time we see this line up.

Was the free kick a save by hart or did he save it trying to protect his Barnet

Thought Mario did all right that half, tbh.

A decent first half from us. Prepared to attack without going silly, and limiting Arsenal to very few genuine chances.

Grey ;ok
Same thoughts, coyi

Joe Hart has to stop hoofing the ball up cos we just keeping giving it back to Arsenal. Arnie is losing the heading battle and he's starting to lose his rag

Jorderz_Moyes_will_be_Moyes

Aslef,

In fairness, our best chances came from long balls from Hart and Cresswell, with Arnie getting in behind.

Mario wasted the chance any time we had the ball at feet in their half.

Hope we see Lanzini really soon, but Moyes usually leaves it until 70-75 minutes before making a change...

Jorderz_Moyes_will_be_Moyes

Second time Mario has completely wasted a corner.

Jorderz_Moyes_will_be_Moyes

And that's probably game over.

Lukerz

Game is there to be won if we had a braver mentality. As it is, defeat is now certain.

alderz

I’m so frustrated at the lack of support to Arnie I can’t imagine how he’s feeling. We absolutely need to get Lanzini and Hernandez on for Fernandes and Mario

alderz

And Masuaku on the post was pathetic by the way

buffybegood

Lanzini and Hernandez on for Joao Mario and Fernandes

buffybegood

Good chance for Hernandez immediately, from a Lanzini free kick, but he heads over.

Jorderz_Moyes_will_be_Moyes

Alan Smith thinks the Arsenal player was unfortunate to get a yellow for going in studs up on Noble's shin.

Clown.

buffybegood

Get in

Jorderz_Moyes_will_be_Moyes

What a goal!

alderz

As soon as we get some players on to support Arnie we have been dangerous. This is why Moyes needs to be braver from the start.

OutcastLondoner

Oh look. Some attacking players on the pitch and we scored.
