Good to see Marshall .

Nuno cooking with ice.

MIAHammer

Maybe Nuno got confused. He said let’s get Callum on.

Penalty Arsenal

Penalty to Arsenal

buffybegood

Contact outside surely.

alderz

That’s surely outside the box

MrsGrey

That's outside the box.

MrsGrey

Timber bunny hops over the line and goes down. That's annoying.

alderz

I’m sorry but that’s an awful decision. He fouled him, but it wasn’t obviously outside the box, and the guy just fell into it

steve

That's that then

buffybegood

It's a shocking decision, the contact was outside, it's not like a pull that started outside the box and continued into it, he just fell against Diouf into the box.

Giant_Hammer

They’re saying outside the box on bbc but hey it could’ve been in the Centre circle and the Arsenal darlings would’ve been given the pen.

alderz

Paqueta consistently makes awful decisions

thornburyiron

Would be nice if we could at least have a shot.

Surprised old lego head wasn't there to help roll him into the box

Expat_Hammer

A pro footballer who can't even get a throw in right 🤬

Paqueta with a foul throw

Including how to take a throw in.

KWP on for AWB.

Arsenal's nonstop niggling fouls - trips, shoves, shirt pulls - go unpunished.

Yeoldhammer

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Typical reffing performance for one of the Sky 6.

buffybegood

Marshall shoulda done better with the header.

MIAHammer

Big difference between Summerville and Paqueta when receiving the ball. Summerville tries to quickly drive forward. Paqueta tending to hold up the play.

thornburyiron

Never laid a finger on them really, so easy for them.

Pengeman

Good effort but we still lost. Offered nothing in the attacking third and no shots on Arsenal goal. Diouf and Summerville were muzzled. Paqueta giving away niggling fouls and no creativity. The front players had no service. The defence looked a little more resilient.

Lukerz

Yep, can’t have expected much but just shows you the level of our side, you look at that starting 11 (plus 3 subs) & it could easily be a Championship fixture.

Giant_Hammer

Well I thought to myself I wasn’t expecting anything less than 5. So to lose by 2 (one I think a dodgy pen) Im still gutted but it could’ve been a lot worse. International break now, time to improve things…………….I hope.

alderz

Yeah you expect to lose to a title challenger. When we’ve been in the form we have and when we’re still only a week into the managers reign, I think it was just one to get out of the way. Now the work properly starts I guess.
