At least we know we can rattle them - no option now but to just go for it in the second half. I'm predicting at least one red for us though - Taylor will snuff out any chance of an unlikely comeback at the first opportunity.



 

 

 

The only hope is we get an early goal and one of theirs sent off, then it might be game on. In the context of this game, anything is possible. 

[twoleftfeet]

Odds on Alvarez getting sent off.

[F 129 Row66]

Too easy for the Arses Time to put our Basque in the exit

[Ron Eff]

Clearly this is horrific. But a couple of comments.

The subtle cheating on every corner is astoundingly overlooked. Paqueta us nudged in the back by Timber on every single one of them. If you’ve played the game, you know a nudge in your back on your jump takes you our of the game. It’s Tony Pulis style football. 

If that second one is a penalty, we might as well tell keepers they now have to stay on their line. It was a graze if anything at all. That wanker Taylor didn’t even see it. Gave it to the acting from Gabriel alone, which is appalling from one of our so called best refs. 

[threesixty]

As long as we show some fight and some skill I don’t really care what happens here tbh. We take some of this attacking form Leicester etc and we will destroy them. 

I think not having Loppy on the touchline has hurt us defensively as someone needs to tell Antonio not to mark Gabrielle or change the marking system at corners. Maybe that’s not coming across. 

The aim here is to not get anymore yellows. The game isn’t winnable / drawable so we have to think about the next games.

got to think about subbing Emerson and Summerville sadly. 
They are bound to target them. 
 

[Keep dreaming]

Goal 1
Free kick against Paqueta 

Goal 2
Great play

Goal 3
Pen

Goal 4
Paqueta missing the ball easily in the middle with most people going forward 

Goal 5
Superb pass from Solver

Goal 6
What a freekick from Emerson
But Paqueta should not have had that freekick...

Goal 7
Stupid error by Fabianski, but super soft by Taylor.

Ref is all over the place, just as Paqueta. Cunts both of them

[Sir Alf]

Some of us did suggest in a lot of games that Alvarez will be ahead of Soucek.  Paqueta has gone back to thinking he's a dandy and been responsible for 2 goals.

The ref killed the game off as a spectacle. Very harsh. 

Back to where we were before Newcastle.  We need legs in central midfield desperately. 

[lowlife]

We've taken too long to waken up, but Taylor is a fucking shocking ref. Set the scene when we should have had a corner in the first few minutes (Bowen could have kept it in but let it run out) and he decides to give a goal kick.

Minimal contact on Saka for the first penalty, dodgy second penalty imo, and awful defending for the Havertz goal.

At least we know we can rattle them - no option now but to just go for it in the second half. I'm predicting at least one red for us though - Taylor will snuff out any chance of an unlikely comeback at the first opportunity.

Never enjoy watching a game that he refs - I've worked with people like him who think they are right about everything. cսnt.

[ragingbull]

Absolute sickner so for.

[nychammer]

the first pen was the softest, was there enough contact? - technically it can be and was given, with VAR not overruling the on field decision - but soft. Thought they were raising the standards for awarding pens. 

[Fauxstralian]

Arsenal have better player & don’t need to bring their own ref
But Taylor is an appalling cheat 
Disgraceful 

[Keep dreaming]

If I was the manager, Paqueta and Soucek would have had bruises after the dressing room talk. Would never ever started 2nd half 

[Gaffer58]

Did Fab actually make contact with his head,or is Taylor ensuring Arsenal are still in the chasers, the way we’re playing they don’t need any help.

[Sir Alf]

2 pens and a shocker from Kilman who looked as old as me

[COOL HAND LUKE]

Nothing changes... Arsenal are quite prepared to dive, lie and cheat to get the result.

We can all see that was never a penalty, Taylor has just reacted to the Arsenal whinging...

He can't fkg WAIT to give them any advantage... can't have us staging a comeback, after all.

Thank fk I'm not ST now - game is rigged to Hell and back.

 

[Sir Alf]

Defensively naivety in the extreme.  That last pen was very harsh but its Antony Taylor.  Whats Fab meant to do just watch?
 

[Pub Bigot]

Shite in a bucket. 

[cholo]

Load of old cսnt. Taylor was running back up the field, noticed Gabrielle on the floor squealing and run back to give the penalty in the most low key way ever.

[nychammer]

Big clubs get penalties. Fact

 

 

he went for the ball and missed it, same happens when you kick

[Jaan Kenbrovin]

This is as bad as it gets.

Proving Lopetegui needs to go immediately. 

[threesixty]

Not really fabs fault. The fact that there was no West Ham player challenging Gabriel says it all. They work those corners so well that the guy has a free header. At least fab has a go. Areola would have just stood there. 

[Keep dreaming]

Paqueta 
Soucek
Antonio 

Fucking useless wankers.

4 of these goals were easily handed to them. Cunts

[nychammer]

Any PL team shipping 5 against by half time is an an out of control clown car. Monday is long in the rear view mirror, this could be a very damaging result, the manner of it specifically.

[twoleftfeet]

Big clubs get penalties. Fact

[goose]

We need a new keeper in the summer.
Players reaction got that penalty, ref wasn’t interested until the screaming started.
