Seems like a continuation of last season all over 

Which was a continuation of the last 6 months of the season before. 

[ARM1968]

Never mind the pen. Arsenal are so far above us it’s frightening. Start of last season they were not as good. Think on that. 

[Bryn]

It's a shame this because we started well, but we're getting absolutely played off the park now.

Was that Vardy's only involvement this game so far

Would have been a penalty if the teams were reversed.

100%, though we never seem to get the rub of the green at Arsenal

[ARTY_FOX]

I'd give alot to see brendan gone. 

[Phenom]

Someone needs to put a strong tackle on these Arsenal forwards. Jesus is complaining because Amartey had the audacity to touch him.

Because we didn't get a pen from VAR? Get a grip. 

Yeah, up to that point I was firmly behind him 😂

I’m going to give Jamie 5.8 for artistic merit…

And 1 for performance

Annoying thing is Arsenal would’ve been given that no questions asked 

Yep. By contrast they spent about 20 minutes spotting a 'clear and obvious' error to give Arsenal a pen against us last season.

When he needs to watch the replay 9 times it’s not a clear and obvious error. 

The thing is I think VAR worked correctly for once in overturning a decision that was wrong. However the threshold for clear and obvious in the premier league is ridiculous to the stage where those ones are never over turned. The general rule is any contact and the decision stands. I don’t get why it was different this time 

[Phenom]

KDH, Ndidi and Youri are MIA

Because it was at the wrong end of the pitch.

They've spent about 200m since then. Hard for us to compete with that. 

[StanSP]

We just have no direction or comfortable passages of play. 

 

Lump it up to Vardy to lose headers against Gabriel or Saliba. Can't get our passing game going because our two main creators get crowded out by their midfield. 

 

Not great at all. 

[EnderbyFox]

Chances of a defender coming off for a forward at half-time?

Well I don’t think we have played badly in so much as we are not making like really bad mistakes I just don’t think we are good enough if that makes sense. We are just low quality…

Lucky not to have conceded four in the first half.

Not sure what would define badly

That must be absolute nonsense...Amarty isn't capable of getting that close to who he's marking!!

And Madders…

 

The whole midfield then!

You forgot maddsion as well 

[kingfox]

Surprise, surprise, the camera goes on Brendan and unsurprisingly he’s clapping.

[reynard]

We won't make many changes because it is pretty clear Brendan doesn't trust most of those on the bench and would like to see them gone in any case.

We are miles behind Arsenal in every department and in every position.
