Just me who thought it was a foul on ward then?

Definite foul. One of those that you'd struggle to see without VAR in a split second decision but someone must have had concerns to look at it? Not quite sure how it works there. 

[Beachyboy]

I wanna see Ndidi off and Tielemans on and drop KDH a bit deeper, second change would probably be Daka for Praet, and 3rd change Ricardo for Castagne

I agree. My only concern is that may leave us open but if you’re giving them something to think about at their end, you win the battle.

Liking the meltdown on the half time talk from Ian Wright

More entertaining than the game that's for sure

[BigWesMorgan]

They’re going to score roughly between 50-55 minutes. Lump on

I personally think Wards made a dogs dinner of it and is very fortunate.

Take the DM off for the most unmobile midfielder in the Prem while Arsenal pass it around us? Sounds like a good way to concede

Listening on 5Live. My god, didn't realise BBC was actually owned by Arsenal. Biased or what? When the Arse goal was disallowed, I'm sure both commentators were crying. Commenator2, "Well it was a foul, I can see why it was disallowed, but......" So it was a foul you bloody Muppet!

Agreed but we also need someone he can link up with. Maybe have him as the 10 and Daka as the striker. 

Should be Barnes or Tete, but Arsenal are super organised defensively, so they are struggling to get in behind. Fancy we need to try and feed the wings a bit more.

Oh give him a break! He was being impeded

Ward is crap but he was clearly impeded

[EastAnglianFox]

Printing money if you stick a few quid on an Arsenal 2nd half penalty.

Ah your a half empty glass kinda guy, when we break we lack a quality pass to open it up.

Nacho is kind of isolated up there, without maddison you can see him droping deep to make the work all by himself.

Midfield has done pretty well with defending and pressure but not so much going forward especially with those killer passes on the transition.

[jim5000]

We’ve rode out the pressure and look like we could snatch on. Just put a tenner on us at 6/1 

[fuchsntf]

I would bring on Ricardo at HT for Castagna,try changing Barnes & Tete around

Daka for Nacho, Nacho drops back and Praet goes to Ndidis position..

So Ndidi off..

KDH can't contain Jorginho. Ndidi is our best player so far in this dreadful performance. We need to take control of the midfield, link with forwards and you're suggesting subs that will create a bigger gap between the lines.

26 % possession 😯

You don't want to buy a bridge, by any chance, do you?

 

[Master Fox]

Vardy on for Kels 

[SixtiesFox]

Just spotted Ramsdale in the tunnel. Has he touched the ball yet?
