If we had taken our chances we would have easily won today. Sadly we made substitutions again today which made us weaker. Even some of our first 11 aren’t good enough but when you have a bench like ours at 1:0 today we are in trouble. Can you imagine Townsend coming on for us. We had no one like him and we got our comeuppance :-(

Luton will struggle to put a side out the rest of season.They have loads of injury concerns.Think Bournemouth will beat them and we will pick up enough points to survive .We are definitely playing better and on another day would have won convincingly. But certain players don't fit the system and OG will replace them in the summer.

The stats are 21 shots with 4 on target vs 8 shots with 2 on target.You are playing a makeshift Luton team and instead of blowing them out of sight you concede a goal six minutes into injury time.Glasner has a lot of work to do and our patience is sure to be stretched until the end of the campaign.(Just a thought, could Ozoh have been useful today in some capacity?)

Agreed.We will be fine

1) Subbing off Ayew and Wharton cost us dearly. Their ability to hold the ball (and Ayew's ability to draw time-killing fouls) would have made the difference. Hughes was useful when he played regularly, but lately he has been a liability.

2) Why were there 6 minutes of added time in the 2nd half? I don't recall any significant stoppages.

3) Referee was generally balanced, but he overlooked 2-3 fouls in the final minute. He also allowed excessive shirt-pulling (both sides)throughout the match. His foul call on Ayew's scoring chance was absurd, though from his angle it might have appeared "logical."

4) We missed at least 5 easy chances, Luton only 1 or 2.

5) I may be in the minority, but I have no criticism of Mitchell's game. And I think he suits the new position well. For those who marvel that he earned a spot in the England squad, as I recall he was leading the Premier League in number of 1 v 1 wins at the time.

6) Wharton and Munoz were brilliant signings. Well done, all!

7) Although Johnstone is clearly better than Henderson, I doubt Sam would have won any of the games we lost w/ Henderson. But Henderson could have cost us the game today, if he'd been in goal.

Set pieces look much better on both ends. What a relief.

Lazy defending from Eze, sticking a leg out rather than closing Townsend down. May not have got the angle he did on the cross if he had been under pressure from Eze.
