Not bad considering what we faced, don’t get the Benteke haters, if we were dominating possession and he was missing loads of chances, but we ain’t and he isn’t. It would be like Man City fans saying their keeper is s*** because he makes no saves!
We will be fine regards relegation, showed lots of character to stay in the game when outclassed by a top four team.

Agreed.......perhaps that goal at the end will give the team a lift for the city game.

Ref was awful....another...I’m on TV look at me!

Shame, fancied getting something out of the game today. We were totally bossed in midfield tonight, particularly in the 1st. half and never pressured them enough, hence they ran through us too easily. By trying to stuff the middle of the pitch we gave them too much space on the flanks and they took full advantage. Gave them way too much respect!

"Billy Gilbert really is God"

Why? If it wasn’t for that prat we would be watching championship football tonight. Tell me why he was so poor and why he warrants singling out?

Yes....but have admit at times the Arsenal passing in the middle was a different class. There on touch play is so effective and difficult to read.

Sorry, was he actually playing?

He made so little effort. So the ball isn't coming onto his head from crosses. OK, so he should be coming back looking for the ball, tracking back when we lose it upfield, trying to get into positions where he can receive it in the air or on the ground, and being an extra man further downfield. Did actually start to play from about the 75th minute but until then frankly we might as well have had Campbell, at least he worked his arse off.
