I can't believe I am saying this but I would start Campbell over Benteke on Tuesday

Well that wasn't great, but not quite as bad as many are making out.

Trying to look at it positively, we managed a better result away at Arsenal than Watford did at home against Spurs today.

Let's reserve judgement until the Swansea match, that's the first big acid test for the new manager. They are atrocious right now and we have to take advantage.

Allardyce might think that he has taken on a harder job than he imagined with the strength of the overall squad.

Overrun by a very good premiership team. Expected to lose this one and at least the score was kept down. I don't think we can judge our expected performance in remaining games from this one.

I laughed at Gary Neville's comment regarding Benteke "Jumping would help".

I thought Lee looked good when he came on.... passes well and has some vision unlike half the team. Townsend - I think he plays for himself only, Zaha runs himself into the ground, Benteke....... I hope this is just a bad spell because he doesn't worth his price tag or anywhere near it. Henessey I haven't been a fan of but looked good today keeping in mind the opposition. Erm Cabaye is at least having a go at goal.

Mutch - please sell for whatever pennies when we can get for him, Kelly I hope is replaced in transfer window.

I think we will stay up but they need a kick up the arse in the fighting for the team and giving it their all rather than moaning and not bothering.

As others have said, out classed would sum this game up for me and that Giroud goal was pretty amazing.
