Puncheon has been utterly awful so far. Every time there is even a sniff of a chance of a counter attack for us he puts his foot on the ball turns around and passes back to our CBs. Townsend has been going mental at him for never passing it forward. I agree , there's been a few times where we could break away with a quick pass to Townsend but he just f***s around with the ball taking pointless touches. So frustrating.

absolutely piss poor. seen better sunday leaugue. it really is that bad. arsenal havent even been good. we cant pass, no desire, no tempo, no closing down. its more like a training session, albeit a bad one. i dont expect us to beat arsenal, but i expect a performance.
a rich man is only a poor man with an obscene amount of money |

Some of our players look totally unfit and look as though are running through treacle.I know it's difficult when you haven't got the ball and have to do a lot of running but I do question their fitness levels. Allardyce pointed this out when he first arrived. According to the Grauniad he referenced this in his dossier, as it related to the number of injuries and to our conceding so many late goals.

At least we're still in it but we've got to keep going. Zaha's having one of his trantrum games. Half-way to Africa already? Edited by Selhurstboys (01 Jan 2017 4.51pm) Edited by Selhurstboys (01 Jan 2017 4.52pm)

Need our big players to step up their game. If they could turn up against the bigger teams we could get something. Looked buried against these from the first whistle. Hate rolling over like this. COYP !!!

The worry now is that we are understandably knackered and so Arsenal could have a field day in the second half.
AP screwed the whole fitness stuff up so many times you could see the players fitness was not great under him but he time and time again kept trying to force things on the players even when the clubs doctor stated no.

Look we are playing one of the best footballing teams in the country on their own ground, I've seen them pass much better teams than us to death. However they do tend to want to walk the ball into the net which is their one big weakness. It gives us a chance, slim but who knows. Edited by PZ Eagle (01 Jan 2017 4.53pm)
