The Holte not liking the Holt?

 

Somethin' not quite right there.

This guy really is a poor player. And what is worse is that his team mates know it.

Poor positioning time after time. Needs replacing ASAP.

Anyone else see Bacuna waiting for Gabby to overlap into attacking space, Gabby just stood and looked at him.

This happened a couple of times, Bacuna could see the opportunity but Gabby couldn't.

I think this guy will become a great signing. Can he play in the middle?

Cost two goals, nice crossing though

Cost us the first goal.  Girouds first touch was perfect for the second goal and then he also got a bit of luck with the bounce off his knee and his finish going through Lowtons legs.

 

We seen exactly what Lowton is all about tonight, dodgy defensively but a real asset going forward.

Agree he is an asset going forward. This is why I would prefer Bacuna at right back if we are playing this counter attacking style. He is a much better defender 1v1.

Did nobody hear Paul Faulkner's interview before the game

 

We just need to stick with it the good times are ahead

 

We will all be walking in memphis come the summer

Just back. Did it come across on the TV just how one sided Kevin Enemy made the game _again_? I don't know how he gets away with being so obviously bent.

 

He ended El Ahmadi's competitiveness in midfield after 2 mins with a ridiculous booking. We couldn't tackle them because they'd fall over and get a free-kick, then Mertesacker manhandles Benteke all night and nothing is given.

 

Good performance in the 2nd half. Really feared for the score after the 2nd went in.

 

But if I ever see another long ball up to Benteke again it'll be too soon. I'm a Lambert fan but please, I beg you, stop doing this. It doesn't work against anyone. Just keep the ball and play it around, the players can do it, Benteke is good with it at his feet. Hoof it every time and you just invite whoever has been told to rough Benteke up to put him under pressure and we lose the ball again.

 

edit: Oh and I knew people would be desperate to say that Arsenal sat back and let us have the ball. They really didn't. We penned them in and they couldn't get out. They couldn't do anything but pull people back to defend.

Watched the game on the TV the yellow card was a strange one. It looked like the two players just ran into each other.

Benteke didn't look interested, and I don't think Agbonlahor and Benteke passed a singl ball to each other the whole game!!

The Arsenal players seemed more experienced in influencing the decisions of the referee. Why don't any of our players go and complain to the ref when Benteke gets pushed in the box? Why don't the players complain about the yellow card? We desperately need some leaders out there.

Guzan was on at the ref the whole time. Gave him some right lip. It was great.

Please replace El Ahmadi

Think the people that have watched him extensively would know more than us

Didn't play today but if we let Albrighton go for free and keep the likes of El Ahmadi and Luna, something is wrong.

Fantastic today

Cost two goals, nice crossing though

He is not ready yet

Guzan 6

Lowton defending 3 attacking 8 nice crossing

Luna 3 he really doesn't know what he is doing

Vlaar 10 concrete

Clark 8 solid

El Ahmadi 4 chasing shadows

Delph 5 wasted a lot of possession

Westwood 4 see El Ahmadi

Bacuna 7 did well, strong

Gabby 5 poor game intelligence, put himself about

Benteke 5 didn't look interested until goal

Baker- 4 really bad performance managed to miskick the ball two times before getting injured (he is not good enough)

I have been behind Lambert but Holt/ Hoolahan blimey

Luna is crap

Westwood tries but isn't good enough

El Ahmadi really bad

Baker will never be good enough

All need replacing first

been better since KEA went off. He should never play again.

I'll second that

Bacuna great today

Nobody celebrating with Benteke

Lowton is really poor as a defender

Puts in a nice cross though

Come on

Lowton is really poor as a defender

Delph still on the left deary me

Concrete

What a tackle VLAAR.

Lowton beaten too easily again

Baker actually miskicked the ball two times before his injury.

The commentators in Denmark are talking about how Benteke and Gabby are doing ok as individuals but they haven't passed the ball to each other yet.
