Not having that missing striker bollocks a fucking fullback would’ve scored that.
A fullback wouldn’t have got in that position to score.

The fucking shit that was available in January probably wouldn’t have either.

Quite, at least Antonio now has a couple of weeks to practice his two inch tap ins.

I would have taken a tense 1-0 win. Would have been a superb result.

At least the 'real fans' got what they wanted today apparently :lol: .

Depends if you watch football to be entertained. Although I hated the way we crumbled, as a football contest I thought it was a great watch. We could have walked away 5-2 winners, equally Arsenal could have done us 4-3.

If Antonio could score from three inches he would have more goals under his belt
Have to get his willy on it next time

The team was exactly as I would have put out, but Benrahma is beginning to run out of time to convince. We were open as a hookers legs down the left with him there and made Holding look like Cafu according to Carragher and as a result Cress was exposed and unable to get forward. Never happens with Fornals there.

Poor subs from Moyes, Noble for Bowen was wrong, lack of bench is a problem, but the left side was clearly the problem and Bowen was the only attacker tracking back. Id have brought Fredericks on, but for Benrahma and moved Bowen to the left, then replace him with Johnson if necessary.

Diop is poor and we desperately need Oggy back, hope Dawson is not losing his mojo and going back to the Watford version just as he plays the amount of games where we have to sign him.

Ands whats the point of having Odubeko on the bench...

Worrying to collapse like the old West Ham, the ref was poor but there are no excuses for losing a 3 goal lead ever.

Oh the high and mighty H69 speaks again.

Who on here has claimed to be a real fan or indeed accused others of not being real fans due to style of play?

The issue here is that we played well on the front foot, playing good entertaining football. Then inexplicably we sit back letting the opposition back in the game. Leeds game we got away with it today we didn’t.

Keep on going the way we were, we could of got a 4th or fifth in that first half they were totally on the ropes. Go for the throat!

What I notice every match we played, I do always feel other teams has more players than us as when we are defending, 8 to 9 players from other teams start roaming in our area like Leeds, Man Utd and Arsenal and keeping us on backfoot for long period and everytime we got the ball, 3 to 4 players from other teams closed one of our player down quickly.

We need to be more brave than this.
