I like this shape and that first half could have been ours and Arsenal trying to get back into the game. Some good performances tonight.

Yeah, Stevie Wonder thought we played well as well.

I agree boingy..... Sanchez , Lacazette , Koscielny , Monreal all had good games .

Boingy...could have........???
So far after 6 games...I see one major reoccurring problem.......We don't take gilt edge chances.....you can have all the shape you want....we looked good against City as well but did not take chances......and make no mistake...we have created chances unlike a lot of games last year...but terrible finishing in front of goal.....
Not good...

absoloutley abject rubbish second half performance aided by a p1sspoor homie ref

[soulman101]

12th man aresenal beat the Albion. Game changed by a crap or dodgy ref.

[TipperaryBaggie]

Spot on 53. Only Gibbs comes out with any credit

Fair play to you guys for actually suffering this dross.

I no longer bother even tuning in when we play a big team away because,

1/ We won't score

2/ Ref will be a homo.....sorry "homer"

3/ If by some miracle we are drawing with a couple of minutes to go we'll give away a soft goal or a dubious penalty will be given against us.

Two seasons ago we were actually competitive against the big teams away but that's all now gone.

This Pulis vintage is actually worse than his side of two seasons ago and indeed,it's worse than last years in terms of goal scoring.

I think the ice is starting to thin for this "one trick pony".

We actually stink out the Premier League with the paucity of our football,we are a blot,a carbuncle of a side due to our manager.

People must turn off in droves when they know we are on,we are actually a bad advert for the division.

I'm starting to think that other teams who try to play actually deserve our Prem spot,we certainly wouldn't be missed.

I'm trying to look at it from an unbiased point of view but I still come to the conclusion that, despite missing opportunities, when an absolute stonewall penalty is turned down it makes it very difficult. To add insult to injury, their first goal resulted from a dubious free kick and their penalty far, far less obvious than the one we had turned down. Yes, we missed chances but an opening goal for us would have made a big difference. Poor refereeing! By the way, a very honest and refreshing interview from Jay Rodrigues.

Normally i'd agree with you but first half we were ok.
God knows what he said to them second half though.
Massive game at the weekend.
