Drogba must be playing with all these long high balls being pumped forward....WTF is going on out there..utter sh*te so far.

Costa looks like his running in quicksand

Don't think this is the best game for Cesc either, at least at this moment when the entire team is playing bad.

Probably bring him on at the 55-60 min mark.

It's the perfect game for him to keep possession for us, instead of giving it away every time he touches it ala Matic.

I'd get Bats on for Costa too. He's terrible.

GET MATIC f**kING OFFFFFFFF

Hopefully he'll take Kante with him

Has Hazard touched the ball yet?

Cesc warming up

Even Kante is having one. Probably time to call it a day on this game

I question the sanity of some posters, I really do!

No changes yet, nerves, complacency yet we will win.

Costa offering zero , he's being out jumped and outpaced, and he can't hold the ball up.

Because he's in midfield himself trying to do 2 players job as Matic is playing like a lazy uninterested imposter 

Kante is running all over the place trying to cover for matic. Fabregas has to start these big games.  He's a level far above matic 

Why the f**k do we tackle them and just stand there?

Bit like United away, a no show against a team that are hell bent on getting a result.

I love Costa for all the goals his given us in the past three years or so but man this guy ruins so many attacks with his sloppy touches.

Some say they rode their luck against Man Cty but today after 25 mnutes it's anything but luck. BBC. What about the handball?

this is terrible

we need cesc and willian to take conrol of this game

You need creativity in the midfield, someone who can play it into feet or long. Someone who can keep possession. Fabregas is his name.

oooof...finally something decent

Bloody hell almost

Arsenal want this more than us...we thought it would be a cake walk...

We seemed to have improved ever so slightly, we're at least getting near the box

Funny we still cant cope with high pressing

What is a Rob Holding and where did it come from?

Finally Costa arrives.
