That was awesome from Luiz. 

No it's instint to feel the slightest of touches and fall over.
Doesn't make it right - hate seeing sh*t like that. Stay on your feet!

IT WASN'T A DIVE. Check the replay.

If the player has to clip their own heels to be able to fall over I'm sorry but it just isn't a pen in my book.

Fabregas cannot run for his life...

Are you at the wind up? 

 

There's cleary contact on Willian's foot to knock it out of stride while he's going at pace which put it on to the back of his own leg.

 

It could have been a penalty and it certainly was NOT a dive.

What?? Bellerin touched Willian's foot.

The problem with our high press is that it leaves us very open if teams can get away with it. I like us doing a high press, but i don't like seeing every player taken out of position when attempting it, it's one pass and the team is running through at our defence.

Fabregas!!!! 

Did anyone see Iwobi turning him and the way he tracked back?

Unbelievable that he is our ONLY CM back up.

Fake news 

Best moments so far have been on the counter. We create little without Hazard and Costa. Love to see Musonda second half at some point. 

One thing I love about our team last season is they always fixed everything after the first half.  Hopefully they'll do the same tonight.

Who is that ref? Reminds me of any guy who goes to the gym too much..

Bobby Madley. Trying to make a name for himself I think.

A lot of sloppy passes here.

Not a very enjoyable first half in all honesty. 

Even contest so far, with not much splitting the two sides.

We already have three yellow cards.

Both our wingbacks having a mare...

It's going to be easier for me to say who has played well rather than who has played poor. 

Cahill and Luiz look fine.  Kante has done the lions share of work in the midfield and stopped lots of attacks.  That's about it 

Pedro has added something to the attack compared to preseason but for my money fabregas is over the hill at this level. 

Very poor half

I think we will see all our 3 substitutions.

Well.. we look pretty much as slow and poor as the FA cup final. Hope this is not signs of things to come.

We have 6 this game

Not impressive half. 

It's clear that when fabregas is in midfield we become liable defensively, we get cut through the middle.

But we have no options at all we need more signings in the middle of the park

Bar the last Arsenal game we have looked poor in the 3 games after that. 

We need to buck our ideas up - sharper passing and movement would instantly solve most of our issues.
