Breathless game. One of the best this season when it comes to entertainment...

I looked at the clock 20minutes... Felt like it was half time there was so much action going on.

Morata us having a mare. His confidence is down. Seeing Torres level stuff from him atm.

They've looked likelier to score but there have been good chances either end.

Morata needs to up his game, Moses needs to do more on his flank.

Morata is the key here, though, for me.

Every bit as sh*t as I expected:

• Arsenal are closing us down much faster than we are closing them
• They are first to every loose ball
• This 3-5-2 formation is just sh*t:
  • When Arsenal attack they have about 5 players driving at the box
  • When we attack it's Morata and Hazard, and if they can't beat 8 defenders, we don't have a shot
  • We have 3 men in midfield, and every single time Arsenal come forward, a simple pass bypasses all 3 of them and Ozil/Sanchez is running at the back 3. It's a f**king shambles.
• Conte sets up so defensively, and we're not even playing well defensively, we're conceding chance after chance, and look like creating vritually nothing going forward.
• Our entire attacking plan seems to be: Courtois to Azpilicueta, Azpilicueta to Moses, hoof it up field and hope for the best
• Morata - Jesus christ man work on your finishing
• Bakayoko - Laughable

 

So sick of being outplayed by these tossers.

Some terrible misses that half.

Bakayoko gives us absolutely nothing. Terrible attacking and he puts no pressure on players when defending (he's not even good as a barrier as he positions himself in the middle of nowhere, not blocking runs or the ball). When Fabregas delivered an amazing ball and he got nowhere near it...

I forgot about that, it really looks so lazy that he didn't want to lift his leg up to control the ball.

So much not happening, l'arse are there for the taking. Must bring on DD, can't see for the life of me why Baka looks so clueless, Moses is totally ineffective  etc. etc.

Pedro must come on NOW not 5min from time.

why are sky even showing that 'pen shout' lol 

If Conte at half time can't see the weaknesss in our centre midfield then maybe he isn't the manager we think he is, quite simple Baka off Drinkwater on, give it 10/15 then fabregas. This game is here for taking

The moment Morata was one on one with the keeper, I knew he wouldn't score. I had the same confidence in Torres.

How I long for Didier now, or dare I say it Diego

The 3 men in midfield are being outdone by their two. If it's meant to give solidity there's been no sign of that.

Ozil is causing us problems we need to becareful.

Hope we do better and are more clinical second half as I feel Arsenal will score

You can't have seen many games this season if you think this is the most entertaining....

Did anyone praise the Moses pass to Morata?!!!

Hell of a half.

incredible how the level of performances differs within the team.

Tbh I was the same, he doesn't look like a lethal finisher to me. If it was a cross into a crowded box I'd be far more confident. That's speaks volumes.

You can criticize Baka all you like but Morata really fluffed his line. These threads are so negative on our players glad I only look at it at half time. Moses is having to work his guts out defensively

kante and hazard have been excellent. Fab has put some great balls in. Courois also excellent.

true but he also made a horrible backpass.

Once Baka has a brain fart it puts everything out of shape.

I seen a fair few of Morata's goals for Real Madrid, and he was excellent at scoring with his feet, i don't know why he's struggling so much with us. He really should go with power every so often, he keeps trying to slide it under the keeper.

The worrying thing with morata is that I wasn't even expecting the net to bulge. He's scored maybe 2 goals this season when through like that, but he's missed about 6 or 7. That's got to be playing on his mind. 

Yes i want to see Drinkwater on in the 2nd half Baka is a passenger, surprised Danny didn't start the way he played at the weekend.

Baka comes out for the 2nd half omfg...

I got slammed for rating Costa above Morata. I'll continue to stand by that.

True. He also needs to curb the falling over
