It's not great at all but you'd think we'd been relegated and disgraced ourselves the way people react. Well, we have just gone into the second half one up against ten men, only to repeat the mistake we last made six days ago, and get beaten 3-2 when the correct subs to be made could by spotted by a one eyed man on a galloping horse.It's not humiliation, no, but it is incredibly frustrating, and it's hardly surprising people are reacting angrily half an hour after it's finished, is it?We got into that position to then lose it. We didn't do a Watford.Of course it's frustrating but don't start questioning him already. Please.

Chill, people. 32 games to go. Next 3 are eminently winnable. We go again, you bunch of sugarbags.
I'm really starting to like the look of Nakamba. Sits in there and does a lot of the dirty work.
Corralling my thoughts walking back up the Holloway Road.The first is the bad; the naivety that was the last 20 minutes. For me we needed to sacrifice the wide options quicker and bring in more central midfielders to try and stop them running through us.Having a man advantage is fine, unless you're sacrificing territory and possession in which case it makes no difference.All three goals were very poor. Engles in the build up to giving the free kick away for the 3rd, Mings no clearing his lines for the 2nd and just letting their player drive through us for the 1st. All very avoidable.We've thrown it away, all 3 points. But, I also felt we played well for good chunks. We looked threatening, probably should have scored more. Grealish needs to get on the ball and drive more, as when he did, he cut them to ribbons. There's plenty there, but I feel our naivety is working against us at the moment. I didnt expect anything here today, but I leave, hugely irritated that we didnt win.
Jack Grealish made that second goal however he needed to do a lot more against 10 players and look to deliver . That was a match where he needed to stepup to control things instead we invited too much pressure and Guendouzi.Guendouzi is a different level of midfielder to what we have.We needed a midfielder like that to run the game and be on the ball.Trezeguet looks so weak and offering very little. Look at how Guendouzi shrugged him off.Hardly any link up with Gilbert.Guilbert does well but is another Hutton with his crossing and lack of want to get to byline. I think Marvellous Nakamba needed to come off sooner. Douglas Luiz was needed at the right time or even Hourihane Villa were playing far too open.Far too easy letting Arsenal on to us inviting pressure and then were held back by the lack of ability of attacking players and midfielders holding the ball . Mings was shocking with his header to Taylor trying to go calm and play a short header to team mate in area asked for trouble . That was an individual error.As was the 3rd with Nakamba who should have been subbed passing back loosely Really annoying to lose that and should not have done Well done to Wesley, took his goal well,and showed bits and pieces but not enough against the 10. ElGhazi was good enough in parts but Trezeguet deserved to be subbed but not for Elmo.I said before don't see a win till October 19th but was pleasantly surprised in the lead at 1-0 and that when Maitland Niles is 2nd yellow did think that we would win and great character again at 1-1 to instant get ahead .That's where failed at 2-1 . To go on and keep goal threat.Watching I felt the nevitable even against 10 that Arsenal would find a way Didn't offer enough in attack and that was annoying.And didn't look to change to make anything solid in midfield.I don't know what other people are saying about Dean's tactics as they are not explaining anything but I certainly saw a far too open side and a side that then showed little intent to attack and wilted.
Guendouzi is a different level of midfielder to what we have.
Again we look worse when we have an extra man. That fucking about with short passes in our own box was at the heart of Mings' assist for Chambers equaliser and really disappointing to concede from that free-kick where we let Arsenal bully our wall. Naive stuff that doesn't bode well.
