Might be the stopping of the rot you never know.  A point is better than none.

Still 7th after a horrendous run.

[BC Villain]

Relieved for the players.  Annoyed with the manager.

Three points off top four, oh the horror!

Need to find our rhythm again and get some reinforcements in January. Too many of our squad aren’t hitting the heights of last season, but there is plenty of game film to study us now.

In Unai we trust, enjoy your weekends.

Two points at home to Bournemouth and palace doesnt scream like a team thats going to be getting top 6 this season.

Defensively we are a utter and complete mess. Its way too easy to play against at the moment.

One win in 8 is it now? Only chelsea away next 😂

Barkley motm for me

The last 4 we've conceded have been remarkable. It's almost as if we'd worked on it.

[dutchvilla]

Too many players off it, especially Rogers and Tielemans. Jaden is a waste of a sub at the moment, I am afraid. There's a lack of precision, confidence and being ruthless. I know everyone is Emery's responsibility in the end, but I think part of the problem is a lack of leaders on the pitch.

[Somniloquism]

Yep, poor result could have been poorer. Watkins scoring might set him on one of his runs again. But to be scored against from our own corner AGAIN is poor. And we either need to have our defenders deeper, or at least knowing how to keep a line again. For the first, Torres stepped forward with Carlos and Maatsen dropped back which played Sarr onside.

You might want to put your head in the sand and think everything is ok but it isnt.

One win in eight you happy with that? You noticing improvement from last season?

[kippaxvilla2]

Yes if Austin McPhee is getting paid for set pieces then he needs to be put on a performance improvement plan.

Why? I am the opposite. I am annoyed with players under-performing.

[RichardBatchelor]

I love Unai unconditionally and want him to stay forever - obviously - but the last two subs were a mistake and I called it at the time. Rogers and Bailey had had indifferent games but both had had a really good 10 minutes and the team were building up a head of steam. The subs checked our momentum. Philogene, bless him, is hopeless at this level up front (Bayern showed he could make a cracking wing back, his tackling was superb that day) and Emi Buendia through no fault of his own is way off it. Not the situation to ease him back to fitness.

It's like groundhog day trying to watch this team defend. Same old issues, week in, week out.

Same with me mate.

The players are letting unai and the fans down more than the manager.

We certainly didn't deserve any more. Created lots of chances but we were piss weak without the ball.
