Arsenal first to too many balls. Second goal, Podolski was totally free. Fulham players need to react quicker when defending. Stockers did the best he could, pushed it outside the area and nobody there to pressure Podolski, who had a free shot. Very poor but have to say Fulham have not been bad overall. Quite entertaining in a sad way.

I am not writing this game off. Bring Bent, Kaca and Ruiz on for Sidewll, Duff and Kasami.

[KP_FFC]

is Dejagah injured?

[Count Berbatov]

I think we'll see Ruiz on, duff off. Kara on... Not sure who off

[Enter the Frei]

Must remember we are playing three out of our back five that wouldn't be there but for injury.

Said yesterday I would get the old excuses in early.

you've got to be happier that our shot stats are a bit higher than usual at least

[Mhbruce]

I'm getting annoyed we only signed taarabt on loan, he's one of the best on the pitch!

[PokerMatt]

I haven't seen us play so well since early last season. Can't quite believe we're losing it 2-0.

[God The Mechanic]

General delivery has been atrocious. Really quite embarrassing.

[grandad]

For goodness sake get Duff off.

Said yesterday would be pleased if we played well and looked to be going for it. At times and in flashes we have looked ok. Like the fact we are looking dangerous. We haven't wimped out. So not really upset despite the score.

[Count Berbatov]

Need to use Berba more. The quality of some of the rest isn't allowing you to control the ball and game enough

I think we've been decent going forward, just a bit lax at the back and they've been clinical. We'll see how the last 35 minutes go though.

[Mhbruce]

Bents coming on!!

[Mhbruce]

And now kaca

[MikeCdawg]

i'd do a straight swap Ruiz for Berbatov next. He's been quite poor.

[St Eve]

No Ruiz for Sidwell

Berba is still not getting the service from central midfield.

[alexbishop]

Sidwell seems a bit of a wasted player today

[MikeCdawg]

oh no

[alexbishop]

we've gone from looking brighter to absolutely terrible...
