Arsenal 2-1 Fulham Sat 27 Aug, 17:30pm

People put too much emphasis on fullbacks passing the ball.

A FBs #1 responsibility should be defending.   I will always believe this.  Mbabu isn't a better defender than Tete.

[Caedal]

We need a huge week in the transfer window. 5 or 6 signings needed.

1 starting CM,
2 starting wingers
1 backup striker
1 backup/starting LB

That should be our foul, Bobby wins the ball and Gabriel had no chance to get to it.

If that challenge on the keeper is in the other box it's disallowed

Leno came for it and didn't get it. No foul at all.

[Andyb]

We have played well, just unlucky two fluke goals

[Caedal]

Alan Smith has been insufferable

[SanFranFulhamfan]

Nuts they didn't call it a handball

[cookieg]

Alan Smith has been insufferable

He's an ex gooner. What do you expect?

[ron]

Alan Smith has been insufferable

I should have muted the sound all through. What a wind up he is.

[cookieg]

Bloody Chalobah making that foul absolute tw4t.

[itombomb]

So stupid from Chalobah.

[Caedal]

Chalobah....

[Caedal]

Silva lost us that game with those stupid subs

[DevonFFC]

Lack of bench cost us dearly, TK you best hurry up

[ChesterTheTabby]

The changes were the problem. Too early, too negative. Diop looks so out of his depth, and Mbabu smoked by Martinelli every time. All in all, we played well, and we should still take pride in that game.

[Pluto]

Diop is useless. What a waste of £15m

[e4b]

We may have lost but so proud of the lads today.

[AnOldBrownie]

Well...we still look like we're a better side than Bournemouth, Everton and Leicester.

[jayffc]

Mbabu for Tete was the biggest mistake...those jumping on Diop need to relax , seems an eagerness to write him off.

Mbabu got mullered after Tete had the right locked all game ...not like us to sit back and we paid the price

At least we're still competing and a good end to the window and we look very capable at this level...

And then after Christmas Wilson and Solomon return and it's game on!

[YankeeJim]

The lads just played their hearts out against a team that probably none of our guys could start for and still, the whining starts.
This match makes me believe we'll stay up.
