Got what we deserved

[sirles9]

We deserved nothing from that game - we were pathetic. Caulker, Austin and Green did well but the rest of the team were awful. I expect to lose to Arsenal at the Emirates, but the manner in which we lost was disappointing. My anger towards Traore and Hoilett turned to laughter - they really are useless. We need some pace in the team. The pitches away from home look huge for these players - too many are far too slow

[SussexR]

Can't disagree with any of that.

why go to 5 at the back , what a joke, like you said we will get turned over so at least go out and have a go at them. Worst away record ever in Prem history now

We had nothing in the middle of the park against Arsenal and on that bigger pitch.

My 12 year old turned to me and said "look Dad Charlie and Vargas are closing down more players than the midfielders"

Agree about pace, the pace and fitness levels of the Premier League is unbelievable and we have pace but harry tends to pick too many slow players near each other. Our right today looked ok with isla vargas & mutch playing near each other but you compare that to kranjar, traore (who has pace but is a headless chicken) and caulker with charlie in front of them all. Then add henry and rio in the central positions to the already slow left hand side. No wonder we leaked space, possession and goals down that side.

Isla had a very good game and also Rio done nothing wrong. Troare was a weak link and krancjar and Mutch complete passengers

[QPRWEBBIE]

Defended Far to deep, Armand looked lost, Much looked like he wanted to be at home eating a Boxing Day lunch and toilet, well, I really don't think his up to the premiership

[Ablockhoop]

And hoilett had them worried when he come on. Final ball was iffy tho

Did Mutch play?! I don't think he's completed a pass since he arrived

[lymehoop]

Traore just can't defend and Hoilett struggles to beat a man and cross a ball. Basically, neither fit for purpose

[bushcelt1]

mutch was poor but niko was totally lost out there.

[Rangers77]

Can't pick a team at the moment to be honest. Think against Palace we have to go 442 and play the same team as against WBA with Clint at LB and Isla RB. Anyone who says Traore should play LB needs their head examining.

We didn't go 5 at the back....it was 3 at the back and the 2 wingbacks were pushed back...

[Abseits]

I don't blame any of the players.... it's 'Arry and the coaches. Our whole set up and selection indicated we'd virtually conceded the game and were targeting Sunday game instead.; can't expect players to perform if there's a tacit understanding they should be conserving themselves, taking it easy and keeping plenty in the tank for next game.

[Pie & mash]

Fair play to Rio, put in a shift after a while out

That is 5 at the back tho when you're playing Arsenal away!
