We are losing and its tipping it down with rain on a cold night. And you think they should all be grinning?

I hope we keep this respectable.

Game over then. Squad depth really working against us as we try to push on.

Uncomfortable game to watch. The way Arsenal are playing it could be 4 or 5-1 if it starts to click. I don't count against us scoring again but we can't handle their through balls today.

Hopefully we can keep it at 2-1 before half time. Arsenal look like scoring with every attack at the moment.

Looks like the commentary team are going to end the game happy at least.

Theo has been pretty awful recently. Redmond on the bench at least.

My favourite player for us right now.

Keown saying it wasn't a booking. Eh? Ings wasted that one.

Open game at both ends. This doesn't really suit us I think!

Defence looking wide open so far. Unsettled due to the changes I think.

Excellent strike. Thumped in!

Penalty for me.

Squad depth is lacking. I assume we just don't have any money to strengthen at them moment.

Armstrong seems a bit lax at the moment. Letting them run past.

We aren't working as hard now. Tiredness perhaps. Advantage Arsenal as they have players who can come on.

Disappointing we've wasted so many good chances at this stage. Arsenal getting closer.

We need to get a grip again. Can't seem to get the ball forward.

It seems a lot of decisions have gone against us today. Fouls not given etc.

And it could get worse if Everton win one of their games in hand. Klopp out!

Hah, hopefully we'll have some of the injured players back...

You think the keeper would save it. But it's the pace that takes them by surprise. Superb strike.

Chauke has grown into the game this half, presumably nerves have settled. Valery just lacking that bit of extra quality at the moment.

Yes, just what he needs

Yes I am more than slightly concerned that some of these lads are on the subs bench in the premier league. Surely we wouldn't risk throwing them on at that level.
