We're always poor in the first half at the moment, lets see how the 2nd goes :rubchin:

They’re trying to get Torreira sent off, Digne the cheating bastard pretending he got caught there. Cech has played well, as much as I slate him it must be soul destroying playing behind that shit defense.

Pretty dire stuff, subdued atmosphere, shit football.

Our midfield is shocking. Week after week. Ramsey, Ozil and Xhaka are like championship players. We will not win games with a midfield like this, the quality is dire. Torreira apart,our midfield needs a complete rebuild. Can’t really see where a goal is coming from (for us). This is the worst I e seen us play for a long time. Very very poor. Need more creativity. Ramsey or Xhaka off at half time for me.

Not surprised by this today but the worrying thing is this is our best possible side.

We are currently miles off even a top 4 place.

Should be behind,Cech has made a couple of very tidy saves.

We should of had a pen but we look very disjointed so far.

We are poor fullstop...we had some moments of genuine quality against Chelsea where we absolutely blew the finish but other than that we have been, by and large, crap. We have conceded goals for fun yet somehow or other eked out victories. If Wenger was still there we would be in the bottom 6....those away games where we scraped a win, we would have probably lost. I think a team like Liverpool, away from home, is going to give us a beating we'll never forget.

Let's chill the hysteria chaps. The toffees are playing well. Credit to Cech he's been our best player. Ozil and Xhaka have picked out a couple of tidy passes but our entire midfield needs to step up a gear. Lacazette looked pub level in that first half.

We'll step up and win 3-1. 8)

Playing Aubameyang on the wing is Wenger level stupidity.

The system doesnt suit us - we need to play lacazette and bangbang together centrally with ozil behind them, and bring in guendozi for ramsey to play a midfield 3

Agree with this. I'd also swap Lacazette and Auby around. It really is a unbalanced side.
