BlueRayDick:
If we had another player who would assist Partey in the middle, I would've wished Odegaard was taken off in the 70th minute for Viera.

Also, Martinelli had much of the ball today and didn't make much of it. We should've a good deputy for him also on days like this

iamoyindamola:

Dubbery but arteta won't risk it
I was saying it last match that martinelli was playing rubbish
As for odegaard he play when he want to

iamoyindamola:
It's official
All the clubs have failed to score in a match

Newcastle did this

kokaneprodigy:
If una like make una no sign players in January. Ndi Nketiah will stand in for Jesus. We needed a win but could only make 1 sub and it was a defender.

BlueRayDick:
So the ref casually dismissed the penalty appeal for that Rugby tackle on Gabriel in the box and VAR also didn't call his attention to it even if he had missed it in the heat of the action?

iamoyindamola:

Penalties against soton
None given


Penalties against Newcastle
None given


We scored legit goal against scummies
It was ruled out

The referees and var are all against us

BlueRayDick:


The painful part of this penalty appeal is that ; it's the same situation VAR awarded penalty in the match between Nigeria and Croatia in 2018.

We just need 4cking consistency!

Roland17:


We missed Jesus’ selflessness and versatility from the CF position today.

kokaneprodigy:

The fact we lacked options in attack to change the dynamics of the game was embarrassing to watch. We played the same team from midfield to attack for fûckin 90 mins, trying to do the same thing.

Na those scummies cause this nonsense

iamoyindamola:

Abeg they should look elsewhere
Edu should not be unfortunate,we are done with them

Bros i never see where them reject the second bid oo
I saw srna coming to london

germaphobe:
only marquinhos and vierra were the notable forwards on the bench, and the fact that those in the field of play are much more better than them makes it even hard for you to sub them in. with the way that martinelli was off althrough the match, if we had another good winger he wouldn't have finished the match.

Jodera:
I'll say we miss Esr in that game to bench Martinelli in attack.

Hopefully next match he'll be on the bench

Roland17:


Honestly, Martinelli fall my hand yesterday and not forgetting the game against West ham. We need ESR back to full fitness so he can push Martinelli and provide some competition on that LW. Yesterday, his play reminded me of Pepe. He complicated very simple things and played himself and the team out of dangerous attacking situations.

Overall, the mentality of the team shifted after the 20th minute as they allowed Newcastle's antics get to them. I thought the tactics employed by Arteta was great, I mean we started and finished the game strongly but we just lost focus.

Newcastle's plan was very simple; be physical, disrupt our offensive rhythm and get them flustered/ frustrated and it worked. I expected the experienced heads like Xhaka/ Partey to get the team to refocus and not get distracted by this but Xhaka went ahead and got a yellow sef

iamoyindamola:

iamoyindamola:
