Its not just this match though. Win, lose or draw we have been brutal.

When was the last time we played really well for 90 minutes?

Ollie's 2nd baby was born last night

Quazzie

Monreal looked in pain after that. That'd be just typical to lose him now.

Would've been easier for Diame to get to the ball instead of do the foul.

Great effort Elneny, hard luck

Ah yeah, we are playing rubbish football.

To answer at least one of your questions, I felt like this season we switched from a possession based team to one that set a fairly solid defensive base and hit teams on the break. From memory, we were winning a lot of matches with well under 50% possession.

Not many teams can do a lot against a team that sits back though, unless you score off a set play or have someone like Messi or Aguero.

Thought he had more time to set himself better tbh.

greendom

Nice hit from Elneny

Ospina on translator duty for Gabriel. I wonder if he gets bonus pay for that.

greendom

Gabriel down too feck!

LOL.

Quazzie

And now Gabriel off. This is getting better,

Ramsey on for him.

omega man

Oh ffs seriously

Marcus Antonius

F*ck sake lads no actual CBs left, even though our actual CBs have been piss poor lately tis ridiculous!

Chambers to CB. Flamini to RB and Ramsey CM

On the plus-side when the ball went out I saw someone do the hands above the head thing for a sub and I was worried when I thought it might've been Monreal.

Just as well it's only Hull so

At full-speed I thought Giroud was about to get himself sent off.

I agree I think we could describe us as a counter attacking team, just not a very good one! We are creaky defensively and poor in front of goal. Hull have created more clear cut chances than we have this game.

Walcott embodies every thing that is wrong with the team. Poor decision making and lacking fight

Ol' Donie

What actually happened Gabriel there?

So we've lost 3 centre halves and a keeper in what, a week?

We're really not very good.

mansize

Have Peter Kay and Steve Bruce ever been seen in the one room?
(Would they fit?)

tayto lover

Does this ref only book Arsenal players?

omega man

Giroud!! 2 nil

Drexel

nice goal

Great finish

greendom

Lovely goal. Undeserved but lovely

Marcus Antonius

Lovely ball and finish!

FixitFelix

Nice confidence booster for Giroud

Skylinehead

mansize

2-0 Get in Ollie you baby maker!!!

Soups123

There has to be something wrong with our mid week preparations for cup games it's not the first time this has happened

tayto lover

Good goal. Well taken.

omega man

Didn't someone post a while ago that Ramsey would do his hamstring.....??!!

Is there a poltergeist within the squad at this stage ? :mad: fück sake.

At least the injured players won't be tired.

SantryRed

If it was going to be Arsenal, as a Watford fan, the game really couldn't have gone any better.

Arsenal look frail at the back and that they can get got at. If Watford can find their shooting boots on Sunday, they're in with a chance. Massive if though!
