This is one disjointed performance. We should be at least playing with some intensity - zipping the ball around, exposing the Sutton players for their lack of experience and fitness compared to Arsenal.

Very poor. Should be running this crowd off their feet.

The hand brake is a little bit on I guess.

An absolute yawnfest. Terrible stuff

Rubbish from Ospina and exactly why I don't think he is anywhere near our first choice keeper

Reminded me of Chelsea's 3rd against us a couple of weeks ago

Sutton have started to look tired, a great chance to put them to the sword second half as Arsenals superior fitness and ability will make it very comfortable in the second half.

Bailey guzzling a red bull in the changing room

Walcott as captain is everything that is wrong with the club

Roddy23

Perez looks the only attacker arsed to win the ball back. His quality obviously shines through, real head scratcher why he's not starting in the league especially when Wally seems to be ahead in the pecking order.

Kieron Gibbs as capt vs Bayern is as bad as it get imo although i wouldnt leave Walcott anywhere near the captaincy

Theo is pants alright should ship him out and take that idiot Gabriel with him

keano_afc

Interesting that despite the opposition and the starting XI, that general malaise and can't-be-arsed attitude is still on show.

gandalf

Feck it I got home with enough time to watch the second half. Masochism time!

Ol' Donie

F*ckin Elneny gone off.

F*ck sake.

KaiserGunner

The Ox on for El Neny, hopefully it's not a bad injury for him.

I think the playing surface makes that difficult

Explain how - we train on a similar pitch at Colney. Also it's astro turf so it's meant to enhance on the ground play. Blaming the pitch is a good one though.

Yeah it is.

Could be hairline or even something in his knee after that impact.

gandalf

Same old same old I see!

They rarely train on it as it has a higher risk of injury. The ball moves faster on the 3D pitch.

BBC waxing lyrical about Ox, I think this is more his level than FCB

Jaysus this is desperate sh1te.

Well done Theo

11 years and 1 month to reach the century and this was the man marked as Henry's long term replacement. :rolleyes:

mansize

2-0 time to switch to cruise control

wandatowell

The flood gates should open now.

Seriously. Why use it as an opportunity to have a dig? It's pathetic.

gandalf

Feck as usual we try and make it interesting by nearly letting them in immediately after scoring the second!

mansize

Fell asleep and woke at end of first half. No training and 2nd half in bed lol

greendom

Lovely cross Sutton getting closer

sonic85

Arsenal are making Sutton look like a decent Premier League side here

gandalf

Our play is so disjointed especially in the final third.

I like Perez's style. Get to the byeline and get a ball across goal. It's basics like that we should be doing way more often.

sonic85

Lucas has been our best player by far but overall it's been a terrible performance

gandalf

Fair play to Sutton they are playing really well with a lot of heart.

KaiserGunner

Some strike by Deacon, really unlucky by him.

gitzy16v

Sutton getting way too much possession,we need to be better than this.

greendom

Ox did so well there until the cross

sonic85

Totally forgot Reine Adeleide was playing - has he done anything in this game?

Bobby Baccala

I find myself thinking that almost every time he puts a ball into the box.

He's played well. Ex Arsenal I think.

Quazzie

For anyone that ever claims Ospina is our best keeper please have a look at this game.

tayto lover

We have to have the worst defenders in the air in the EPL.
Even these lads are winning all the high balls.

None of our keepers inspire me tbf. We need to invest.

sonic85

Ospina was a bit lucky there yer man totally missed the ball - if he connected with it Ospina was all at sea. Punch looked spectacular though!

tayto lover

I wouldn't be putting Sanchez on with the game won.

omega man

Sanchez must have a contractual clause that allows him to play when he wants ffs!

1. That link doesn't work.

2. It's the 77th minute.

What an average bunch of players this lot is. I know Wenger built this team but I really fear for our club when the boss leaves.

sonic85

Sanchez should rip this crowd a new one if he gets decent ball. The crowd - "Give it to Sanchez!"
