Butland has been really good today. We should have gone in ahead at half time but for his saves. I do worry a bit about just how much quality we have at centre half.

Another brave save...

Butland has been decent but it's all been at him

Should be 1-1

This whole "any part of the foot being offside" thing. I think it's a bit much. Lacazette had absolutely no advantage there and a lovely goal got chalked off. I know Ozil got away with one in a derby a couple of years ago. It's such a nothing offside...

Well done Stoke.

A poor performance from Arsenal.

Tablet died so I missed the last 5-10 minutes. Very frustrating as just some lacking a little bit the sharpness and a very strong goalkeeping performance kept it even at half time. Welbeck was infuriating today. Not sure why Lacazette went off for Walcott, he was our best attacking player today and really deserved to have that disallowed goal stand. We looked bereft after they went ahead. They only really had one or two clear cut chances to my mind but I was worried in the first half when their winger just ran and ended up nearly getting an assist.

I'm hesitant to get the pitchforks out because on another day we win that comfortably. I'm liking Lacazette, I think he's adapting well, and we *hopefully* will have Alexis for the rest of the season, so the goals will come (just look at last week for that!). We still need to strengthen at the back and in midfield though because a better team will batter us if our defence plays like that.

Can't wait for the day he assists a Lacazette winner so someone can use "BOOM XHAKA LACA" on the back page.

Dat hyperbole :datass:

Obviously missed the games against Chelsea when he bossed the player of the season.

Same old thing of passing it around in front of teams trying for the Hollywood through balls. What is the point in putting Giroud on if we don't put crosses into the box? Has every player been drilled to never try take anyone on? Why sell a promising centre back to play two left backs as a centre back?

It's infuriating and doesn't look like anything is happening in the transfer market other than selling off squad players for ridiculously low sums in the current market.

Still think Ozil is better than Couts? ;)

I just don't rate Xhaka, I don't see him all the time but he seems a terrible passer from what I've seen. Driectky at fault for 2 goals in 2 games already. Which player Chelsea player was player of the Season? hazard? Well Lucas, yes LUCAS bossed him as well.

He was our DM when we beat them at SB and drew at Anfield, or it was Djini, or Hendo, or Can... :datass:

Do you see?

Kante.

Still a mental opinion, especially when you have Milner as a regular in midfield.

*edit* I don't think there is much between them but it will be interesting how Coutinho will fair in the current Liverpool squad with Champions League football.

Matic has been an amazing coup for Manu, he looks strawberry floating amazing at the mo. I watched last weeks match and second half today, he's Jose's perfect player, he wouldn't be as effective under other managers but fits Manu perfectly. Pains me to say it but he's instantly freed up #Pogba and Micky Ryan.

Plays entire season at left back ---> regular in midfield..

Also you don't 'boss' Kante, that's weird dick waving, you try to reduce him winning everything.
