What the f*** is going on?

Trying to play like Barca when it's tighter than a gnat's arse in our half, passing has been absolutely DREADFUL.

Being carved open, if Arsenal turned it on this could be anything.

Passionless in the stands, passionless on the pitch.

Total opposite of last years mentality.

We had two midfielders literally just waiting when all one needed to do was make a run into the space there to offer something.

We're properly hopeless.

If Oxlade-Chamberlain was any good we'd be 5-0 down.

Think Noble must be training the others in how to pass

Fletcher, Lanzini and Masuaku have looked good. That ball Fletcher just put in was very good.

There's so much wrong it's difficult knowing where to start.....

Firstly we're playing a kid up top. He tries to impose himself but ends up making a bunch of fouls. I'm all for playing young talents, but not as a desperate first choice.

Secondly the pitch looks HUGE, and we are no where near getting the advantage for it. We are too slow on our feet and don't cover enough ground.

Thirdly, our defence is a right shambles. We're giving them so much space behind us and infront of the back 3 that it's comical to watch. To make matters worse, we don't seem to take out any depth when the whole world and their mothers can sense a thruball coming.

And this is just my perception, but Nordtveit sitting on the bench talking sh*t with Carroll looks really disruptive to me, and we seem to have a real attitude problem. I obviously don't know this is correct or whatever, but I took it that way.

Lanzini Musauku Obiang Fletcher Randy only people that can come off with their head up. Rest should hang their head in shame. It's 5v11 so no wonder we look terrible.

Payet has about 4 players on him in the centre when he gets it in an advanced position, why aren't others pushing up to allow him an easy pass? There MUST be space?

What an absolute pile of **** that half was. No belief. No ideas. This will probably be a 'damage limitation' exercise in the 2nd half.
