What a day. Brom lose, Ipswich lose. We looked so good in the first half – organised, everybody seemed to know what they were doing, game plan. Second half, Villa rallied – I think we got away with one for their goal, but he did attempt to block Semedo, who would have been marking who crossed...

I'm not sure he'll start Toti. I think he will go with a midfield two of Andre and JRB - maybe R. Gomes at LWB and RAN further forward (or the other way around) - .................................. Sa ............ Doc - Bueno - Agbadou Semedo - Andre - Bellegarde - Gomes ...

Having just watched the highlights of the other premier matches from yesterday, I cannot see anything other than heavy defeats against Liverpool, Bournemouth et al. With the kind of goals other teams are scoring, if I was VP, I would apply blindfolds to all the players and submerge them in a...

Snatched defeat from the jaws of (potential) victory. That’s on VP for me. He needed to make changes around the 65 minute mark, bring Gomes off as it was just a matter of time. Easy to say in hindsight, but how many of us here were thinking the same? He snaps in to tackles and he’s a walking...

Seems harsh, yes he has gone down his shin, but he's trying to stop a counter and it's a yellow for me. But, I'm not complaining.

Confirmed it appears.

Red Card for Arsenal. Be looked at, I guess.

I like Larsen, he'll get better, but he's been terrible for about 5/6 games compared to earlier in the season.

That's a big opportunity for Sarabia...

I know 343 is Vitor's "thing", but I don't see why we can't change it up? 343 - we still concede a shit-tonne of goals. It's all bunkum either way - 442 clears some of the weaker links suc as Doc/Santi/Guedes - I've put Lima on the RW just to run at them and try and swing some crosses in for...

I think Gomes has had a decent game tonight. Larsen - not sure what he's offering, especially as we don't seem to play to his strengths.

Good last 15 minutes from us - scored in Sa time.

Looks like Cuhna going for goal again, keeper drops it and Doc pokes it in, can't see anything wrong with it...yet.

Commentator keeps harping on about how Bournemouth came back from 1-0 down against Chelsea. I take it he's seen us and Bournemouth play this season?

Another chance to put the ball in the box and somehow we manage to turn it into a Chelsea counter-attack. Three players waiting and still we have the reluctance to get a cross in.
