Tons better than us, beating us to most second balls, calm and controlled. DCL not had a sniff. Long afternoon forecast methinks.

I don't think we've been in their half for the first 30 minutes.

They do a great job of blocking the defenders. That goal came earlier than their first at the Emirates

And I thought we’d cleared the danger from the corner leading to the goal.

Late runner into the box, very hard to block the run especially as were so so penned in.

If you want to be picky you can blame Gudds for losing against Maduike, we blamed Tanaka last week, that was the same... But they're just too good and we need to slow it down and get our foot on the ball if we're to have any chance

DCL gets a talking to but avoids the yellow

Playing defensively and into their hands.

Just about protecting the GD now and hope Chelski do us a favour.

Are we playing defensively or are Arsenal good and pushing us back?

DCL might not have had a sniff but he certainly had Gabriel. Shades of Mick Jones.

Aye not winning many send ball is a huge issue currently.

Classics Gruev - passes it back to Guds when he is played on the floor.

In a derby it wouldn't surprise me if West Ham get something at Chelsea.

They've recently beaten QPR and Spurs

Damn! Another one that’s been coming.

Feel DCL’s presence is lost in this one. I’d probably put another midfielder on. Tanaka, perhaps?
