Ayling should be shot. You just don't know what can happen with 11 on the pitch. Unforgivable. We would of lost anyway, but...
Hard to imagine us getting another point tbh.

He never fitted the squad.

A squad that is heavy on wingers but lacking midfielders when Marsch plays a narrow formation, it made no sense.

Was never convinced by Jesse however whose style has only ever worked in a league where he was effectively managing Man City/PSG

He's managing scared with the key aim not to lose or concede too many and see where we are with 15 minutes left... Heckingbottom is better than this as was the awful TC...

Yeah it's not looking good. Unfortunately both Everton and Burnley are pulling off unexpected results.

Even when Bert had his key players out and had to play the gash at least we looked a threat in attack and created.....who's in goal for Arsenal i haven't seen him?

I'm guessing the Marsch truthers would hold up a 2-0 defeat as a great result if it stays this way...

Kalvin’s fault for the second
He didn’t track Eddie.
As I’m writing this, they have mentioned it in the studio too 🤦‍♀️
Koch has done ok but that’s it.

Game over, even I am starting to have doubts about Marsch, but this is ALL on the Three Stooges for their incocmpetence. Bigmouth ORta, Snidy Radz and Clueless Hypocrit Kinnear. Bielsa is still responsible too...

Forget Everton - it was always us or Burnley. They are struggling too and will struggle for points in their last 3 games. Whoever wins a game stays up.

Front players need service, hoofball ain't it .... Jesse needs so quick thinking and one of those awful HT team talks he seems to be famous for ....

It was Raphinia’s shite challenge that caused the 2nd goal.

They say you have to take a step backwards before going forwards but this club may well need to go down to league 1 again before finding their level. It will be a miracle if these stay up but I'm not sure it's the best that can happen. They are way out of their depth in this league and a couple of signings won't make any difference.

What chance has any coach got when his players make braindead decisions creating their own downfall on the pitch.

Meslier gormless error, pass from Ayling not great.

Who was marking Nketiah as he was falling over to score their second goal?

Then your leader commits a unnecessary ridiculous dangerous tackle, unbelievable.

This is what you get when the squad is clearly not good enough.

But without Rads/Bielsa and Orta we'd be playing for 10th position in the championship last two seasons
