Gifted Arsenal the 3 points today. Take that second half performance into Weds. Hope Raph is fired up.

Spirit at the end was awesome, players still very much putting the effort in if the quality isn't always there

I can't see us getting another point, can anyone with a telescope have a good look.

If Bert had been in charged still we would have been relegated weeks ago. His philosophy in the end along with his favoritism for same players cost us dearly. There was no other option but to give him the elbow

The most one sided 2-1 of all time but JM can't be blamed for the first goal.
Credit to the players for digging in and showing a bit of fight in the second half.
I'd definitely give Bate a start against Chelsea

I don't mind losing to a superior side.

I do, however, mind being done in by our own stupidity.

Kudos to the ten who never gave up, especially Phillips and Bate.

Bye bye Prem, we were proven right, we should've kept him.

So so sad.

Game was gifted to Arsenal in the first 5 minutes - pathetic performance beginning to end. We now find ourselves in our final league position this season.

To anticipate the inevitable "shouldn't have sacked Bielsa" nonsense.

We lost 4-1 to Arsenal with 11 men.

Arsenal had 21 shots that day to 19 today and 12 on target to 9 today.

We needed a penalty to score that day or it would have been 4-0.

We were more vulnerable under Bielsa with 11 men than today with 10

No, he's just infactuated with Bielsa and perhaps more. He probably has a calendar of Bielsa in his favourite squat positions.

A good last half hour or so.

One more point than Burnley needed.

Real chance at the end for Rodders. What a total balls up from Mes & Ayling. Could easily have got something out of that if players were professional.
Nothing much has changed as I expected the results for us & Everton today.

Better with 10 men, the fight was there, but, once again, no CF , Bate did well and was composed although he probably won't get a full game.
Pissed off the club has put us through this once again, shame on the stubborn 4, no regards and no respect.

Disastrous first half gifted Arsenal the win.

Spirited second half performance and great to see Lewis Bate finally get some minutes.

Still all to play for, keep the faith 8-)

Missed the first half, just seen the goals. What was Meslier thinking?! He's not even close to clearing the ball

I hoped for some points but in reality it was never going to happen. Burnley not winning was huge for us. Still 3 games left and we shouldn't give in yet
