Ayling just can't defend. I'd like to Shack get a run of games at RB.

It makes you wonder how Arsenal are where they are when they play like this

3 nil

Bielsa we love you but you've got it unbelievably wrong today and it's disappointing you couldn't have seen it beforehand when we all could

3-0 appalling defending and dreadful goalkeeping.

Far far to many changes.

MB has got this so wrong.

And the reason for that all goes to back to this failed reshuffle
Agree with that, once Adam had said Struijk was playing DMF and the subsequent changes then I thought we had little chance. We've probably never gotten a point when we make multiple changes of any kind

Lets not forget messing with the two in front of Meslier will be causing him problems too and that's been the case

We're a shambles today. Meslier is having a mare.

Not cost us many or any other games that I can remember

Also not at fault for either the first or third goal...hardly cost us the game, we've been awful all half

Too many changes at the back, which we all said shouldn't happen, and 2 poor mistakes from Meslier.

Exactly...Players can sweat their bollocks off for 90 but Meslier makes two goodish saves and he's MOTM

This isn't even the swashbuckling battering we took at OT.

This is a clinical exposure of our weaknesses.
