Didn't think it was possible to play worse than last week but we've managed.
Stream died just as the goal was scored - has it been allowed by VAR?
How could that be offside? There were 2 players on the line

Last weeks first half was worse.
No goal. We didn't deserve it anyway. Been absolutely horrid this half.
we never get those calls.
Fucking ridiculous that the decision of the ref doesn't just stand when it's such tiny margins. My stream's behind a bit, did it stand?
Yeah looks off to me too. Unfortunate
We should really have gotten the benefit of the doubt there.
Agree that the way we play relies on too fine a margin. It needs the exact same core players to play at their absolute best DVR they opposition to do exactly what we want and any variation and Arteta doesn't have solution. That is not a strategy that I think will take us to where we want to go.
Couldn't even see clearly but it's Arsenal, if in doubt, give the benefit to the opposition.
That surely couldn't be disallowed. Based on what information?

Based on "trust me bro"
Jesus fucking Christ, this is football then, 5 minutes checking if Martinelli's foot was ten milimeters offside, fuck this shit. Absolutely ridiculous that goals like this don't stand, but then again, we didn't deserve shit from that half.
Get fucked.

I always see you saying this but it's not as simple as that. We can run as much as we want, if we really want. Fact is there's no space for us to run because Brighton once again nullified our spaces and they pass and move too well.
Exactly the same as the game at AMEX where they completely dominated us, just no finishing touch there
Absolutely scandalous to overturn the decision of the linesman.
That is too much to take really.
Fucking outrageous.
Even though it didn't end up counting, we should take something from that and press the fuck out of them in the second half. And Pepe needs to be on the pitch, he can make shit happen when it seems the rest of the team can't.
Really annoying to see us come out in this match without the intensity and professionalism we should have. We were pathetic last week and not much better today. Where is the reaction we were promised? This isn't good enough.
Massive half time team talk for Arteta now. If he doesn't get it right we are going to miss out on top 4.

They just foul their way through games and run hard. It's the formula of the premier league, nothing revolutionary. Match their intensity and we'd win handily.
Palace was a tough game away from home. The result can be excused notwithstanding the performance even if it's matches like those that say most about a team and the manager. This is hard to rationalize though. Very hard. This Brighton team at home in our chase for CL. We are just awful.
