Love Nwaneri. But this game is also showing why you want to blood him as a forward and not a number 8. Losing the ball a lot

Shiny headed prick

Why the fuck are they wasting so much time trying to take a corner? Honestly, Nwaneri deserved that booking. THere's no way it should take that long, especially when the ref has already been paying attention to the timing of things.

Qwiss succumbed to the crowd, you'd be giving yellows all the time for that if consistent

Very weird half

I feel like 99% of time when people complain about refereeing performances it's just nonsensical whining, but today has been an honest-to-god awful referee performance. My god.

we miss sakas corner deliveries from the right

Funny how Anthony Taylor started out against us, but Brighton are such a pack of cunts that he seemed to end the half against them, too.

USArsenal
Yep, our time wasting, especially in early stages of the game is not a great watch and if anything it helps opposition.

The Uncle multiplier is strong in this one. Can't believe anyone still wants these guys to play for us.

USArsenal nah he’s trying to make this about himself as usual the bald prick

We need to kill this game off , what's with the time wasting? Stupid booking

GooneriC it’s not time wasting. They’re desperate to execute good set pieces.

Watching the half time show. They have called out Merino’s excellent linkup play on the Nwaneri goal. Great work passing and creating space for Nwaneri.

Well it's taking too long , you could tell he would get booked if he waited another 5 seconds , just take the kick. Another observation , with Brighton keeping 2 or 3 men up we should be taking some corners short and mess up their positioning

Thought we started off well, playing out from the back out of the press and then got our goal and seemed happy to sit on it and slow the game down, so we got sloppy and stopped playing with purpose.

Rice spending half his time on the RW too loll. But hey if it all pays off and ends 1 nil no complaints.

Nwaneri off for Martinelli real shame. He was our only outlet.

Panda understandable though. Even without the mistakes, I doubt it's a good idea for him to play full games in a few days.

I'd be interested to know how Arteta explained it to him though.

Good sub. Tom (and George) need help. Nephew Ethan doesn't have the engine.
