The shirt pulling on Kongolo? in the area when LDP had a header across was the biggest penalty shout from both teams this afternoon. Ref should have given that

Once again, we look a better team than last year. We have no attacking threat but we've not had much luck either. Arsenal looked shell shocked, thats a credit to our team. Remember they beat Spurs last week and hammered us last year. A bit of luck and a couple of players in Jan and we could be ok, injuries permitting We can say that till the cows come home but ultimately we've lost, yet again.

Played well. I feared an absolute beating but it never looked like being one.
Thought the ref was decent. Took no shit and clamped down on their diving wankers.
Depoitre's was never a pen. Why he didn't just shoot I don't know.

It’s hard to score goals with only two forward thinking players on the pitch.
This formation helps us in the middle and defensive thirds but gives us nothing going forwards.

Shoulder to shoulder. Not a dive but not a pen either Nudged in the back was my take on it. Brushed on the back more like. A gust of wind would have knocked Depoitre over in that position because whilst he worked hard, he's fucking cluless in the box,

Need to work on our composure... We play some nice stuff in the middle of the park, defence is looking much better & it's just the gobbers that have cost us.
Keep this going lads - keep your heads up, you'll get the rewards...

It was a shirt pull. I don't know how many times you need telling that it is against the rules to pull a players shirt. He dived after but the first offence was the shirt pull You told us last week the shirt pull on Pritchard wasn’t sufficient to award a penalty. That was what I said after seeing it on match of the day when it was hard to tell if Pritchard was pushed down or just fell backwards looking for it The photo i saw on here after suggested it should have been a penalty

Goals for and against in the last 2 seasons for the Bournemouth and Arsenal away games...
2017/18 - 0-9
2018/19 - 1-3
Still no points but to me demonstrates that we ARE a better team this time round.

we are fucked - as a team and as a Town Arsenal are 3rd with a wage bill probably 6 times ours. A little perspective I think.

Worked hard, fought for every ball, made them look mediocre. Well done Town. HOWEVER I don't think their goalkeeper had a save to make. Different day, same problem. We literally don't have anyone in the team you would back to get half a dozen goals all season. I thought Pritchard might, but as someone else said he goes to pieces in the box.

Good effort. 2nd away performance in a row where we have stayed in the game and gave a good account of ourselves. Last year we were getting spanked 4-0 and 5-0 in the same fixtures. We just need a pacey striker to provide a different dimension when playing on the counter. Almost there.

We need more pace on the pitch. It's painful to watch when we break
Bacuna played an outstanding ball for Pritchard who should have been strolling on to that to square it for a striker to tap in. Instead a big lump of a centre half completely outpaced him
Lots of work to do in January to stand a chance of staying up

But Rose's was a definite penalty. Classic. No way was that a penalty. Running nowhere and clearly knackered hoping to buy a pen Not quite as bad their 3 dives but still play acting So what! As if no-one has tried that on against us. Are you really a Town fan?

That formation clearly works away from home. Not sure it works at home where we are expected to attack. Wagner needs to get the wingers in for Newcastle.

Are you really a Town fan? So I should be completely biased and say every appeal we make is a penalty? Yeah that makes sense As said above we should have had a penalty of the shirt pulling on Kongolo and Pritchard could have had one when Bellerin caught him Does that mean I'm a town fan again?

Deserved a point....gave everything.
Please Deano just get us a striker in January we can do this we have deserved so much more this week.
Thought Bacuna looked good today & Willians did ok seeing he has been out for so long.
Lolo well short unfortunately.

I had us down to lose theese two games. Just so relieved we didny get hammered in either game. I think confidence in the team will be okay as we played well today and were the better side Tuesday. Newcastle massive now. It's deffo a do not lose.

A good gritty showing by Town we just lack that bit of quality to make teams pay when the opportunities arise.

Ref seemed to have a good game today, just a shame that we get pulled up for time wasting, yet as soon as they're 1-0 up it's OK?
I get the hypocrisy, just seems to be the subconscious bias that exists that thinks teams like ours are going to use that tactic more than the top teams.
Certainly a day to keep your head held high though...
