    Mings with the most reprehensibly stupid five minutes of football of recent times there.

    Is that abomination they’re wearing in the tweet above a training top or actual kit?

    Palace's reliance on doing everything through a League One carthorse is a bit of an issue for them.

    I've never been as confident before a game against Arsenal, which is usually a bad sign, but I don't see how we aren't going to roast you down both flanks.

    I definitely spent points on fantasy to bring in as many Chelsea players as possible. Go mason go.

    I have been far more confident than I am today in the past and watched Chelsea smash six into us so I wouldn't be surprised to see Frank gangbanging Arteta with some corner flags in the later stages of this one. Martinelli probably has a career ending injury today too, based on the way this season is going.

    Mohammed Elneny going from rightfully judged as not good enough to first name on the team sheet is the symbol of how bad we are now.

    Although James has had a dreadful game so far, that was a dive.

    Also, I'd love to see stats on whether Edouard Mendy has ever saved a penalty in his life. I've seen him against about 8 so far and he hasn't gone the right way even once.

    He's saved 1 of his last 25 penalties. Awful.

    Midfield is the issue, we're too slow and ponderous.

    Whisper it but I wouldn't be against chucking Havertz on here and seeing what happens, he can't be any worse. Fucking Abraham is complete dogshit, he has no control of his limbs and the ball just bounces off him, which is a huge discrepancy in terms of giving the ball back to the opposition - happened on Monday and again tonight.

    Arsenal haven't led in a premier league match since we got that penalty at Old Trafford yet Lampard somehow engineers us to look capable, West Brom all over again.

    The lack of open-play goals is telling. Brighton will ruin Arsenal even without finishers.

    I have no tactical/structural reason why this is, but in about 20% of games the team just turns up looking like it can't be arsed.

    'Useless' isn't a specific criticism though, I'm struggling to attribute the team's shit performances to his coaching in a visible way.

    On this theme, does anyone know why Arsenal have been so bad (apart from today perhaps)? I've barely seen them. Going off the stats, they are pretty dire offensively. An Arsenal friend says they don't create any chances and just pass to the wing backs to hopefully cross?

    On a different note, Aston Villa are 6th and can go above Man United if they win their game in hand.

    Chelsea often seem fairly poor from an organisational perspective (which is surely the main thing the manager does). I think it would be quite hard to describe how Chelsea play and they seem quite reliant on individual brilliance a lot of the time (but that may be due to the players they have).

    In both cases I think it's a case of simply moving the ball far too slowly.

    As bad as we've been here, all three of their goals have been a joke - this is a 0-0 game.

    Yeah, you know you've done something to offend the footballing gods when Xhaka is raining in 30 yard freekicks and mishit crosses are deftly lobbing you admittedly feckless looking 'keeper.

    We have no midfield presence. The pass maps are hilarious. This is the first game we’ve had any space whatsoever.

    They each play Villa in their next two games and Villa are coming away from those with at least two points.

    Yeah, Leno chucked one in in the 90th minute After we dominated the game and Jimmy came on claiming it was a deserved victory. I was seething.

    My biggest frustration with Lampard is that I don't know what the hell he sees in Abraham. The guy just doesn't have the touch or precision or class to be a top footballer in any position.

    Kante as a number 9. This is what happens when you hve no structure or plan because you're incompetent. I'd love to know how much football Fraud Lampard watches.

    Sorry did I just see that we have 7 wins in 15 against the big clubs under Arteta? So glad the club haven’t listened to the fans trying to get him sacked. He’s the best thing to happen to us in years.
