Hopefully too strong for Cardiff. Subs bench is excellent and many great players left out:

4 Elneny
7 Mkhitaryan
11 Torreira
12 Lichtsteiner
16 Holding
19 Leno
23 Welbeck

Hope he uses the bench better than AW can't see how he wouldn't.

Bugga Antony Taylor..............

Links?

Are Ward and Ramsey related?

It would be great if we dispensed with this stupid idea that we can play the ball around with Čech involved in a passing sequence

Čechs passing is coming along nicely.

He appears to be colour blind though.

Oi Rog I'm sure you did the opposite once before? Are we paying you too much

Can't play out from the back with Čech. Comedy stuff.

1-0. Super corner and header from Mustafi

Ace header

Just plain scary watching it develop. Impending disaster written all over it.

It's my OCD

An Özil 50 yard pass over the top? Am I seeing things?

We are a lot more direct today (apart from Čech’s nonsense)

Old quote from Ruud Gullit:

“a goalkeeper is a goalkeeper because he can't play football.”

Correct, and especially so in Čech’s case.

That Liverpool goalie yesterday

I have no idea how that isn’t 1-1. Mustafi is a lucky boy there

Lacazette cons the muppet..........................

Aaaah. Almost 2-0. Lacazette hits the post. Fine effort, unlucky.

He's playing well. Bright spark in a pretty poor game.

He’s sure looking lively and dangerous.

Well I doubt Čech will be able to keep a clean sheet.

Here I am lying in bed and after watching this, I don't think I'll be able to keep one.

Oh yuk.

Duh!!! Well it’s been coming. We lost control of the game.

Big mouth.

And there it is ...

1st shot on goal for them too.

Not much fun to be had watching this. Very disjointed and we are almost encouraging Cardiff to come at us. Sadly, we are miles off Top 4 level.

Xhaka has again cost us. That pass was unnecessary. Just hold the ball or slide it to a nearer player. It was only a short matter of time for the whistle to go. Disappointing to give a goal away, again!

What is happening to Aubameyang? He just can't get going.

Our defence is just a horrible shambles, it was obvious that a goal was coming.

I love the concept of playing out from the back but when you have the personnel we have back there you have to wonder how wise it is.

I wish that when our players get fouled they don't roll around as if they've been poleaxed. It just shows weakness and encourages the opposition. Just get up and get on with it and don't behave like a bunch of pussies.

So f%$*ng predictable.
These idiots haven't scored in the league all season.
You just knew that would change against us.
Everyone breaks their ducks against us.
So infuriating.

I think that’s the thing. Preferred philosophy always has to meet with reality and the reality is the players we have can’t play this way at the moment. Either we change how we play out from the back or change all the centre backs and goalkeeper.

Oh jeez. Another Čech pass that we managed to get away with.

Čech!! Dear god, get a grip!

This isn't about the centre backs. Mustafi and Sokratis are both decent passers of the ball. It's about Čech or more to the point it's about Emery. There are 10 outfield players in a team. You don't need to play triangles with your keeper.

This.

Aubameyang! I just couldn’t see it coming. Brilliant finish.

Aubameyang !

Beautiful!!
