Match Reaction v Southampton (away).

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Fucking new manager bounce.

Should be banned tbf.

So should Xhaka having to look at the ball every time before he passes it.

[dazthegooner]

Had a feling we would lose this one today sho'w that Leno isn't the new #1 we had hoped for.

[Blink 1nce Quince 2wice]

Don't actually think this game showed anything about Leno's goalkeeping we didn't already know. He has looked unconvincing on crosses from the start.

Kos misjudging so much in the air didn't help him for the first couple though.

[Letters]

Only saw the last 15 minutes but pretty uninspiring.
Having not lost since the opening 2 games it would be churlish to go overboard but we have ridden our luck at times during that run. Emery has work to do, but I think we knew that.

[Marc Overmars]

Just poor all over the pitch. A shitty way for our run to come to an end losing to a garbage team like that.

I don't think Iwobi or Mkhi are doing enough to keep Ozil out of the team.

[fakeyank]

We really to field one or two of the young guns in games. We need some direct players like Saka and ESR in the team.

Also horrible team selection by Emery. Dont know what Xhaka was doing in central defense.

I agree, especially the second point, and especilly re Iwobi.

Thought Ozil did some positive things when he came on, bit still think Ramsey should have played a part

Injuries etc aren't completely an excuse for some of the team selections IMO

[AFC Leveller]

Leno is so dodgy on crosses it's a huge worry having him in goal. looked like a draw but he decided to gift them 3 points, tis the season after all.

With Mkhi I just feel there isn't much confidence to what he does, his general play isn't great because there's no conviction. Iwobi is probably capable of better but his early season good form has drifted off and now he's looking like Bambi on ice again.

Ozil for all his faults can still construct some decent passages of play even on a bad day and against these type of teams I don't think we should be leaving him out.

[Globalgunner]

Auba too needs to be dropped, Quite useless today and Litch-Kosc is on a par with the worst CB combo weve ever seen
