Also, Leno's not a great keeper. Good shot stopper, but everything else he does is shit.

Well it did a bit, when Saka - our genuine talent - got forward. But he's got nobody to play off now Auba's on holiday.

There were a few decent moves - more in the first half.
Just didn’t push on in the second half. Not enough urgency.
Not too despondent, we are a work in progress but this away record against the top 6 is getting pretty embarrassing.

[Marc Overmars]

Never looked liked scoring in the second half. Shite.

Another defeat away at one of the top sides. Shite.

[Niall_Quinn]

Leaving aside the fact Leno is almost always going to parry into the danger zone, how dod Sterling have so much time and space? He could have taken a snooze and then scored. Nobody was anywhere near him. Bellerin was wrong footed, Bad defending. He opened up the opportunity for the first shot. But it's really about what happened after that. We were operating at 1mph, the gypos were moving at 100mph. Inevitable outcome.

When you look at the pen - I mean the surefire, 100%, certain, put your house on it, pen - the player has to fall on the ground and roll over clutching his face. Doesn't he? You actually have to cheat to get the decision. The appalling officials are forcing players to cheat.
