They need to do better to at least stop an easy ball along the ground. 

They cant. They are being overloaded without help. Forfet the cutback. It is obvious what happen, arsenal overload our wing and we look confused on how to cover the extra man. Make it harder for arsenal to have clear cut bacm then protect the cutback

what infuriates me more is we are gifting Arsenal a way to win this game, a game we should be controlling much better after leading 2-0, fuck...

We really have to hope half time settles the players' heads. They looked shell shocked. How we can go from bossing it (while admittedly still conceding chances) to looking like scared dogs is mad. Like getting kicked in the teeth.

It was as if we expected Arse to surrender.

Jorginho has been better than advertised.  Like another manager out on the pitch.  Very vocal and demonstrative for only being here a short time.

Guys the defending is bad, yes. But it will get better with time.

Switch to 4-2-3-1 and have Kante play deep next to Jorginho, need that defensive protection first and foremost.

Or AVB.. Or Scolari..

I don't think we conceded that kind of stupid goals under AVB or Scolari, certainly not a lot AFAIR. With RDM, it was a recurring theme. That home game against United is a prime example.

major upgrades needed in defense thats for sure, but as usual the board is too stupid to see that

Conte was right, we still desperately need Van Dijk.

If we sort back to Conte style we wont concede but what is the point. We are trying to change our playing style

We attacked like Guardiola's City in the first 20-30 minutes and then defended like Klopp's Liverpool in the remaining minutes of the half.

Liverpool has sorted their defensive issues now for the most part, unfortunately.

AVB 11/12 season, deja vu? leading 2-0 and then losing 5-3, i fucking hope not

Oh lordy hope now!!! I'd rather be losing 2-0 then having thrown away a 2-0 lead like that! 

Anyway 2nd half... Hopefully.. Get something from this! Even a draw be shit but better then sod all

Come on!

the thing with playing a new style is that it takes time to settle, i know, but i just dont want us to lose to fucking Arsenal

Jorginho cant recover a single ball.

He seems above reproach though doesnt he?

 

People have even started singling out Kante for having to do the job of 3 people.
