Stones hurt...

Only time we looked like scoring is when Deulofeu ran into the box

As frustrating as he is, Deulofeu looks the only one capable of doing anything for us

That's why it was important we won the shootout and got to play a real team in the next game.

This'll be a learning experience and we'll gain a lot from it, fitness-wise too. We've got plenty of time to address our weaknesses yet.

Hopefully we can show we're not that far behind them in the second half, make some chances and maybe get a goal or two. Kone and Naismith aren't looking up to it and need to both be used sparingly this season.

Stones is utterly superb.

Would it be too much to ask for Barry, Naismith and Kone's contract to be terminated with immediate effect?

We've offered nothing down that left side.

Garbutt and Cleverley have not gelled.

Are we allowed 5 changes? If so, make them at HT. These are goosed.

I'm sure it's 6 subs you can bring on, against Stoke I'm certain we made 5 changes at HT, and we also brought Kone on late on.

Lots of ads for liquor during the break. How did they know? :pint2:

Barry is going to be the first name on the teamsheet under Martinez.

Sky are getting on my nerves the way they're bumming Arsenal

davidloach · July 18, 2015

Every team in the league has a better backup than Kone I am positive.

granter79 · July 18, 2015

Just in n seen d goal. Joel awful for it

Joey66 · July 18, 2015

Six subs we can use - thats an easy decision to take at least five off!

Roberto certainly enjoys making it hard for me to like him.

Thank goodness for that.

Kone, Naismith, Garbutt and McCarthy off immediately and leave two in reserve.
