I actually thought Osman done OK. Fit in well and played some nice passes in the first half. Can't be solely balmed, none of the players bar maybe McCarthy, Naismith and Barry done particularly well in the second half.

I agree, when I saw Osman coming on I was fuming, but he done well. CBs and the right side let us down in 2nd half.
 

It was pretty clear that energy levels did drop though. Arsenal rung the changes early and gave us the runaround for 10-15 minutes before they stuck the knife in. You have to say that the initial goal was coming, but the second one was just a sickner.. :(

Why are we disappearing in the 2nd half?, I use to think Jags and Distin were rock solid, they have started this season in shocking form, don't recognise them from last season.

Proper took the shine of my weekend this, Chelski are going to rape us if we play like this against them.

No defence -2nd week on the run - 1st goal Osman and Coleman having to cover for Distan and Jags and the 2nd goal a cross Jags could not head away! we should have 6pts we have 2pts - not the end of the world but it looks like we have to score 3 to win any game with Distan and Jags at the back!

It's football

It happens

I'm fuming myself mate but I will not blinker myself to the fact we out played a title challenging team who have the benefit of bringing on players like Giroud and Carzola

Fitness looks a major issue but I am 100% that will come over the next few weeks, Crap end to a good performance

yep and we looked terrible in pre-season as well.

not knee-jerking here, but it may be time for distin to be a more rotation option rather than guaranteed starter.

it's becoming more obvious how poor they are as a pair, never thought i'd see the day that arsenal's only weapon against us was lumping crosses into the box. they tried all their nice passing triangles around the edge of the box, but never created anything.

it's such a shame we didn't win that because they were kicking us all over the shop through sheer frustration, i think i've massively overated them tbh

True for you, I was the first to praise Distin all last season but yeah maybe Stones should be blooded in more this term.

It was an Arsenal team rarely seen, 4 yellow cards and I thought they had clocked up more, they had 18 fouls, it was snatch and grab at its finest, like last week for them - and for us.
