Great start to the second half

Now, let's see how we react to scoring.....

So maybe not absolutely terrible, Newcastle in total control of the game and Arsenal carved open at will :hehe:

Honestly Peter, if you were otherwise, it would disappoint me :-)

That was the first half, wes. Then we improved, briefly.

First half was dreadful. This doesn't change that

Slightly concerned that young Nwaneri keeps getting passed over for the final 20 minutes over the last few games. It?s probably strategic, perhaps he?s lacked sharpness in training but I can?t help thinking he has to be disappointed.

If he doesn't start against Southampton we'll know there is an issue

We did.

I don't mind the idea of game management mode. I just hate ours. It doesn't work.

If you want to control the game, do it through controlling possession. Dropping in your block and surrendering control is a **** way of 'managing' a game.

Arteta needs to sort it out over the summer. We will never win the league playing like that.
