Arsenal 2 - 0 Newcastle United - 01/04/19 - Post-match reaction from page 14

Our passing was absolutely atrocious all game

We've not been great, but they've been very good too and made it very difficult for us to create chances.

Normally follow every game on here as I watch but tonight just watched and actually thought we played pretty well against a decent arsenal team.

Without the organisation under Rafa this would have been a thrashing.

I hate these games, it’s embarassing how much better Arsenal are than us.

The gulf in class in passing and movement was abundantly apparent today, and we all know who is to blame for that. This is what it looks like when you actually spend money on transfers.

Just frustrating to see professional footballers play so poorly in a big match at Arsenal. Not stringing passes together, wrong decisions more often than not. Not getting to the second or third ball. Not tracking the Arsenal runners, etc.

Back to usual MNF loss

Well that was shite.

Welp, was wrong today mate

Poor that.

I think our lack of quality and general approach requires teams to have a bit of an off day if were going to get something. We're never gonna outplay teams and Arsenal have been very good.

We were well organised as ever. Kept an Arsenal team playing really well to 2 goals. Awful on the ball though

That felt like a "Already on there flipflops" style performance.

The fuck? U ok m8?

10 consecutive home wins for Arsenal is canny impressive. We just weren't good enough tonight against a really good team.

shite passing, especially from the back (yedlin, dummet and lascelles ffs)

and it finally dawns on me that all that bullshit about ritchie refusing to pass to almiron is true.

even the ref's bias couldnt help us tonight - he was like a 12th man for us at times.

thought an equaliser was actually coming until that brainfart of a second goal.

Dearly hope every game between now and the end of the season isn't a big minging damp squib. The job isn't done yet. Palace will be a difficult game.

Couldn’t even pass the ball 5 yards. That’s not lack of quality that’s just inexcusable.

I thought the ref was excellent.

Mike Dean or any of the other cunts we usually get and that's at least 4-0, probably 5 if you give a pen for a Paully D handball.

Fucking hell. Even the adverts are taking the piss.

Don't we usually perform very well after the intn'l break?

I get teams have days when they play poorly, but it baffles me how in such performances like tonight there are no positives to pick from. It happens very often.

Meh, we are just seeing out the fixture list now.
