    Maybe not, but that change didn't cost us. We got a third goal and Arsenal simply could not break us down. Then he took Lavia off.

    Crikey, how do you feel after that, deflated, disappoint, proud, what if. Thought the lads were mainly magnificent tonight. A little tired and did not get close enough to Odergaard for the second.

    What not have taken even an injured Lavia off. There was three points for the taking. I would have taken him being out for four weeks for three points tonight. Interesting as soon as he goes off we concede two. No coincidence

    We didn't really deserve a point but I will take it as one I would never have expected, for the life of me I will never understand the substitutions, they were totally baffling.

    VAR wanted to check the milk was onside when it went in.

    Alcaraz was visibly upset sitting on the bench at the beginning of the second half. Not good to see if we're going to convince him to stay.

    Let's face it, if we had got all 3 points, it would have given us hope. We know what that does.

    You wouldn't get in any team I've played in with that attitude.

    Disgraceful that our team, fighting for its life, can’t hold on to a 2 goal lead for 10m.

    ***That may be why we are bottom of the league?

    Let's face it we have been **** all year, but havent lost away to the league leaders.

    I thought Ward-Prowse, Bella-Kochup and Lavia were outstanding. Credit to Walcott and Alcatraz too.

    I think we see why Onachu is on the bench.

    I don't know how you can say that. The players gave it their all. I would rather we played like that then the second half against Palace.

    Selles lost us the game. No manager in their right mind brings off Lavia and Alcarez. Just ****ing stupid and clueless and says so much about Selles in-game management.

    We could have had it but he made the mistakes.

    For once I actually appreciate the players effort but the manager lost us the game.

    Positive spin: Impressive that we scored three goals away to the league leaders.

    Slightly harsh mate. They did not close down for the second, but think they all gave a lot tonight

    Sums our weird season up

    the league leaders not been able to beat us, done the double over Chelsea, drew at Old Trafford, point against spurs, and we are where we are.

    It actually makes sense if you think about it. We knew last summer that we needed creative players that would make a difference. We can't break down a stubborn defence to save our lives. Apart from that the team is okay and can compete.

    Yeah that’s true. Hard result to swallow though.

    Think you’re been too negative. I expected 3-0 defeat so to get a point is better than expected. I was actually impressed with some of our play
