Norwich vs Arsenal PL 15/16

Koscielny injured. Pulled up holding his side. Gabriel coming on.

Two more than decent chances worked down the left hand side, but both scuffed by Ozil and Giroud.

Goal! A poor clearance from Ruddy is intercepted by Alexis, who slips in Ozil, who dinks it over the keeper.

I'll just be celebrating on my own over here.

And it's now 1-1 after some horrible defending from Gabriel, as he's turned very easily in the box by Grabban, who slots in the equaliser.

Against the run of play but for us it's not surprising.

Finding it very hard to be passionate about this game.

That's why I wasn't posting Jay.

Typically Arsenal performance.. We know how this story unfolds..

very poor from Gabriel, should have been stronger. He was just brushed aside and he offered little resistance. It's like he expected a foul or something.

Defensively our right hand side is very poor, Ramsey is not interesting in covering Bellerin, he keeps coming inside instead of staying wide so the team has a better shape and Bellerin doesn't know where to position himself when they come forward. This is similar to the West Brom game, all we had to do was not concede but we make it difficult for ourselves by conceding such cheap goals. I hope Ozil, Sanchez create something so we can get the 3 points but our defending doesn't fill me up with confidence at the moment. You just get the feeling that we will give them another in this game.

We're not stopping crosses coming in, either, which is surely the best way Norwich are going to make chances. We almost conceded another one before half-time like that.

It's this sort of thing that really makes me doubt our title challenge. We need to be playing with a lot more authority in these games. The last three goals we've conceded should not happen.

not a single dominant team in the league and its up for grabs yet we rely and Giroud,Mertesacker and Flamini

Seconds into the second half and Cazorla injures his knee.

ffs

Gabriel needs to improve his distribution, he is the polar opposite of Mert and Koscielny with the ball at his feet

It's happened.

Alexis has pulled his hamstring.

Just... I have no words.

This is very poor

Gabriel ducking from a header, almost scores an OG.

Norwich the better side by a distance atm. The Alexis injury has changed things.

Cech saved us there, everytime they go down our right side i wince

Monreal has four to aim for in the box, puts his cross behind all of them.

So, so poor right now.

Wow - Gabiel is so underwhelming.

Where's the guy who was arguing earlier this week about dropping Mertesacker? Are you watching this game, Raptor?

Oxlade hopefully addresses the right side issue now

Norwich dominating now.

This will be a loss. 100%

This is shocking, probably our worst performance so far this season. Norwich look on top, bossing posession and winning all the 50-50's and lost balls while we look knackered. Need to dig in

All our possession in front of Norwich. Everyone coming towards the ball, nothing in behind.

Bellerin has space to knock it into and take it to the byline, puts it out of play

Looking forward to another battle for the top four lads?

that was funny

if we can't play football for shit, at least don't leak goals. This is torturous to watch

I maintained that we will not be challenging for the title.

Unless we can win games like West Ham, West Brom or Norwich - let's please focus on better things in life.

Monreal what are you doing.

Needless corner for Norwich.

Our players are playing Sunday league football right now..

That was epic from our full backs in the last few minutes
