I initially thought he hadn't any chance for the first goalHe should have saved the first goal.
Im not sure,you could argue he could have made himself bigger instead of falling backwards.He should have saved the first goal.
I hope Bravo doesn't have a big season as that means he will get significant game time which will not end well. The manager should be under enormous pressure from the powers that be next season.Cech tipped one round today that 100% would gone past bravo.
Nothing will convince me that bravo is good enough for us.
Pep isn't far behind him
Both have very big seasons coming up next year.

I posted on another thread that if Pep had rocked up at Manure and achieved the same outcome in his first season we'd be pissing our sides. Just waiting for them to start a SOP thread.
Yes, that is very true, sadly. Losing today to an Arsenal side who have been on a pretty poor run of form since March, to be 1 up and still lose is pretty rank rotten and yet, we've seen it all season, a total inability to batten down the hatches and kill a game...how many games have we won 1-0 this season? Not many I'll wager...

Totally and utterly unfair to blame Pep or the players for this result.
Dominated possession, dominated chances, hit the bar and the post and denied a clear penalty and another goal that would have made the scorline 2-2
Just what is Pep and the players expected to do in the face of such biased officiating. We got a free kick in extra time and the ref only stepped out nine steps making it virtually impossible for Yaya to get the ball up and over the wall. That just about summed up his attitude.
The Lino clearly guessed that the ball was over the line for Agueros first which ultimately sums up the official attitude to us. If they can find a pretext to shaft us they will. I'm sure the club is well aware of what is going on.

Not sure where to start but I'm sure its all been covered.
First half totally dominant but as with the whole season fail to capitalise
After grabbing the lead we yet again cant defend it and going into extra time there was only one winner.
We are so unfit its untrue nearly all our players were dead on their feet. Yet again slow paced predictable football with no plan b has cost us.
Expected so much more from this season pellers got sacked after a better season.
We need a major overhaul in he summer not just in terms of players but mentality too

Ultimately if you are not good enough you will eventually get found out. We're not good enough.

Completely wrong about yaya our best player today did not deserve to be on the losing side Kevin Leroy and raheem were terrible our problem this season has been the full backs pep must have known before he came and did not do anything about it in my eyes pep is massively at fault
I will happily take a draw on Thursday.
They are unbeaten in 23 league matches and will be no push over especially with Jose getting in the refs head pre-match.
On the other hand we can't hit a barn door and confidence will be low.
Same feeling as before Spurs at home mate, and we played them off the pitch. We've been very good at home against the top 6, just fucked over by the refs (which of course could well happen on Thu).
