Haih can't believe we're not in front...we've been really good actually.

Alonso sleepwalking again.. getting quite sick of seeing how slow he is on the ball. Slow in thinking and movement.

And we're down by one. Lol

Kante released in the box and attempts an absolutely horrible lay off to higuan.. Ruben needs to come in soon or we're losing this imo.

Please get alonso off.. He's one of the main reasons we conceded, a good attack completely breaking down on his side before they won the corner.

How did pickford even save that...sigh

I actually think this is the wrong sub...barkley has been very good, it's kante who should have gone off imo. Still good to see ruben on, but barkley should have finished the match.

Thanks a lot alonsoooo..don't understand what the hell sarri sees in u.

This is the main thing imo. Alonso gives the ball away under ZERO pressure regardless of the quality of opposition. Give me emerson who can at least recover faster when he messes up.

How poor has kante been today as well?he is misplacing basic passes under no pressure. Awful performance from him today. Just as bad as alonso IMHO.

Both should have continued on from the europa league. But giroud has every right to be pissed after getting a hattrick and benched. How the hell did alonso get a free pass I'll never understand.

What a pathetic second half, and we've seen this many times this season where we completely turn to shit in the second 45 of matches. Almost like whatever sarri is saying in the dressing room is having the exact opposite effect.

Barkley was surprisingly decent despite the boo boys, but it's hard to accept this 'mentality excuse that keeps being thrown around when we just crumble after conceding first.

This is the problem when sarri stubbornly persists with his favourites. He knows damn well we have a problem with goal scoring in the league, when your backup striker scores a bloody hattrick, you let him start the next match to build MOMENTUM. But nooooo he goes back to gonzalo 'you'll never notice me on the pitch because most of the time I'm doing nothing' higuain.

When we win and he makes crucial interceptions in defense and attack, all is good. But I notice now he tends to look exhausted in matches because sarri forces him to help in our attacking and defensive phase. When this happens he will have long periods where he's not doing much in either department, and proceeds to give away the ball many, many times when we're attacking.

Someone like RLC getting the ball in some of his positions would do wonders, there was one instance where someone fed him a peach of a pass right into the middle of the penalty box and he had time to take a touch and get a strike away. Instead he chooses to try and lay it off to gonzalo with a horrible touch and everton intercept without much trouble. He's tired and sarri again kept him on when we were dying for more quality attacking input.

With top four still within reach, I don't know how many false dawns we can endure because quite frankly, united and arsenal deserve it more than us. Second worst away record in 2019 after fulham. Let that sink in for a bit.

Higuain looking like a pure division 3 player at the moment. Sigh.

Can rudiger please stop with those aimless longballs please. Damn we look like a side resigned to the europa and it's showing in their body language..

Of course he miskicks our best chance as well..haizzz

6 mins to find a winner.. Offside goal. Thank God we don't have VAR

Gotta say we don't deserve it. But to be fair we had a stonewall penalty denied in the first half. So screw u cardiff.

Goaaaaaaaaalllllllllllll biyayaaaaatttttccchhhhhhh

I honestly think this is possibly our worst performance alongside that 6 nil city thrashing. Absolutely horrendous. Don't know what the hell we were doing for the best part of 80 minutes.

Alonso had no right to even be near the pitch, let alone the bench after that disgusting performance vs everton, odoi should have come on in the second half for any of the front three, higuain was useless, so so many things wrong with that performance and it's only cardiff.

I thought conte was stubborn but damn sarri is on a whole different level.

Girouuuudddddddd!! What a ball from odoooiiiiiiiiiiii

Hazard with a brilliant goaaaaaallllllllllll
