Ki was woeful. Diame wasteful. Thank goodness for Dubravka. Onwards and upwards. Easy one against the gunners next.

Definitely a lot better today. With Lascelles back in the side, the team was a lot more organised. Diame’s work rate was exceptional. I think if Rafa changed things a bit earlier than last 10 we might of came away with a point. #nufc

I like Ki, but him and Diame isn’t a partnership. Forced together out of necessity. I’d like to see Ki and Shelvey #NUFC

Not a bad result. Only beaten by a very good Walker goal. Plus points being Dubravka, DeYedlin and Diame form. Good shape and discipline #NUFC
