Seriously there has got to be something wrong with you to make the comments you do.
To be fair when he is watching multiple screens it must be hard for him to concentrate.

Pope 7 2 good saves kicking a bit sloppy
Lowton: 6 dodgy start but did ok
Tarky 8 steady and well up for it
Mee: 7 steady show
Pieters: 6 - 1 for goal error clever player
Cork: 7 worked bloody hard and good 1st half
Westwood:6 grafted hard
McNeil 7 at times he showed real class but drifted a bit
JBG: 5 -1 for their goal bit slack 2nd half
Wood: 5 not at the races today
Barnes: 7 + 1 for goal

Jay Rod 5 - little to feed on
Lennon 6 late sub but glimpses of the old Lennon looks hungry

Not a bad performance at all but games like this show our lack of quality - said it before so will say again £10 million for Jay= not good business at all and still does not make sense.
Tarkowski 6? Did you actually wstch the game?

Pope 7 - some great saves from Nick, but he was also beaten twice (and a third time for the disallowed one) - a clean sheet today would have got Nick 8 or 9 and my mom.
Lowton 6 - some good, some less good
Tarkowski 8 - solid defending, not quite as effective playing forward - I felt JT was pulled out of position once or twice (though my view was from the far corner and between other fans heads)
Mee 8 mom - solid and reliable, some very confident and well timed tackles, dispossessing the opposition safely, when a little out with the timing could have easily been a pen. A great header away when Nick Pope had parried in the first half.
Pieters 6 - hard working, some great tackles/clearances, crosses didn't come off today (no wind, naturally!). I'd expect Charles Taylor to start at Wolves, both to improve left back and to get a little more out of Dwight.
JBG 6 - a lot of running, chasing and tidying up - one or two better passes/crosses would have got a higher rating
Westwood 6 - I recall Ashley Westwood winning a header at the Arsenal back post - we might have got something from it if it had been one of our taller players - put in a shift, but played second CM to
Cork 7 - worked the hardest, produced the most of our midfield 4 this week. Jack seems to have stepped up from last season - perhaps that's what we get from DD on loan - competition is good for our players
McNeil 6 - pondered a little whether Dwight is a 6 or a 7. The assist for Ash Barnes - I was too far away to see the deflection - pushes his score up. But, Dwight was "out on his feet" from 70 mins - there was no bounce, no "I can win this one" - I watched him pass the ball, when legs that weren't tired would have taken the man on and got in the cross - in the added time, we had 2 corners in quick succession - I felt Dwight was reluctant to take the first because his legs were so tired - and then he had to run across to the other corner to another. We only had Jeff on the bench (excluding gk and 3 defenders) - it looked like we'd have been better subbing Dwight (but, how many 19 year olds could last that pace...)
Barnes 7 - worked hard, challenged, niggled - I was watching our break on the wing when Ash got his booking - and finished his goal.
Wood 7 - Chris Wood got through a tremendous amount of running and chasing - I was a little surprised to see him subbed at 60 mins (though is that just that Sean Dyche usually saves subs, if any, until later) - on the other hand we were 1-2 down and maybe a fresh attacker could level the game

Rodriguez 5 - our "new" boy - returning after years away - and only second sub appearance in competitive games - Jay needs more work to fit in with all his new team mates - we'd have loved it his bicycle kick had come off - though I couldn't understand why he was trying it - the "percentage ball" would have been better.

I'd love to get the team on a fast paced "ticky-tacky" training course - like Arsenal appear to have been on.

I enjoyed the game - we were competing right to the end - it didn't look like that would be the case when we'd gone 0-1 down.

Good question.
I asked him in post 30 - over 3 hours ago - how he could justify that mark, but he has chosen not to respond.
Tarkowski put in a very solid performance today and was unfortunate to be on the losing side.

Not just Tarky but Mee as well. Both had really good games today against some quality players.

Pope. 8. Made several excellent saves. Mom
Lowton 6. Didn't add anything going forward
Tarkowski 8. Classy performance
Mee 7. Very solid
Pieters 6. Did well enough against an outstanding team
JBG 6. Quiet today
Westwood 7. Our high press worked well, but once Arsenal got past it, our midfield looked exposed
Cork 7. See Westwood
McNeil 6. See JBG
Barnes 6. Would have been higher if not for the loss of discipline at the end
Wood 6. Thought he was doing fine

Rodriguez. 5. Poor
Lennon. Including stoppage time I think he was on for 20+ minutes. He looked up for it, good closing down and attacking. 7

For all those having a pop at Jay what service did he get?Hard to judge our strikers when they're having to rely on hopeful balls punted in their general direction.

Given SD's undying loyalty to Cork and Westwood it will be sometime before Drinkwater plays

Not flawless today for Tarks but a very good performance against an Arsenal attack that continually asked questions.
Possibly MotM.
Because he didn't get out quick enough for the second and close him down.

Lol. Have you seen how quick Boomerang is? I commented during the game he is possibly quicker than Henry was...unbelievable pace.

I'd be interested to know your justification for giving Pope a 5 - the only reason I can think of is you didn't actually watch the game.

I hope you are wrong. In our promotion season he kept Ward on the bench until the Hull debicle. He introduced Ward at left full back and move Mee to center, we went on to 22 games undefeated

Unbelievable - he made a number of excellent saves and one brilliant one in second half.
His kicking was poor but at least he’s kicking it into the stands rather doing what Adrian did yesterday and the likes of Loris seem to do nearly every week. With the way we play it is important our keeper is a lot more accurate with his kicking than Pope was yesterday but I still can’t recall a single goal that Pope has given away due to his poor kicking - and their are not many keepers at other clubs you can say that about

Pope 8 - Great saves, needs to work on distribution though!
Lowton 6 - Did OK
Tarkowski 8 - Thought he was excellent again, confident and strong
Mee 7 - Same as Tarks
Pieters 5 - Seemed slow at times and got caught out a lot, Taylor is my preferred option
Gudmundsson 6 - Showed good intent to get the ball in the box, but his mistake cost us
Cork 8 - Much improved on last season, worked hard
Westwood 6 - Game passed him by
McNeil 6 - Showed glimpses of quality, defensively better, but drifted in and out
Wood 6 - Worked very hard but not much came off
Barnes 8 - Wound them up like he does, great trap for the equaliser under pressure

Rodriguez 5 - Looked way off it, didn't get in the game at all
