What has happened in this second half?
First half I thought we did well, especially the last 20 minutes. Got ourselves a penalty, but I’m not surprised Ralls missed - he hasn’t been playing well this season.
0-0 at half time and competing well.
But our defence seemed to have fallen apart during the half time break. All those goals could have been avoided.
I don’t like posting negative stuff but that second half was awful.
We seem incapable of playing well for an entire game. We can do it for 45 minutes but not for 90. That needs to be addressed.

wasnt there 2-3 off line aswell terrible second half and cannot see what ralls brings to the team not saying it because he missed the pen but that hasnt helped just dont get what he offers us esp when arter and gunners are playing aswell esp when we got pace to burn with mendez and murphy on bench who just scored lol

Unbelievable difference Ned, we were never in it in the second-half and yet first we could of been beating West Ham.

A very disappointing second half and disappointed a clearly out of form Joe Ralls took it on himself (seemingly assisted by Sol Bamba) to take the penalty when clearly it should have gone to Victor Camarasa
It beggared the question do we have an 'official' penalty taker anymore?

I think it was still Ralls, but Camarasa obviously fancied it, the only thing when that happens is it puts extra pressure on the penalty taker, knowing if he misses everyone will know Camarasa wanted it.
I think Warnock should rethink it and if Camarasa is the best in training switch it, I know it's different in a game situation, but he seems like he has the right temperament. Penalty takers should practice them in every single training session until it's ingrained in their mind and muscle memory, they need five or six options that they can do every time, I know easy in theory!!!

Warnock has said that if we ever have another penalty Camarasa will take it!

Thank you
I heard what the manager said but wasn't convinced Ralls was the 'official' penalty taker and his comment "if we ever have another penalty Camarasa will take it!" was telling

We don't have an official free kick taker, penalty taker or corner taker and haven't had in a while. Camarasa has started taking the corners and free kicks (one decent effort last night). He should be our set piece man IMO.
