Where it all went wrong:
Jorginho coming on and Chelsea abandoning the 3 at the back.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
This
Chelsea took control of the game in aeround the 36th minute and it was clear even on how the first half ended that there had beem a momentum shift.
Chelsea dominated the 2nd half without creating many clear cut chances, but leading up to the first goal were all but camped outside the Arsenal penalty area and were starting to knock increasingly loudly on the Arsenal door. It felt like an equaliser was coming in some form and it did in the end.

The changed that Lampard made meant only Chelsea had more of the ball but you havent troubled us. Hardly a chance to score. We were in full control of it all.
Again, if Jorghino didnt come away with his foul on Torreira in the built up to 1-1 and Leno didnt make that mistake Chelsea wouldnt have won the game. Simple as that. Chelsea was poor.

Disagree, you were camped in your own pen area the more the 2nd half went on. Abraham had already missed two good chances, goal was inevitable and it proved to be the case.

Torreira was also fouled for the first goal. It was pretty clear, not sure why it was allowed.
The game also highlighted our fitness issues. These waaankers really need to be whipped into shape.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Yeah, the VAR replay seemed to ignore that.
It is hard to change style half way through a season to a far more uptempo one. Even harder if you do it during the hectic Christmas period. Even harder when you have a lot of injuries and inexperienced kids filling in roles that they aren't used to.
If Emery had gone during the last international break and Arteta had come straight in we would no doubt be far healthier in the league.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I thought Torreira went down to easy. It looked like both were tussling, and he went down like a bag of the brown stuff. Gotta be stronger when defending.

Yup agree we were too deep in our half. As I said you had more possession but didnt really trouble us.
If Leno didnt make the mistake you wouldnt have won the game. Simple as that.

It went all wrong when Leno made that individual mistakes and Jorghino fouled Torreira before.
If Leno didnt make that mistake, we wouldnt have lost the game.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Not sure what your point is? Leno has been pathetic for a while, yet the usual bunch of Arsenal worshipers always try to cover for him, some claim he is still "learning"?
Why the hell is he starting in the PL is he doesn't know how to play his position?
Yeah I don't really get the 'if Leno hadn't made an error' comment. He is part of the team. It's like saying if our defender had made the tackle, or if our striker had scored his easy chance.

No.4 is redundant since the player Jorginho fouled shouldn’t have been on the pitch by your own logic. Luiz should have been off too
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Ridiculous stuff. You're digging out excuses since you well know that you're lucky with a point let alone three points. I am not surprised the Premier League referees have been dreadful.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
So you're saying Gwendoozy shouldn't have been booked for pulling Abraham back in the box?
Should have been a 2nd yellow, penalty and then Gwendoozy's not on the pitch for Jorginho to foul!!

Just a fact. Tried to explain why we lost the game. It's my view and an answer to the OP's question.
The fouls/cards are irrelevant really. Overwhelming factor was the substitution. As soon as Ozil hard to work for it against resistance, he bailed on us as always and both control and momentum swung to Chelsea. Ref never sent Gwen off because he knew Ozil had already left us down to 10 men.
