Mission accomplished so far. Now for JV

[foxile5]

Just turned a promising attack into possession at the back. ****ing brilliant.

Midfield is just... creativeless

Just so lacking in ideas it’s frightening. They all look terrified to pass forwards.

There’s no one to pass to, three attacking players are all out of position.

It's just a matter of time. Jeez it's like Rodgers is playing chicken. 

I'm not sure if you know what playing chicken is. You have to be brave to do that. This is very conservative.

[lee7]

Underwhelming! Literally offer no attacking threat in the slightest.

[StanSP]

One thing I've noticed Arsenal doing which other teams haven't is they're targeting and putting a man on Mendy. A lot of our passing can go through him and they've nullified that. They put pressure on immediately. 

 

How is Lacazette not booked yet?! 

[MPH]

i can not stand it when we have the box on the edge of their area and some how several passes later we take it back to the half way line.

Haha he can't really win can he? Renown over the years for refusing to back down against the best sides and often gets slaughtered in the process. Tries something different (however peculiar and he's abused for showing fear). I think we ought to play somewhat differently vs better sides away from home, like we did with devastating efficiency vs Man City but its about finding the right balance.

He can’t win?  Spot on son. 
 

personally I think he has pretty much always shown fear against bigger teams with us. I don’t know, I never usually do, but something is amiss. We blitzed the first half of last season but then we have literally fallen off a cliff. First 3 games of the season gave us hope again, but it has been back to weird ball more often than not. It will be a strange season - possibly as strange as when we won it.

Flat back 5 and still they get out wide and get crosses in 

We are not even pressing with such defensive set up

[Dames]

Just now, Ric Flair said:

Vardy on for Fuchs at half time and then Ünder for Praet on 60-65 mins

I wish he would do that but absolutely no chance he’s taking a defender off if its still 0-0. 

[moseeds]

I don't understand how a team that won several games is so devoid of confidence so quickly. Serious motivational issues in the squad which scuppered last season's champions league certainty. Very strange.

[kingfox]

Sideways, backwards, sideways, backwards.

 

What a shit boring fvcking tactical setup.

Not a lot they can do without a forward to pass to....

Stifled em well and power on the bench ...   all going to plan ...   good half.

[Blanchflower78]

At least against Man City we broke and had a few chances. This is the most depressing weve looked in a long time.

 

[adejo92]

Cant wait for the no changes at half time. Brendan pretending to be thrilled with this dross just to justify his tactical failure...again..

[LestaAl]

So sick of us passing the ball around the box, then we run out of ideas and either play it back to midfield, or loose the ball. No one in the box as per usual, and were just trying to walk it into the back of the net!
