Arsenal match thread - Sunday 28th at 12.00

[cropstonfox]

makes you wonder if we would be better going back to 100% grass pitches.Are the synthetic strands getting caught up in studs ?

just a thought?

[Hales]

I feel sick about Barnes, have a really bad feeling he is out for the season. Get Fofana, madders, Perez and Praet in that cryochamber and back asap!

[TheUltimateWinner]

Did Vardy look like he wanted the ball on that break?

There has to be some investigation into why our injury list from the last couple of seasons has been so consistently bad. When did we last have a full ensemble of players INJURY-FREE?

 

Is it the training intensity and methods? Can't be the fixture schedule because we had the same problem last season without European competitions. With the exception of Vardy, I can't even put it down to age. This is the youngest squad we have seen in years, brimming with quality, and should be in the fitness of their lives.

 

Unbelievably bad luck with injuries, yes, but there has to be a reason for this. Especially when you compare our dire straits against Arsenal, who are have a virtually-full squad primed for action.

It might be something to do with a certain pandemic and a busy than normal schedule. Just luck imo ACLs in particular are just luck.

[trabuch]

Come on Leicester! There's a point to be had here.

[fox_up_north]

while it's been an abysmal watch after the first 5 minutes, our injury list is pretty awful. 
if you offered me 6th and a proper pre season, I'd take it. 

[majaco]

The injury situation is devestating

Suprised your bail conditions allow you on any forum.

Oh dear, you've had a mare with that one. Cringe

[AyewJoking]

I hate this. Go sideways and backwards then show a bit of desperation with 5 minutes left.

[The People's Hero]

Arsenal doing what we did now. See if we can get a goal and make them panic

Not every team. And how do you know they're not as fatigued? It's quite clear to see, in my opinion. 

 

I think Rodgers has had to change the set up to make up for all the absences. 

The way we’ve played last few games completely on the back foot says its more tactical than physical, we looked exactly the same after the 3 month break last season.

[Haywood_6]

Top 4 chances have just gone up in smoke.

[RowlattsFox]

C'mon boys just show a bit if fight in this last half hour. Whether we lose it not, finish strongly. 

 

However we look tired, low on confidence and feeling sorry for ourselves. 

[ozvaldo]

Top goalscorer is out now. 
Current No.9’s main asset has gone. 
Playmaker’s out. 
Everyone’s dropping and we didn’t bring in a replacement Head Physio. 
There’s literally no intensity. 
It’s looking grim.

I thought that. It was a weird run he made away from the space.

[sdb]

Sorry but looking forward I see absolutely zero positives here. This game is gone and the next few weeks will be defenders and reserves.

[Tazfox]

Just feel like as soon as we go behind we honestly never look like getting back in to games. So easy to defend against when we have to chase a game

Understandable when you keep seeing your team mates stretcherd off

No, there isn't, there really isn't.  I'll personally give you 100/1.  This game is done 

[StanSP]

Now would be a great time for another 3-3 epic comeback against Arsenal

Rather have Levi Porter.

Levi porter was class

Did you moan about them after being Arsenal, Spurs, Chelsea, Man City and Liverpool? 

 

Or is this another reactionary comment? 

This arsenal team are woeful. no way they can be compared to the list you put.

[Sly]

We've got to be realistic here. 

 

We've been decimated by injuries.

 

We're at the point where we could have actually done with Demari Gray and Slimani. 

 

We'll be looking at the likes of Pennent, Reghba, Leshebela and Tavares to step up soon.

 

This injury crisis is worse than last season, we've never been at a place where we've put our best 11 on the pitch.

[Corky]

And now I'm Forever Blowing Bubbles plays on the fake crowd noise.
