Like I said…..

We’ll score today I think, BUT WE CONCEDE TOO MANY GOALS

Both Thomas and Amartey have been shocking imo

Maddison has been infinitely better than Tielemans and Soumare today controlling midfield. Maddison absolutely isn't the problem today.

He can't play a 5 yard pass

You know I am not concerned about our forwards , they usually get the job done. We need clean sheets ,even a 0-0 draw would be something.


It’s this, for some reason our defence has turned to garbage this season.

 

We are second worse in the league for clean sheets and have let in 17 in our first 10 matches. Arsenal second in the league for clean sheets and should manage this game out from here.

First goal comes from a corner after Soumare is fouled on the half way line but no free kick given, second is a ricochet. Yeah, we weren't great first 20 minutes, but it wasn't the sh*tshow being presented.

When he does, he's a certainty for the next England squad

Armartey hasn’t been the worst defender today.

Good management from Brendan. Backing Thomas for a stormer today 

While I don't think hes done anything wrong to much, I'd have to pull either him or Castagne off at HT, switch to either 4-3-3 or 4-4-2 and bring Ndidi on to give us a bit more out of possession through the centre of the pitch 2nd half. Get Maddison on the ball more 30 yards out.

Got to change the system here. It's causing us our own problems both in attack and defence. Arsenal started really well but they fact they appeared so dominant was down to our complete lack of urgency.

I think Soumare has been decent so far this season. I'm not sure why people are getting on to him so early. He's not like N'didi of course but he is also not the same type of player..

Not as bad a Thomas who then passed the Ball to Smith Rowe to score.

Thing is Thomas knows there’s a player there behind him so needs to get a foot on it. Should have put more of a foot on it mind you 😂

Where is the pressing and intensity we saw against Man U? Baffling.

 

The problem is that to make 352 work you need top level full backs. Poor Thomas simply doesn't have the physically and speed needed for the role at this stage in his development. Always feared that Ric being out would create a problem. Need to change the system second half. 

Its a little harder against a team with a midfield

He reminds me of Dombele at Spurs. 

Yes exactly, On their day can look great, But we need Soumare to get going,  be aggressive, move quicker and push forward with the Ball to create space for others.

He missed one pass, which the defence had so much time to recover from.

He's won free-kicks, looked to get forward and actually created a chance or two.

Tielemans and Soumare have been sloppy all game and completely overrun and not controlled the game at all. They are the ones losing us the midfield, not Maddison.

This and Daka for Vardy 


Wouldn’t make a difference. We can’t break down Arsenal to get the ball through to our strikers, and they will just sit back and defend now. We’re not going to catch them on the counter any more today

Well it is Halloween season and this is frightening

 

I still think if we can nick the next goal we can put ourselves back in with a shout

 

Such a shame we couldn’t sneak one before H/T

 

What is scaring me the most is I don’t rate this Arsenal side as a top 6 side but we look like a bottom half side

Posted

Why on earth are we playing a formation that Ricardo makes work when he’s not available?

 

This must be one of the slowest starting 11s we’ve ever fielded, we’re basically playing walking football.

No he hasn’t. Thomas has with Big Dan not far behind 

Stop defending him all the time. Our goals conceded column is shocking
