actually fighting back in midfield now but our attack looks pretty hopeless

Kelechi's the only one who gives a fcuk

[HankMarvin]

This woman commentator becomes more grating by the minute

Or with a 2 goal lead, they can take a rest for a bit

True. But that's why it's important for us to capitalise on it while we can. 

[Langston]

Oh great, Darren Fletcher is doing his usual trick of thinking he's the ex-pro rather than the commentator.

[Vacamion]

 

It's like a completely different game to the first 10 minutes.

 

I don't know if it's us picking up,  or Arsenal deciding to stick rather than twist at 2-0 up.

Arsenal are a superb example of how you can’t be successful if you don’t defend well. Look how well they defend now and how they’re reaping the benefits, you can’t keep getting away with it which is our current approach

Any defence would look good against this static approach tbf

If (and it's a big if) we can get a goal it might energise us and knock the stuffing out of Arsenal. Arsenal are notoriously weak minded and have been known to crumble. I've not given up hope.

This will be Palace in reverse.  2-2.

Midlands city on the River Soar

[KFS]

This rat face ref has always ****ed me off

[Heart-Shaped Fox]

We're so passive at the back it's unbelievable. 

 

Distinct lack of movement when we do get the ball too

Thomas is out of his depth today

Our defence again is fookin awful 

Have to agree!
 

Sadly don’t think Thomas is suited to the wingback role. This is one of the issues with our 3atb system. Wingbacks are key and our depth beyond Ricardo, Castagne & JJ is poor.
 

Luke is much better at LB, especially when he’s partnered with Barnes.

Thomas is having a shocker but Soyuncu is a nightmare on the left of three CBs, he gets dragged all over the shop.

No surprise he is ****ing shite

[BecGriff9]

Problem with Thomas is he is just so one footed, anything to his right and he struggles 

[ARTY_FOX]

Worst half of football we've had for a couple of years really. Abysmal. 

 

If it was man utd they'd be saying hes lost the dressing room. 

[ARM1968]

Next goal wins it. Old school. 
 

In reality if we score next I think we will win the game. If they score next I’m going to burn something.

That was the answer to "could be worse" statement I gave earlier. Switched over to NBC

Phenomenal atmosphere as always.

[Kinowe Soorie]

Lots of chat about Youri being world class… just press him, and he’s average.

[Bozman]

They look like they have 3 extra players

 

[SheppyFox]

Daka

Lookman

Barnes 

 

all on, doesn’t matter who comes off looking at this mess
