JB Posted October 22, 2021 Share Posted October 22, 2021 Neville bang on - that performance and hesitancy to change the slightest thing was disturbing. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr_Dogg Posted October 22, 2021 Share Posted October 22, 2021 This is worryingly poor stuff from us. Martinez the only player performing. We only have 3 attacking players on the pitch, you are asking to be attached with the formation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave-R Posted October 22, 2021 Share Posted October 22, 2021 Just now, OutByEaster? said: A couple of things I guess, first one that we shouldn't ignore - Arsenal have been brilliant - they've got everything right. For us, I think the shape is wrong - and for me that's not about four or five at the back - it's becoming clearer and clearer week by week that Ings and Watkins aren't a pair, they're an either/or decision. No use playing two up front if that's not where the ball is ever going to be - neither of them is a better winger than El Ghazi, neither of them is a better midfielder than Sanson - they're sharing a role and it's making us look like we're playing with ten men. We've looked awful. I thought we might hang on for 1--0 at half time and change things, but this one looks over now - no complaints about that, we've been completely outplayed. 14 first half shots from them - none from us - that tells its own story. Arsenal haven't been brilliant but we have been absolutely retarded so far. Unable to string more than 3 passes together. Final third balls are none existent and creativity. We are so clueless and for me Mcginn is a massive reason we are behaving like donkeys and making mistakes because he alone has caused so many of them.

KAZZAM Posted October 22, 2021 Share Posted October 22, 2021 Axel needs to come off thats 100% the 3 at the back clearly doesnt work. And i would argue Axel is largely to blame as Hause seem's ok there. I would bring Sanson on and play a 4-3-3 with Ollie on the left. Then later bring Bailey on for Ollie.

Zero7 Posted October 22, 2021 Share Posted October 22, 2021 Just now, MackHaakon said: It's evident that this formation is crushing the players confidence. As a back five they do not know when to stay our when to go, enormous hesitation and space for them. This needs to stop or we'll be in a relegation battle. It will be a relegation fight as smith will have to admit he was wrong with this formation and he’s far too stubborn for that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Salad Posted October 22, 2021 Share Posted October 22, 2021 In all seriousness gents that half has me worried about our current mental state. Just look so disinterested and not into the game at all.I understand probably be a let down after what happened against Wolves but we really need to man up and get over it if thats the case. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kbdrum88 Posted October 22, 2021 Share Posted October 22, 2021 Right now it's tuanzebe for traore Buendia for Bailey And target for young Go martinez Cash konsa mings young Luiz mcginn Bailey ings traore Watkins All of sudden your creating width unshacling mcginn, and ings I think has a better eye as a 10 and to feed off scraps Watkins doesn't get now he's free as there dragged outside to our wide threat. But tbh could easily go mings over tuanzebe off only the fact he used to that 4 he stayed for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spoony Posted October 22, 2021 Share Posted October 22, 2021 At the game. Even worse in person. This is Smith out for me tbh. So flat. Literally gave nothing. They’re all awful except Martinez Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lerner's Driver Posted October 22, 2021 Share Posted October 22, 2021 In a word, we are a mess. Others might think salvation is just round the corner because (and on this I agree), we have some good players, but we are not in this game at all. We look like relegation fodder.
