Arsenal at home Sunday 31st August 430pm

Yep. Risk averse. Like watching Italian footy in the 90’s without the defenders being able to scythe players down and get away with it.

We’ve got to offer more - something a touch off with what we are trying to do tactically.

hopefully we can get it together, these are not a great side at all. Bunch of cloggers, unfortunately we aren't playing with any sort of cohesion or game plan. A better 2nd half is a must.

[Buzzo]

We need to get the crowd in the game.

Yep, like taking Tony Pullis methodology and putting £1bn and a load of ‘science’ into it.

It feels like there is a huge gap between the attack and the rest of the team and they can’t really connect. Wirtz sitting in the middle but can’t do much as everyone is so far away.

Agreed.

It’s really not clear to me what our style of play is here. Wirtz and Ekitike both passengers j t hat half

Hopefully it’s due to some tactics from Arteta and Slot uses his halftime magic to work it out

We need to get Wirtz on the ball in and around their box and we are miles away from being able to do that at the moment

[Tatterdemalion]

that was a dodgy pass across the back by Szobo there. Half a yard from being caught out.

[Kenneth]

Konate should be heading that 40 yards but it went passed him to their player.

[Kenneth]

We pass it around the back, get it to the full back wide and he has nobody around him. It's a tactical mess. We're waiting for some individual genius.

[BootRoom]

Rush of blood from Grav when we are in a rare good position.

[Buzzo]

Martinelli goes down as per.

[Kenneth]

This is actually quite annoying to watch. We got wirtz the ball 25 yards out and nobody was moving. What kind of goal are we trying to score? Are we trying? Are we just trying to keep it level and then unlease rio late on?

There is no point buying Isak if we are playing like this on purpose, he won't get a sniff.

[BootRoom]

This game is torture, but it will 10 times worse if they go ahead.

[ric.williams]

merino there. embarrassing

[Buzzo]

Much better - Wirtz with a good shot.

Hugo offside.

[Buzzo]

Jones on for Macca

[danperkins]

Close, unlucky.
