I think Stones getting worked by Trossard contributed to his hamstring going.

Even if he's only out for a few weeks you just know once it goes again in March that will be his season over.

It’s because he has to play every game because Phillips is absolutely shit .

Agreed

Don't feel this tactic with Lewis in the middle is working for us in this game. Kev is to far forward so were missing his drives and through balls, and as tidy as Lewis plays he's young and inexperienced and expecting him to be creative against this Arsenal team is expecting way to much. I'd much prefer go back to a back four and think it would also help with trying to stop Trossard.

Lack of movement in front of him unfortunately.

It is but our boys should be looking for the ball and the lack of mobility in the midfield is worrying

Stones has been our best defender for a while now. Ffs get a grip.

Every season fuckin injured

Arsenal have 2 good wide players, we have 2 second choice full backs playing, Rico is one for the future but big games like this are for the experienced players. Stones of injured again. Players need a run of games to find form, but ours are recovering from injuries. Moving Rico inside gets in de bruynes spaces. Our full backs can’t play high enough, too many backwards passes.

 

[bluemoon32]

Come on City

 

[jaiguruKun]

Alvarez for Grealish.Bernardo for Mahrez should be the changes.

Alvarez for Gundo or KDB. Grealish has played ok.

 

[jimmygrimblesboots]

Credit to Arteta , six changes and his team have not dropped from their usual standard , they have a system that suits their energetic players , we either match it or use our experience to play around them , KDB & Gundo have to get hold of this game pronto.
