We just don't have the attacking options in this squad, overly stacked on defensive players. The dippers are the opposite to us

If arsenal are trailing next week at the death will they get 6 minutes?

 

[Segga]

That does not make a shite performance.

If a teams packs its defence, is orgnainsed, disciplined and works hard enough, it can be very difficult to create many clear cut chances.

It was fucking shite

ffs mahrez

Feels like this has been coming for weeks for various reasons:

Injuries have buggered us. Not only no KDB, Stones and Bernardo but Grealish was out for weeks so isn’t fit yet (needs a few games to run into form), Kova was also injured and isn’t yet fit.

A transition period of some of the old guard leaving and a batch of new signings means that players just aren’t used to playing together which isn’t helped by Pep mixing things around a fair bit - and injuries throwing new signings into the mix earlier than some are probably ready for.

Rodri out.

Pep making weird calls today - starting Nunes which I didn’t think would go well, not bringing Gvardiol on, putting Bobb into that difficult midfield, putting Jack on at 80 mins which isn’t enough time for a player coming back to fitness to make any meaningful impact.

Some players just a bit out of form but I’m not so worried about that…form is temporary but class is permanent and all that.

There was just no rhythm or control from the outset. I would like Pep to go as much “back to basics” as possible against Arsenal next week. No idea if Stones or Bernardo will be anywhere near ready but if they are we will need them. Front three of Grealish x Haaland x Foden. Keep it tight and controlled. Arsenal would have murdered us the way we played today.

Hindsight is a wonderful thing it makes us all genuine geniuses. After watching that I would have started Phillips ( I know but I did pick him in the compy- partly because I felt if Nunes or Kovacic picked up an injury we would be fucked for the arsenal game.) we lacked collective courage and kept recycling the same balls to Doku etc won some corners and did nowt. No one prepared to take a risk. Ah well onwards and upwards blues by the way CPIAC.

Piss poor, but it happens. On to the next.

 

[Gordyola]

Arsenal game will be a hard watch without Rodri and with all the injuries. As far as this game goes we lacked creativity, but it probably wont matter come the end of the season.we move on.

Arse won’t sit back with 11 in defence

 

[Dribble]

Ref was shite but a midfield without Rodri, KDB, Gundo, Bernie, Mahrez is difficult to replace

When you include Stones too, today team was like a Carabao Cup selection at home to Leyton Orient.

 

[pee dubya]

On another day it was a turgid 1-0 win. They got the breaks of the ball on both their goals, basically their only chances.

We were shit though, think we missed Bernardo more than Rodri in this game tbh.
