Match Thread Arsenal v Leicester

[M17TT C]

Back 3/5 looks very shakey and Bennett certainly not the quickest/sharpest.

 

[FOX Franks]

And nearly another

We’re all over the place

But we’re playing the mighty Arsenal don’t forget, all of their players are amazing and frankly we’re lucky to be on the same pitch. Arsenal, Arsenal, Arsenal.

 

[Brown Nose]

And nearly another

We’re all over the place

Back three at Arsenal makes zero sense to me. It's inviting their strength onto our weakness.

Their two wide forwards are playing in the space vacated by our non existent full backs. We're also out-numbered in midfield. It's ****ing horrific tactics. Just a punt on our forwards doing better than theirs.

Idiot management.

 

[homer]

It’s a shitfest at the back

Change it now Brendan or we’ll be three down by half time

 

[Lako42]

Their movement is ****ing killing our defenders

 

[M17TT C]

So much space for Arsenal down our right.

We'll switch back to our usual system at HT - Barnes on for Nachos and maybe Fuchs at LB.

 

[Graz]

Arsenal's front 3 now seem to be playing almost man for man against our back 3 - Auba up against Bennett, Saka against Soyuncu and Lacazette against Evans.

They're pushing up against the 3 centre backs and starting to overrun us when they come forwards.

Need to get Ndidi and Justin helping them out more.

 

[City Fan]

Bennett looks like he’s running through treacle. Soyuncu very shaky.

 

[Graz]

Great stop Kasper! Soyuncu is having a mare.

 

[City Fan]

This is shite.

 

[popillius]

Could be a cricket score. We look scared shitless.

 

[Lako42]

We're going to get ravaged unless he changes this shape

 

[homer]

Ok, now everyone can see that three at the back isn’t working

Everyone


So ****ing change it

 

[Graz]

Nacho in... But the whistle went.

That's not a foul.

 

[M17TT C]

**** off has that been disallowed!?!

Their player tried to barge Nachos!!

 

[City Fan]

Nacho in... But the whistle went.

That's not a foul.

Clearly is.

 

[Matt_B]

Nacho in... But the whistle went.

That's not a foul.

No surprise

 

[homer]

Clear foul for me

Pity

 

[FOX Franks]

Nacho in... But the whistle went.

That's not a foul.

There’s no way that’s a foul. Shitbags.

 

[Graz]

I'd take Bennett off for Fuchs and switch to a back 4

Suspect we will see it at the break, but got to hope they don't score again before then!

Have to keep Nacho on with Vardy though
