30 minutes in and our only effort has been Maddison’s shot from about forty yards when the keeper was off his line...
 
Praet stood clear in the middle of the park with no one at all to pass to

Desperate stuff
 
Changes needed Brendan. At the minute we're lucky to be level and it feels like a matter of time before Arsenal get the breakthrough they deserve..
 
Bad back heel from Praet in a positive looking move. Gave it away, Tielemans booked in trying to recover it.

Our defensive is plan is working - I think. Arsenal getting in and around our box much more than I'd like but we haven't conceded yet.

We need to be more efficient in possession when going forwards though. Not really breaking at pace and quite wasteful passing so far.
 
Get Vardy on for Fuchs. Justin at LB and Barnes out wide to give us some sort of threat out there. Tielemans and Praet have been poor so far, Arsenal just bossing the midfield.
 
This bollockless lineup is clearly not working. We’re lucky not to be behind, and the Arsenal goal is inevitable.

100% guarantee zero changes at half time.

If we don’t lose this 1-0 I’ll be amazed.
 
**** me

It’s been five across the back. Five across the middle

Holy Jebus

There won’t be any changes. We didn’t make any at half time when 2-0 down at home against West Ham.
 
About what Rodgers expected I’d have thought. He admitted against Man City that he doesn’t like to play this way, but that he needed to find a different way to approach these games. Fair enough.

To BNs earlier point, Justin is so far up the pitch. The cross field ball behind the two wing backs is hurting us a bit, but largely it’s gone the way we’ve planned for.

I’d expect Vardy for Praet relatively soon.
 
My favourite thing about this formation is when we get in their half and Barnes drops deep so we've got no player near their box. Superb stuff so far. Perhaps they get bored to death around the 60min mark and we run riot.
 
Well, I was fully expecting us to employ the same approach as at Man City but we just haven't.

Very odd formation and way of playing. I guess 0-0 at half time is a good result considering.

Justin and Fuchs on the left worries me no end though.
 
We all knew this was a daft starting lineup if we are being honest with ourselves.

Agreed, Arsenal have hardly cut us apart. Vardy up front with Barnes, would ensure we offer some threat going forward.
