Should be interesting.
We all know what Arsenal are. Immensely capable defensively, which they build on with moments of creativity. They generally do just enough. 1-0, 2-0, 2-1. They don't hand out too many batterings.
So, if we ship 4 or 5 as plenty expect us to do, we'll know that we're utterly shite.
The plan is clear enough by now. We set up to be hard to beat, forsaking creativity. Fatawu & Ricardo often sacrificed. It's a plan of sorts. But it doesn't ****ing work.
We can't set up that defensively, because we're ****ing shit at it. We're always likely to concede & we never look like scoring more than once. It doesn't take a maths genuius to figure out it's not going to be easy to win a game from there.
Everton, from significantly less possession, had more shots than us & more on target. We managed 2 in the whole game. We should have lost.
& Everton are shite.
I'm not saying we should start tomorrow but after that we really need to look at being more adventurous or we're going to just slowly die. Surely Cooper must know this. If we carry on the same way, with the same results, he'll be gone by Xmas, along with his chance of ever getting another PL job.
Sort it out you ****.
