Popular Post LinekersLugs Posted 14 August 2022 Popular Post Share Posted 14 August 2022 Today I posted a crime report on line following a throughly disgusting act by one of our own during half time a lad in front of us went through the bag of someone else, I had managed to capture a picture of the lad earlier , I thought it was his bag it wasn’t till the end of the game the woman who owned the bag said “my purse and phone are gone” to the absolute helmet who did this mark my words your about to get a hell of a shock when the old bill track you down some of the behaviour yesterday from a small minority in our away end was shocking, why throw beer cups and water bottles at your own fans ? Over all thought we did well in the away end and despite the result we had a great family day out 10 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Nacho Posted 14 August 2022 Share Posted 14 August 2022 The 3 at the back set up was so poor yesterday. The centre halfs were far too wide to the point where it looked like Fofana and Amartey were fullbacks and Evans was the sole centre half. We were essentially playing four at the back but had a man sent off who we didn’t replace. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fox92 Posted 14 August 2022 Share Posted 14 August 2022 Aside from our defenders being dragged all over the place, our midfield was (and is) pathetic. Nobody wants to win a challenge, it is embarrassing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Jakemoore Posted 14 August 2022 Popular Post Share Posted 14 August 2022 The behaviour of our fans has generally been very poor since covid. We have a bunch of (mainly young, and I am only 28 myself) chavs who go to football to start fights which they then don’t really get involved in because they’re all mouth. I’m convinced that there are tests within our fan base who would happily bring back firms and organised pre match fights. Aside from the yobs we also have overly loud negative people who moan about everything on the pitch and off the pitch. The players are shit. Brendan is clueless blah blah blah. I don’t know how people live being so negative and having so much pent up anger. So many of our lot are clearly unhappy in their private lives and use football as a way to vent. 9 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

woznotwos Posted 14 August 2022 Share Posted 14 August 2022 Not watched it because I never can when we lose and I was out during match time. Was Ndidi better with a back 4 as I suspect he would be? Or am I clutching at straws. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Twitcher Posted 14 August 2022 Popular Post Share Posted 14 August 2022 There's no mileage in laying into Danny Ward. He needs support. Yes he made a mistake on one goal. I wouldn't put any of the other three down to him. He also made some good saves. It's too early to be making a judgment. In close play Arsenal were allowed to pass and run through us at ease, and further out we just stood off, as we did against Brentford for their second. There are more pressing areas/issues to focus on. Here's to his first clean sheet next game, if the defence sort themselves out. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First of all let's get things into perspective re Arsenal away. Since 1947 we have won there 4 times yes 4 times. I wasn't expecting too much yesterday. That said, 4 2 in the end wasn't so bad we have had worse results at their place over the years. We competed ok especially 2nd half. It was obvious Arsenal would be we up for it especially with their new signings. Jesus another player who always scores against us. Tighten the defence especially at dead ball situations we will be OK this season. Justin, Maddison and KDH played well for us. Re Supporters especially younger fans. I am not a killjoy I am all for people have a good time however throwing beer around and being smacked off your face on god knows what is not on especially when it makes you act like selfish morons. You must earn great money too cos beer in the ground wasn't cheap so to throw it away is quite frankly unbelievable. Supporters fighting amongst themselves too why? Support the team. Stop being so bloody negative about everything get behind the club and make us proud. 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The priority points system is the issue people are trading tickets to very badly behaved people p1/2 people are buying tickets to games they can’t go to and trading them on It’s Time we started to spot check tickets being used to the name of the person entering the ground anyone found to have sold on an away ticket Should lose all their points ! this practice would end and the trouble makers would be GONE ! it’s a simple solution 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stop being so bloody negative about everything get behind the club and make us proud. We were not even in the game yesterday, anytime we got close to getting in it, Arsenal stepped up a gear and scored again (literally with both kick offs I think?) Asif we're still saying tighten the defence at set pieces and we'll be ok, has that not occurred to Rodgers in the past 30 months? He's obviously not capable of doing so, hence it's a massive weakness in our team. I don't think reality will hit some of our fans until we're close to the relegation zone with 3 or 4 games remaining, which I think is probably likely this season with the way things are going. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LinekersLugs Posted 14 August 2022 Share Posted 14 August 2022 Those slating ward … he made 3 good stops to keep us in the game yes he made a mistake for 3rd goal but overall he has been decent His distribution is much much better than Kaspers was 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

filbertway Posted 14 August 2022 Share Posted 14 August 2022 4 hours ago, st albans fox said: It does have its faults - Eg - xhaka’s goal today has a high xg because he scores from that position 7 times out of 10. So that’s approx 0.7 onto their xg - but it actually deserves very little as a reflection of their creative play because they didn’t create the opening - we did ! but it’s a generalisation tool - nothing more. Did we deserve to score 2 today ? No did arsenal deserve to score 4 today ? possibly but three would have been a better reflection I reckon 2 or maybe 3-0 having watched the game and xg said similar I have seen us play worse I think there's the odd anomalies, the situation today is a perfect example, but way more often than not, it generally reflects what the result should have been. Especially over a long period of time. It's certainly a better indicator of who has played better than the possession stats. I only saw the highlights on MOTD so all I saw from us was the OG and Maddisons goal from a position where you generally wouldn't score from. No shame in losing to that Arsenal team anyway, Arteta and Arsenal seem to be progressing nicely and continuing to build in the right direction. He should have them picking up 70+ points this season, they're a club back on the up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s almost laughable that everyone loses their sh1t at losing away at arsenal. however, the way we conceded a) from a corner b) from a keeper error c) within two mins of scoring ourselves on both occasions is the problem a because after seeming to be fairly solid against a Brentford side who are decent from set plays, we failed again yesterday b because the last thing ward needed was an error. It’s one thing not making some of the amazing saves that kasper occasionally did but an error .. c. Further illustration of our soft mental attitude. To do it once is poor but twice - ffs ! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weller Wing Posted 14 August 2022 Share Posted 14 August 2022 Could and should have been a bigger thrashing that would have exposed how bad and uncompetitive we've become. When Wes won the ball in the right back position, there was absolutely no out ball ,down the wing in the 1st half, so it kept coming back at us. Poor tactics and bad in game management by Brendan and the players. People talking of this current squad pushing for Europe are totally deluded. Inexperienced keeper,best defender wants out,others defenders are either poor or injury prone,midfielders (except KDH) weak and out of form,ageing striker and his replacement isn't quite there yet. I'm looking at the other end of the table,unfortunately Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
