Think Hourihane definitely could help us in certain matches, but then we would need to have a "horses for courses" mentality - which is not really Smith's style. Anyway good to see our loans doing well - will mean we get some value when they transfer out.
-
Can we please stop it with the "don't change a winning side" nonsense! Our setup was poor to begin with against this opponent.
-
Didnt think it was a bad half, but our midfield just cannot seem to create anything. Ramsey is the obvious choice to be replaced 2nd half.
-
Wish Smith changed it up a little to keep the players hungry. Positive is we have a decent looking bench.
-
Going into the season most of us would be ecstatic to sign him for around £30m+ and after the first few matches maybe even £40m+. Too many question marks now...
-
This game will tell a lot about where we are as a team. A European level side should comfortably win such matches.
-
Great result. Good tactical adjustments by Smith. A bit concerned about our inability to win second balls and hold on to possession.
-
Good half. AEG and Nakamba playing really well. AEG could have easily had one more. Feel Ramsey looks a bit lightweight out there - maybe bring in Samson for him in the 2nd half. Still frustrating is that we still seem to lose most second and 50/50 balls.
-
They've been bypassing him and not thinking about him lately.
-
yes, but it's been about 4-5 recent matches where this is happening.
-
By no means am I comparing us to Sheffield United - we have way more talent then they ever did, but I feel similar to them at the end of last season and this one, our formula has been found-out by opposing teams. We really need to change things up tactically and in terms of personnel. Smith so far has not shown flexibility.
-
Lucky to get a point. We are consistently losing second and 50/50 balls. Squad needs rotating.
-
Teams are tactically better setup for us. We need to adjust accordingly.
-
A silver lining in Luiz's under-the-radar performances this year is that it may mean Man City will not take-up his option.
-
Think we are due a game where we are on the front foot. Feel the Arsenal victory and the one week gap between matches will give us a big lift. We will win this 0-2.
