If this true surely has to be the end for him Smith can't be playing players who are not arsed

You might get the odd mistake but if we play like at the start of the season you can forgive it

I actually think our bad form has coincided with mings not dictating the play or bringing the ball out from the back after he got hounded for his last mistake

Only thing missing from the last 15 minutes was a kienan goal maybe next time

You say he is crap which stats did you get that from

Well what's your solution then cause not working without Jack also tuchel uses this as well and they are 2nd best team in league since he took over just because some shit manager uses it doesn't mean it's a bad formation

I think we probably should change tactics when Jack isn't there Maybe 3 5 2 Martinez Konsa engels/hause mings Cash Nakamba luiz targett Mcginn Watkins Davis I think with this it also makes us more dangerous on set pieces because of extra height

That's the point he would have 2 assists if he makes the right decision but he didnt

To honest it's all a moot point Elmo had the back post covered he just let the ball go, if he is not sure that there is nobody behind he should be clearing it, if he does that everything else is irrelevant

Mcginn was bad for the goal but all the blame goes to Elmo( unless your sure there is nobody behind you ) you have to play the ball not leave and hope nobody's there

Probably needs a rest but when you only have one striker what do you do

Might be time for Hayden Kessler I like Elmo but this season seems to be a step to far, a good signing for the money and time but times up now I'm afraid

Yes but you have to pick a team that makes him more influential than he already is

I really thought we had found stumbled onto something but as soon as ross was back Anwar was left out also because it is so interchangeable they can't double up on jack

Just wondering what do people think our best team shape and personal is When you look at the way we played at the start of the season to now what had changed? To me at the start of the season we had Barkley grealish and trez with mcginn and luiz behind, I think for Barkley to play we need trez instead of Bert to do the donkey work To me our best spell was December when Jack, Anwar and Bert were playing with mcginn and luiz in behind, that attacking trio is more interchangeable thus causing more issues for the defensive team To me we can't have Bert and ross at the same time as they are both luxury players If you were to pick our strongest 11 what would it be?

Funnily enough we could do with him now that the goals have dried up for his set pieces We really need someone to step up in this facet of play maybe sanson can take one If you look at the end of last season it was set plays we were most likely to score from

I must have missed this when did he miss another sitter

Think i would like to see a midfield while grealish is out Luiz Nakamba Mcginn Sanson/Ramsay traore Like a Christmas tree formation

I understand your point and agree from the start What is they say about doing the same thing over and over but expecting a different result Anyway good night have a good evening

Again as I said before I'm not saying start him but if it's not working during the game like today we need a plan b not swapping like for like player's when the opposition clearly have our number on that front At least make the opposition think about something different

How do you know he wouldn't get more chances as we have never tried it until we do we'll never know That's my point we are doing the same thing with no end result why not try a plan b as they say

Shouldn't be in the squad next week after his reaction to being taken off today I wouldn't mind if was playing well but he looks a guy that doesn't give a **** and is happy getting his money and thinks he is Billy big bollocks

Why not how many chances did he have today playing through the middle or when was his last chance for that matter must have been the arsenal goal which was defensive mistake by them

Unfortunately but that is what we have at the moment so you have to work out a system that works Our set pieces our woeful this is definitely somewhere we need to improve because you can get cheap easy goals this way, this is why hourihane was important last year for us as he is the only one who can take one, maybe sanson can improve us here
