Shakespeare and Smith are struggling there bulls off with this formation. The change seems to have come in now Danks is here so maybe he's the brains behind it.

I really hope Smith comes under massive pressure after this game, he doesn't have a clue and picks this awful formation every week. The game has finished now IMO and it will be three defeats in a row. Hope he gets sacked, useless. I haven't seen us play this badly since Alex McLeish was manager.

rbcuk Posted October 22, 2021 Share Posted October 22, 2021 Looks like Bailey and el ghazi coming on, bit to late smith! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillanousOne Posted October 22, 2021 Share Posted October 22, 2021 We carried on the same ponderous terrible play we showed in the last 10 minutes Vs Wolves. No leadership, no confidence, what does Dean say to these plays to get absolutely zero response? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bobzy Posted October 22, 2021 Share Posted October 22, 2021 1 minute ago, VillaCas said: Behave. It was a penalty. Lacazette played for it but Targett was daft enough to fall for it. He’s been shocking No way in a million years any ref anywhere would blow up the split second the penalty was taken we've been terrible. One of the worst halves I’ve seen from us. We deserve to be 5 down let alone 2. All on Smith. Very clear that this formation didn’t work against Wolves and very clear after 15 mins it wasn’t working here Im a big supporter of Smith but unless he learns quickly he can **** off for me Targett has indeed been shocking, but that's a great challenge with a huge collapse from Lacazette. To be fouled, you have to actually be impeded. Nothing impedes Lazacette at all. Well, apart from the strong gravitational pull I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have to say this is a peno I would be livid if we don't get that if it happened the other way round. It's definitely 532. We're getting totally overrun in midfield.

OutByEaster? Posted October 22, 2021 Moderator Share Posted October 22, 2021 Again, our inability to retain, generate or maintain any kind of possession is on display. For me I'd have Bailey and Nakamba on for Buendia and Watkins. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AvonVillain Posted October 22, 2021 Share Posted October 22, 2021 Can we stop arguing about whether or not it was a pen, and just agree that Arsenal should be aggrieved at the scoreline. Beyond awful. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lichfield Dean Posted October 22, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted October 22, 2021 2 minutes ago, MCU said: He was playing on whilst waiting for VAR to finish checking. Then he blew to check the screen, not half time. Saw it coming all along. Would have been interesting if VAR checked it and didn’t give a penalty but Arsenal scored in the extra time added. Well, ok, if that's what happened. Not how it was described on radio WM but I guess they could have been wrong about the ref having blown for half time.

jjaacckk91 Posted October 22, 2021 Share Posted October 22, 2021 Lads we would be fuming if we didn't get that penalty if it was the other way round. A lot of things are costing us this game, but 99% of the problems are our own doing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sulberto21 Posted October 22, 2021 Share Posted October 22, 2021 Look at all those zeroes she said lol. It doesn't matter which formation you play if you don't run you're going to spanked. As for the penalty there was a foul on Targett when the initial cross came in but that's a genuinely shocking performance. Maybe we can't play in front of crowds. We need some players with big balls in the second half otherwise this will get ugly for our goal difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zero7 Posted October 22, 2021 Share Posted October 22, 2021 What on earth was that… 45 minutes of a shit show, too late to change it, we are 2-0. What worries me is dean and Shakespeare, were in discussion for 40 minutes about it not working and did **** all. A blind monkey could see it wasn’t working Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MackHaakon Posted October 22, 2021 Share Posted October 22, 2021 It's evident that this formation is crushing the players confidence. As a back five they do not know when to stay our when to go, enormous hesitation and space for them. This needs to stop or we'll be in a relegation battle. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
