Dave-R Posted October 22, 2021 Share Posted October 22, 2021 It would be unfair I think to even put Bailey on in this game and expect a mountain of work from him and if he doesn't do what's required him becoming a bad guy tonight I can see happening. Do not even know where Watkins and Ings are, what are these two upto because this who Watkins everywhere shutting down opposition like he did last season so far is extinct this one. Our players are going to have to start doing something because so far they are looking like relegation fodder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arsenal though should have been at least 3 or 4 up so it’s not that unjust Yeah, the “clear and obvious” error doesn’t seem to have been a factor here.

tonyh29 Posted October 22, 2021 Share Posted October 22, 2021 Target may or may not have caught the leg but he dives off the non impact leg and that’s what the ref has been sold by, that’s about the 3rd dive from Lacazette That said If Smith doesn’t change shape and players at half time i’d relieve him of duty before the second half kicks off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fouled, you have to actually be impeded. Nothing impedes Lazacette at all. Well, apart from the strong gravitational pull I guess. Lacazatte deliberately placed his foot to be kicked by Targett and he obliged. We’d be screaming for it at the other end (and wouldn’t be awarded it) It’s irrelevant anyway - we deserved to be 3 down at least Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troglodyte Posted October 22, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted October 22, 2021 There's always overreaction on here, and Arsenal are playing well (although they should be 3-4 up but have rushed some attacking opportunities), but we've really been abysmal. The worst I've seen us for a long time. Was just hoping for 1-0 at half time and then seeing how Dean could have changed things. Now I think it's beyond us as the confidence is shot to bits - would obviously love to be wrong though. Watkins, McGinn and Konsa all really poor, and they're guys who are part of our spine that we can usually rely on. The one positive... I still bloody love Emi M. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thunderball Posted October 22, 2021 Share Posted October 22, 2021 Watkins is having no joy, I see him off for Bailey if Smith has the balls. Tuenzebe isn’t as good as Hause so why he is playing god only knows, he seems to have regressed since he was last here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ferguson1 Posted October 22, 2021 Share Posted October 22, 2021 Needs a couple of changes now, a third after 60 minutes and salvage what we can, even if it’s a bit of pride. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Digavilla Posted October 22, 2021 Share Posted October 22, 2021 Smith has been relying on Grealish all this while , just checked his past results without him , it’s no surprise we are where we are … 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodders0223 Posted October 22, 2021 Share Posted October 22, 2021 Bringing on a half fit Bailey again to rescue a dead game. Bruceyesque He's making bizarre decisions. Let's pray he doesn't breakdown. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But all other things being equal - you rarely get 10 out of 11 playing so poorly. 100% - poor across the team. Off day? Possibly. Not sure we can take any more off days anytime soon though.

djdabush Posted October 22, 2021 Share Posted October 22, 2021 What's the point in the whole farce of the referee going over to the monitor when they always change their decisions, no matter what they are shown. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JAMAICAN-VILLAN Posted October 22, 2021 Share Posted October 22, 2021 To be fair, changes should have been made from the half time, of the first half. It was so obviously going only one way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tommo_b Posted October 22, 2021 Share Posted October 22, 2021 McGinn has been the worst player on the pitch today so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genie Posted October 22, 2021 Share Posted October 22, 2021 I’d love to know what happened before the game. Several of the players started with major chips on their shoulders. I was thinking they were so lucky to get to HT just 1 down. Change it and you never know. The luck ran out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

avfc1982am Posted October 22, 2021 Share Posted October 22, 2021 Axel off for Sanson, Ollie off for Bailey, Buendia off for anyone. And I'd knock targett out for the additional concussion injury and replace him with young Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
