We're playing the football Gerrard wants us to play but we don't have the players for it. We need new midfielders good enough to compete with this style of play. More for the ref who has been an absolute dish mat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Indigo Posted March 19, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted March 19, 2022 (edited) Not really seeing all the issues with the ref tbh. They've been much better, we haven't come close to creating anything and I don't think the ref giving or not giving free kicks 50 yards out is impacting that too much.

KentVillan Posted March 19, 2022 Share Posted March 19, 2022 This 4-3-2-1 doesn’t work. The two tens sit too deep and the striker gets comfortably marked out of the game. Just ends up with the midfield doing too much work. Think we need some natural width & pace from Bailey to pin Arsenal back a bit more and have more of a threat on the counter 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got it wrong with the formation as Ollie is isolated. Partey shouldn't be on the pitch but somehow Mings is booked for a perfectly legimiate tackle. The ref is looking at reactions more than the actual tackles. Saka has been rolling around every time he’s touched and the ref is eating it up. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

claretman Posted March 19, 2022 Share Posted March 19, 2022 Well it's true the ref has been shit but we have been equally as bad. Arsenal are miles better than us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I don't think the ref has really been that awful. Partey should've been booked, Mings shouldn't. That's about it - nothing game changing. We haven't had a single shot in the half. Woeful.

M_Afro Posted March 19, 2022 Share Posted March 19, 2022 Our midfield players are just not at the same level as Arsenal. Until we address that, we will never climb the table. Luis and Ramsey utterly anonymous. McGinn gave the ball away with each of his first two touches and then carried on in that manner for the entire half.

Talldarkandransome Posted March 19, 2022 Share Posted March 19, 2022 Mings tackle on Saka wasn't even a foul, never mind a yellow. Young deffo needs to come off, he can't cope with Saka and needs too much cover. They have a dodgy goalie and we aint even bothered to test him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brumstopdogs Posted March 19, 2022 Share Posted March 19, 2022 (edited) Bit like the first half of the Man City and Man United home games - we just sat off them and watched them play generally. In both of those games in the second half we came out and gave them a game and we'll need to do the same again today. Need to be far more agressive though but obviously be careful not to get red cards! Edited March 19, 2022 by Brumstopdogs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully it's at the ref Arsenal are a better team than us despite the media and the banter sites attempts at ribbing them all year they should get 4th This looks exactly like what it is - 4th in the league vs 9th in mid march, only one team turned up The ref is **** shite but thats same old, if you scream loud enough you win the free kick and saka is great at screaming Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
