Smal

Fraser pissed off about being subbed?

Slightly worries that Cornet will have acres to play in.

Fucking hell, not at all used to us playing such attacking line ups. The thought of having a dodgy back 4 and those 5 ahead of them fills me with anxiety but maybe it shouldn't.

does that include creating chances for the other team

joey pls... you've watched Newcastle the past 2 years. We do this eleventy times a game.

Think he’d be great too. We need more high energy players who can press and want to play forward. I don’t think he’d be coming here purely as a mercenary either as there’s a good chance he makes the WC squad if he does as well as he did at West Ham.

Hayden didn't do himself any favours with his appearance in the last game. Genuinely awful cameo. 5 passes attempted with a 0% completion, no interceptions, no tackles, 1 foul

Not so sure about that. Vs Brentford. Bear in mind that we switched to a flat back four at some point in the second half so the wing back average position is affected. Murphy and Ritchie’s position was in advance of the two midfielders. It was definitely not a 5 imo. It’s the only formation we can play that allows ASM to sack off defending.

Yeah, not arguing with that at all I just like his… balls.

I love him. Calling out Carragher live on TV is class even though he’s obviously mental.

Honestly think Arsenal are set up really well. Really good shape in attack and defence. Their recruitment has just been disastrous though

Listening to Michael Carrick talk about football doesn’t give me much hope for his future prospects. Sounds like such a PFM.

Some absolute tragedies

He looks depressed

Hayden’s given a genuine 1/10 performance here

Joelinton must be up there for most interceptions in a game this season

Schar

He is literally playing midfield on his own to be fair

I know it’s difficult with 10 men but we need to leave a player up the pitch like. They’re playing very high and we have pace up top.

Only good thing that can come out of this now is Lewis having a good game and taking Ritchie out of the team.

Just hope whoever takes Ritchie’s place has a good game

We definitely played a back 4. We only went 3-4-3 when we went 2 down.

Dubravka Krafth Fernandez Schar Murphy Shelvey Hayden Almiron Wilson Joelinton ASM We need a link between midfield and attack so I think Jo has to be central.

Think he'd based his season on DCL being in the team tbh. He's been out for ages now.

We didn’t play with a back 3 until we went 2-0 down today.
