Persevere with this system ???????????????????????

Villa did after they lost 0-8 have they got better ?

They haven't scored and conceded 7 in two home games

December is effing WORSE than November

We simply can't be conceding the amount of goals we are, yes better going forward but at an equally massive expense at the back.  We all wanted better attacking options but my god our defending in the Fulham, Stoke, City, Man Utd and Arsenal games in the last month has been abysmal. It's clear to see the defence only looks good when it has protection from the team but 433 is not doing that at the moment.

I think we're dealing with a fairly 1 dimensional manager and if the alternative is that 442 anti-football hoofing the ball to Ba and Cisse then I know what my choice is. We desperately need some key players back now but we should have been playing this way all season. Defensive vulnerabilities are becoming more and more damaging now we're not getting away with it too, signings are needed.

That's probably the decent thing is that it's highlighted the need for defenders mainly CB and RB.  I wait with abraded breath what we'll do in January though....

We need new defenders, we look ok in attack atm, it's tiredness arsenal were better than I've seen them this season (at attacking). I'm less upset by this tbh as I was by Southampton, Swansea, Stoke etc, we bounced back from hideous defeats from Spurs and West Brom last season quite quickly

First half we were even and playing ok.

 

Second half up to 80mins we weren't as good but at least had the right score.

 

Last 10+ minutes were a humiliating calamity. I cant even remember the Boumsong era being so bad defensively, we were pathetic.

 

In conclusion, I dont really know how to view this game. 7-3 certainly flattered them but it all depends on whether we sign 2 defenders in January. Thats why I'm worried.

West Ham put 8 past in in the 80's

 

We had 3 keepers during that game, one being Waddle or Beardsley.

 

 

beardsley- Thomas? and.......?

 

Chris Hedworth, I can't remember why he went off though.
