ToonArmy1892 Posted August 11, 2019 Share Posted August 11, 2019 I watched the second half, hilarious viewing, literally no midfield for most of it. From Rafa to that Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
loki679 Posted August 11, 2019 Share Posted August 11, 2019 Not there yet tactically obviously but hopefully we'll see some improvement in the next few weeks as the team gels. It's a fixture you could realistically expect to lose / draw but the complete absence of any threat to their goal was troubling. If you're not scoring because you're missing chances it's one thing, not scoring because you're not making the chances in the first place is another. Tough first 10 games, let's see how we get on in the next few weeks. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Edgar Posted August 11, 2019 Share Posted August 11, 2019 That was a perfect second half showing. Someone ask that Telegraph journalist how he intends to defend Bruce in his next tweet. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Infinitely Content Posted August 11, 2019 Share Posted August 11, 2019 Let’s not forget last season we won 1 game out of 12 against the top 6. There’s not a lot to suggest the superior tactics of Rafa would have got us the win there. I’m willing to be patient with the new lads, Joelinton & Almiron will need time to work together, and something has to be worked out between Shelvey & Longstaff, as Longstaff was unrecognisable from last year, whereas Shelvey was integral. So if we’re playing 3, it will need to be organised/defined a bit better. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest reefatoon Posted August 11, 2019 Share Posted August 11, 2019 Disappointing day for the Brucelites. They turned up fully supporting the Bruce almighty resolution and it didn’t quite work out. But they did manage to get a glimpse of that magic 5-1-4 formation that guarantees no goals. Beautiful thing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattoon Posted August 11, 2019 Share Posted August 11, 2019 KaKa[/member] come on man, if you can't see the difference between the beginning of last season where we were solid and well drilled and had a game plan that we stuck to until it became second nature and the results inevitably came in and today's absolute amateur hour then there's no hope for you. I know you like to look for the positives mate but that's really clutching at straws, it's only going to get worse from here don't do it to yourself man Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ToonArmy1892 Posted August 11, 2019 Share Posted August 11, 2019 I'm glad it was so s*** like, i was worried they might fluke a result. Couldn't have gone much better apart from a few more goals. Come on Norwich. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest reefatoon Posted August 11, 2019 Share Posted August 11, 2019 Was Ritchies role in the second half to pretend that he is 12 again and just run wherever the ball goes? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amir_9 Posted August 11, 2019 Share Posted August 11, 2019 Not too optimistic for a result against Norwich either, their fans and players will be up for it They seemed like they have ideas in attack and can pose a threat. Not to mention they will want to put the Liverpool result behind them. Still struggling to figure out what our plan was today, we weren't compact, we didn't outplay them, we had no plan. The entire team looked blunt and lost. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Won't score enough and Longstaff looks like he can't play as one of the side players in a 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
tinoasprilla Posted August 11, 2019 Share Posted August 11, 2019 That was fucking shite! Subs awful. Playing 5 at the back the whole game. Ritchie and dummet getting 90 minutes whilst our two best passers gets subbed. Unbelievably inept Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

KaKa Posted August 11, 2019 Share Posted August 11, 2019 Can't see arsenal playing this s*** again this season. They aren't that great tbh, they'll probably lose to a few weak teams this season. Their defence is crap, just we aren't really testing them. Have you seen how many players they've got injured/unavailable? This was a great time to play them. Yeah, think they were lucky as well, that they played us. Nah, everything should be clicking straight away you know. Just like it did for us at the start of last season. The season where we played well every single game and never lost. When Rondon was labelled slow and crap to start and Ki was useless, etc etc etc. It's all so petty and dishonest man. Just like the owner is. What a disgusting state of affairs everything to do with the club is. No. Your manager has just told everyone how happy he is, and we've just played the weakest arsenal team anyone will see this season. Anyone watching that knows the man has no clue, and no plan. I've never criticised you before but you need to open your fucking eyes here like. That was as bad as it gets. You guys are so dishonest man. It just makes me laugh. You were all saying the same crap at the start of last season. Slating new players. Calling the team and the play rubbish. After the first game. Already you're all hurling abuse at the players that have just joined, who have nothing to do with the manager or owner, and just imagining they are doing far worse than they are. It is so pathetic man. I swear you lot actually deserve Mike Ashley man. The ones fillign the stadium and the ones that are so nasty all the time about everything. It is disgusting.

Kanji Posted August 11, 2019 Share Posted August 11, 2019 Joelinton needs to play with more aggression and needs to get the ball and turn at defenders. Looked leggy tbh. Almiron looked bright. Wish he didn’t go down so easily in first. ASM was decent as well. Could be exciting. The subs were baffling. Ultimately cos for us a point or even a chance at 3. But we were lucky to face a weekend Arsenal side. I can gty that our academy coaches wouldn’t have made those subs man. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Willems moves for that ball we'd probably be looking at a 0-0 and considering it a decent point. Tactics can't fix stupid. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But when people are writing off players as duds 5 mins into their debut, and the likes it is just so bloody stupid. They're just on here to spew their hate man. Why bother watching then? This club is so utterly revolting at the minute. Every single thing about it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
