If they turned in their third consequetive clean sheet would that have been better?

 

 

 

 

Probably, aye. You know how it goes for us. 

[toon25]

We never seem to get anything against these cunts.

 

3-1

[TheGuv]

We’re probably going to have to score at least 2 to get anything from them. 
 

Question is, can we keep them out? 
 

Fuck it.

 

1-2 win. Wilson and Schar goalscorers.

Ask Eddie - How ? -  He has 5 days to get these lazy "defenders" playing better and then we'll  have a fighting chance.

[Mike]

Optimistic.

[xLiaaamx]

Eddie's not allowed to go to work this week though.

These are just better than us .

 

3-0 the misery goes on I’m afraid, won’t be watching as I’m away , massive effort needed .

Mike Ashley has gone. Misery is long gone as far as I am concerned.

In a perverse way, I can sort of enjoy the worry of relegation because it means I'm in love with my club again.

Yes fair comment, the misery has gone , I meant on the results, I don’t want us to go down really I don’t but I guess yes it’s hard to forget the rubbish in charge for years . We are back , whatever happens 

[Dokko]

Spirited loss

[Whitley mag]

Great game to try something different as the balance is still not right with 5 at the back. I think Howe has played 4-2-3-1 before which I still think could be our best formation. We clearly need more protection in midfield but with the ability to get bodies in the box like yesterday. This would be my choice, where still conceding with the back 3 so can’t see it’s going to be any worse with a 4. Proper full backs and a defensive midfielder in there hopefully compensate for the 3rd Centre Half.

   

                            Dubravka 

 

     Manquillo-Lascelles-Fernandez-Lewis

 

                      Hayden-Shelvey

 

             Joelinton-Almiron-St Max

 

                              Wilson

Think he’ll bring in Fraser for Murphy and Haydon for Willock.

[HaydnNUFC]

I'd bring Hayden in for Willock, Dubravka in for Darlow and Manquillo in for Murphy. Ritchie is poor defensively but I thought when we were in possession he was good. Toss up between him and Lewis tbh but I'm unsure whether to bring Lewis in for this.

[ilikenewcastle]

We can definitely cause them problems but I expect us to gift them way too many chances. Best we can realistically hope for is that teams around us drop points and we go into Norwich/Burnley in the same situation we are now.

I don’t think we can persist with three at the back with Ritchie and Murphy wide, but I don’t know if Eddie can bring in a formation change via Zoom. 
 

I’d be hoping that, if we continue with three at the back against Arsenal, someone works closely with Manquillo and Lewis to bring them up to speed with Eddie’s Way.

[Raconteur]

Also, I want Hayden starting somewhere - feel like he was a big miss against Brentford.

[Guest reefatoon]

We have to start winning at some point. Might as well make it Saturday.

[The Prophet]

I don't think we have the players to be going three at the back on a regular basis, horses for courses, but go 4-3-3  here. Dubravka, Manquillo, Lewis, Fernandez, and Hayden in for Darlow, Ritchie, Murphy, Schar and Clark please.

[MrRaspberryJam]

Something must be amiss with Fernandez like for him not to be getting picked by Bruce, Jones or Howe. Weird like as he doesn't strike me as the sort of fella to kick up a fuss or throw a strop or not train properly.

I was thinking the same with Manquillo. He's nothing flash, but he's a huge improvement over Ritchie.

The good old days of 2001. May have had 9/11 but the football was good

Arsenal have a stinker in them, it just never happens against us. Its getting to the stage where we're going to need a result from either this or those games in mid-late December.

 

Was thinking this yesterday; when was the last time a team had a real off-day against us?

Ritchie is a massive liability, but Manquillo has been fucking pony every time he's played on the left.

 

The only reason I can think of to play Murphy ahead of Manquillo is that Murphy can sort of sometimes hit a decent set piece, and has a marginally better cross. I don't agree (at all, actually - I think Manquillo would solve a lot of problems if he replaced Murphy) but I'm not the one making the big bucks...
