Player for player Arsenal had more quality. Half of our team just aren't good enough but we have to put up with it for now and hope we pick up some points. Get behind the team and the manager Agreed, and it's amazingly reactive to say nothings changed just because a team that is better than us in every aspect just out played us when you look at the way we played against Brentford.

nufcnick Posted November 27, 2021 Share Posted November 27, 2021 Tuesday and Saturday are the acid tests, 2 good results are needed, relegation certainly’s if we don’t get them Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted November 27, 2021 Share Posted November 27, 2021 I’m starting to think we might go down even if we win the next two, because any half decent team will murder us. But it’s obviously a massive boost and will give us a chance to improve the squad in Jan. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Willow Posted November 27, 2021 Share Posted November 27, 2021 Were never going to win today, just forget today and focus on the next. Trying to think positively but it's looking pretty grim like! Cheers Bruce and Ashley, really solid work you did here. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scoot Posted November 27, 2021 Share Posted November 27, 2021 2 huge games next week now. They'll basically make or break our season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NE27 Posted November 27, 2021 Share Posted November 27, 2021 Just can't believe the almost insurmountable shit show we have been left now Ashley et al have gone. No amount of coaching is going to suddenly transform this squad, it's just too limited. We can hope for better performances than those under Bruce, but we are so lacking in nearly every department it feels an uphill struggle. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
huss9 Posted November 27, 2021 Share Posted November 27, 2021 (edited) likely just paranoid but starting to think there actually is an agenda against us. some of the reffing decisions again us man. Edited November 27, 2021 by huss9 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thumbheed Posted November 27, 2021 Share Posted November 27, 2021 There were times where I wasn't sure which way we were attacking such was the frequency we turned back on ourselves. I think Howe got a lot wrong today, really disappointing performance tbh. Only positives were Almirons cameo and Dubravka Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've genuinly thought the same with the way our fixture list has fallen. I cant possibly think of a worse run to have than ours during the busiest period of the season. We still got it all to come as well. January cant come quick enough imo Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fantail Breeze Posted November 27, 2021 Share Posted November 27, 2021 We were really poor today. The referee decisions could’ve gone either way, it was a really crap game and very stop-start but that was a missed opportunity. I was surprised how lax we were and how little we attacked. Two big games coming up, but disappointed by that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

As long as Ritchie keeps starting as a lwb, his selection is always wrong imo. I just can't understand what Lewis and Manq have done to not be even near the squad Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont think they will be his favourites but he probably sees them (and Wilson) as shortcuts to the team identity that he wants, they know what he wants and expects so should set the standards for the others. Im guessing both will quickly be replaced if they arent doing the job he needs from them though Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr Jinx Posted November 27, 2021 Share Posted November 27, 2021 Could tell Eddie Howe was pissed off. When asked if he thought the players switched off he didn’t defend them, said “you’ll have to ask them that” I think they reverted to what they were doing before which will have annoyed him more so. The manic pressing from the very start isn’t sustainable throughout a game so they need to learn to contain teams in the first 10 minutes without knackering themselves. Fitness did look a bit better though. ASM looks like he needs a rest, even just to the bench for next game. And Lascelles.. at least Ritchie you can make excuses for not being his position but that second goal, Lascelles was looking right at that player ghosting in and stood there like a statue until was too late.

The Merse Posted November 27, 2021 Share Posted November 27, 2021 Seemed a bit reluctant to play it long which when we did caused their defenders some bother - I don't mind the playing out from the back but without a midfielder who can transition the play we get overrun - willock and shelvey aren't that type of player - Haydn for me and maybe mix up the play a bit more Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
et tu brute Posted November 27, 2021 Share Posted November 27, 2021 How the fuck do Ritchie and Krafth keep getting a game. They are absolutely a massive liability every time they fucking play. Surely Howe has watched previous games to see where the problems lie. Playing these two is a guarantee that goals will be conceded. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
