Sempiternal Posted April 15, 2023 Share Posted April 15, 2023 Emery is a really good manager who is weirdly disrespected because of what happened at Arsenal. I miss Stevie G Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kanji Posted April 15, 2023 Share Posted April 15, 2023 First time under Howe we’ve looked defeated the minute the ball was kicked. Odd stuff. Nothing stuck. Nothing worked. Our play was slow and generally sloppy. We had a few half ish chances and missed or Emi made the saves. Everybody was crap. Pope too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ohmelads Posted April 15, 2023 Share Posted April 15, 2023 Villa were good, but I think today exposed cracks that have appeared in the last two games. West Ham hit the post and dominated us early and Brentford even moreso. West Ham defended like we did today and the Brentford game we did play very well second half, but it papered over the cracks. Villa exposed them. A wake up call or a blow to morale ahead of next week? I don't think today is down to any individuals but I think now is the time to drop Burn. Fans have been calling for it for weeks but we have been grinding results. Gordon also has done himself no favours this week with his tantrum followed by an abject performance with no positional discipline. He works harder than ASM but also wanders more which I think would drive Howe mad especially away from home in a game like this. Most worrying thing about today was our midfield three were anonymous. Bruno, Joe and Willock. Longstaff misses sitters but he puts in a shit tonne of work that goes unseen and I think we missed his industry today. He does a lot of the dirty work that allows others to play. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest reefatoon Posted April 15, 2023 Share Posted April 15, 2023 Missed watching it as was driving, so listened to it on the radio. Sounded like we hardly touched the ball, hardly heard us mentioned. Never mind, onto the next one now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The linesmen were shambolic and on another day that would have been to story on here Jist absolutely nothing I can say after that game though, it was horrific Yeah, after they got the second I was over it. They just had our number today We will need a specific setup and game plan to counter their approach next time around. It was interesting. I think we will really need two really athletic full backs coming in this summer. Burn back to centre back full time and Trippier just cannot be played against certain types of teams, he's not up to it physically from a defensive standpoint. I am also all in on having Bruno in the number 8 role now with less defensive responsibility. We will need an athletic DM that is better defensively that still uses the ball well. A humbling can be very valuable. No doubt a lot of lessons will be learnt from today. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dokko Posted April 15, 2023 Share Posted April 15, 2023 3 away games on the bounce is tough going and it seemed a game too far. So glad burn was hooked. Worth it not to see that shite again. He's backup at CB from now on. Nothing more. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cronky Posted April 15, 2023 Share Posted April 15, 2023 When I first saw the selection, I thought we might be in for a change of plan, with a 4-4-1-1, and Gordon having a free role around Isak. We played our usual 4-3-3, but that left a CM trio of Joelinton, Bruno and Willock. Without Longstaff, that looked a bit weak. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BonesJones Posted April 15, 2023 Share Posted April 15, 2023 Beat us tactically today. This isn't me being cocky but can teams like this, with a good xi and manager, compete long term without the crazy money? Spurs are getting a battering! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

prefabtoon Posted April 15, 2023 Share Posted April 15, 2023 We just need to move on, we have had some great results. and this result was bound to come that's football. The important thing to remember is, this one result wont decide the top four. lets just regroup and go for a win at home to spurs. HWTL. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That run of three wins over 6 days we just had was a heck of an achievement at this stage of the season, considering how limited our squad still is. In a way that really can't be discounted from a tiredness standpoint too, especially with our style of play. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Away Toon Posted April 15, 2023 Share Posted April 15, 2023 39 minutes ago, Nine said: The better team won today, some of the emotional outburst will be aimed towards Burn but the reality is NO ONE played well today. They dominated the midfield from the first minute and that’s okay, they are a good side now under Emery. Onto the next. Why would anyone blame Burn, he's not picking himself to play left back which is not his position. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronson333 Posted April 15, 2023 Share Posted April 15, 2023 6 points from the three away games is fine. We basically could get away with losing one of the games given we won the five previous. But it’s the manner of the defeat that shocked me. Really hope it doesn’t knock the teams confidence, that’s why the spurs game is crucial. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
