Chris_R Posted August 13, 2023 Share Posted August 13, 2023 17 minutes ago, Jackie Broon said: Look back at some articles about his time at Arsenal and what went wrong for him (after 11 wins in a row in his first season) and it's identical to what happened yesterday, the insistence on a high line and playing out from the back even when they're constantly getting caught out. The pace of the PL makes that style very risky if they lose a bit of confidence I can see it snowballing and he's shown in the past he will just stick to plan A. I noticed on goal kicks they'd stick a few players right up to stop us playing out from the back, so we just went long. We did the same to them and they just kept trying to play out, refused to ever go long. You've got to be flexible and they weren't at all. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miggy was average but worked hard. Midfield - need a little time to gel especially in transition. A few times we lost the ball and had nobody at DM and Villa were straight onto our back line. Over time I think that will improve. AT 3-1 we kept building with 3 at the back and Trippier super high. And a few times we were caught out a few times and could’ve conceded. Trippier is slow running back. It’s a calculated risk but one I felt was unnecessary. we look susceptible defensively in general. Granted Villa have real talent. The way we play, we are often defending with 3. Our back 3 is decent at slowing the opposition down for the others to get back. But none of the 3 are particularly good defending 1v1. That’s where we could do with an upgrade. I thought Cash had Burn on toast when he moved into midfield. If you found a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow, all everyone would hear from you is that it was the wrong shape. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The College Dropout Posted August 13, 2023 Share Posted August 13, 2023 Listen. I’m delighted. We ended up smashing them. Overall great performance. When we lose. I don’t think we are terrible and think everyone is shit. There’s usually positives to take. When we win. I don’t think we are the best team in the world and all our players are elite. There’s usually things that can be improved. Never too up. Never too down. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Bruno was just bad." Sorry like but that's just not true at all. He didn't have his best game for us but he was far from bad. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toon_Crazy Posted August 13, 2023 Share Posted August 13, 2023 (edited) In my 30 years supporting the club, this is the best team and squad that I've ever seen. Incredible sense of pride being at the game and around the city. Popped to the ground again late last night looking at where I've been coming for about 20 years. Gotta love this place.

A bit slow getting around. He was 2-3 levels off his best and the worst player on our team imo. Stupid yellow too. He’s Bruno G. He can play miles better. He’s meant to be our best passer and he was the worst passer yesterday. Hopefully is just a lack of sharpness. He was off the pace.

The College Dropout Posted August 13, 2023 Share Posted August 13, 2023 One last interesting point. We dropped our pressing intensity far earlier than we usually do. Just sat in a low block. With the extra games and longer games. It’s a good way to ensure we retain our fitness levels through the season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Prophet Posted August 13, 2023 Share Posted August 13, 2023 Second half we were definitely content to counter-attack from a mid-block. Don't think we ever got particularly deep though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only time I've ever had the same thing was at the end of the GReat North run when there were loads of people trying to get a signal in close proximity Happens at other grounds too. As you say it's due to the amount of people in one area pulling from the network. Tends to be OK at smaller lower league grounds but big grounds I have issues. Couldn't get anything at Ibrox for example. Edited August 13, 2023 by ponsaelius Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the ground it was shit, but before the 5G iPhone’s came out, you could switch to 3G manually and get a signal. Now you can’t, and you can’t get a signal. 02 in Newcastle, even on non-match days is bad now. On Northumberland Street you can get a signal, but you can’t load a webpage, and it doesn’t even have to be busy.

For the f1 I got a smarty sim(uses the orange network). Three seems to do better. Maybe as there are less people on the network. I could stream the cricket whilst in a grandstand.
