Joe Willock at 1.86 is taller than every player in Bournemouths lineup that beat Arsenal (expect their goalkeeper). Then we also had Osula and Lewis Miley who are both around 1.90, both CBs being well above, and with most players being over 1.80. Really, I don't see it. Arsenal has scored 1 goal from corner in their last 9 before this one, mostly playing teams that has less height and strength than what we would even with Hall over Burn.

Agreed, my concern before the game was that our lineup was entirely geared around nullifying an Arsenal team that have been blunt recently anyway. Putting Burn, Willock and Ramsey down the left just immediately set our stall out to try to not concede, which obviously we immediately did anyway and couldn't recover. 

 

They held us at arms length all game because we had basically no attacking outlets.

Starting Burn could be argued as making sense.

Not bringing Hall on when we went 1-0 down does not make sense.

Watching Dan lumbering up the left trying to offer an offensive option was... frustrating.

Fall out from Palace allegedly, there is a rumour that Hall and Tindall had quite a confrontation at half time due to Hall not following instructions and going against the game plan.

I find this difficult to believe....

 

....we have a gameplan?

The version I heard was that it was the Bournemouth game and he said to Eddie "how come you don't make half time subs you little cunt, look at Farke at Leeds in the cup next week for a prime example of how to be proactive", Eddie stood up from massaging Dan Burn's feet and was absolutely stotting, beetroot red, "I do make half time subs Lewis, let me show you how it's done", followed by maniacal evil laughter. 

 

KI was in the corner clapping him and laughing too with his Eddie Howe jarmies on.

Going to need to wait until I hear @Kid Icarus’s account but this does sound like it’s probably bang on

Hopefully the rumours aren’t true that Hall has fell out with Howe. If we lose Livramento, Gordon, Hall and Tonali in the summer we are in big trouble under Howe. 

What rumours ?

Not a happy chap apparently and I can’t blame him at all 

If Eddie is playing a large role in Hall and Woltemade being unhappy at the club then that’s a real red flag. They’re two of our very few technically good players

He's been our best attacking outlet and probably our best defender all year despite being injured and working his way back to fitness once or twice. I'd say he's well within his rights to have a moan about some of the dross he has to share a field with

As he was in trouble, Howe wanted Burns leadership qualities on the pitch.

 

Understandable as his job is literally on the line.

 

Dropping Hall was the easier option than changing the two CBs

Why is it difficult to swap a CB? They all know Howe’s system well by now.
