Ben Posted February 3 Share Posted February 3 Anyone booing today is a proper daft cunt, the club was broken a couple of years ago, we now have ambitious owners running the show, that are hamstrung by the top6 cartel. Wind your necks in, this rebuild will take time, stop spitting your dummy at the first poor result and grow a backbone Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRon Posted February 3 Share Posted February 3 1 minute ago, AyeDubbleYoo said: My main takeaway was that we had probably half a team out today that is more mid-table or lower than European contender. It’s not surprising we can’t control or dominate the game with such limited players making up a lot of the team. I respect all of our lads but Longstaff, Miley, Murphy, Burn, Almiron and arguably Wilson are more Luton quality than Arsenal quality. It’s a natural part of our progression but we still have too many average players to be confident of consistent wins. Of course, take them out and replace them with the lads we have injured and we destroy Luton 9 times out of 10. Yep. It has been apparent for a while now that our Luton standard players really struggle when pressed relentlessly. Failure to trap the ball, shift it away from the press, poor composure when choosing a pass or a finish. Difficult to play genuine quality football when you have sub-standard players involved in more than a couple of positions. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Superior Acuña Posted February 3 Share Posted February 3 If we’d won that 5-4 in the end I’d have absolutely loved it. But the disappointment massively outweighs the sense of fun for me, it needed the relief of a win at the end to be truly fun. I was incredibly frustrated at the end as we were after a 5th. I would’ve loved it if it was another team. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bimpy474 Posted February 3 Share Posted February 3 (edited) 2 hours ago, KetsbaiaIsBald said: if only we had a wing back with pace. Aye, not just in those areas though, teams are breaking through the middle of the pitch with pace, and getting in behind our midfield. Our lack of a proper 4 (I can't bring myself to say 6) has shown up a lot. Other teams managers have spotterd it imo, and are exploiting it rather well.

Pancrate1892 Posted February 3 Share Posted February 3 Credit to Luton, they deserved what they got. I feel we were bullied in the centre of the park which affirms what most people have said is that we lack that player who mops up and protects the back 4. Quite simply if you keep losing 50/50s in the centre of the pitch then the ascendancy is always with the other team and that's what made Luton s average players look a match for us today. Great to see Barnes and Wilson back, can't help feel it was wrong to put Murphy on the left and miggy back on the right when we finally had a centre forward on the pitch. Obviously Murphy went back over to the right when Barnes came on but that also was no coincidence that we pulled back to 4-4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whilst Miley is doing an unbelievable job in the circumstances, nobody can deny that we've leaked all the goals since we've been forced to put him in the team. None of the midfield 3 are particularly combative and it really has shown. Not a criticism of Miley or the other two, it's just the balance isn't right.

Gallowgate Toon Posted February 3 Share Posted February 3 Bruno is combative. He puts in very similar defensive numbers to Joe. Today didn't feel like a DM problem to me, what Joelinton is absolutely class at is winning the ball in the opponent's half which helps to pin teams in and resort to pumping long more often. They managed to get it to Barkley from GKs well and he was able to slip by a fair bit. Miley gets flak for off the ball work but Longstaff feels like a non-entity in this regard at the moment.
