Arsenal 4-1 Newcastle United (24/02/24) | Reaction: pg 43


Recommended Posts

I'd rather we took off one of longstaff or miley, moved gordon to a no 10 ish role and put barnes on the left. Go more 4231.

 

Or maybe Burn on for one of them and do more of a 3-4-3 with Trips and Tino as Wingbacks.

 

Our striker needs some support. We need some more pace in central midfield. This isn't just a today issue, this is really an all season issue - our 4-3-3 set up's just not working against pressure. With no Big Joe to kick it long to we have no way of moving the ball up the field.

They just had zero shots on goal against Porto a couple of days ago as well…

 

 

It's not just the shots, 36% possession is kinda shit.

Arsenal are on top of their form,

We are at our worst.

 

We let 9 goals in against Luton, Forest and Bournemouth at home.. nobody can be surprised that we are struggling tonight.

 

Only hope for me is that we pick up no injuries (to be fair Isak can't  injured being no where near the ball)

For Botman.


Schar has been worse, he’s gifted them the ball every time.

It’s men against boys (literally in Miley’s case) We have no physicality in midfield so they are cutting through us at will. So many seem to be playing well within themselves - no disrespect to arsenal.

Men v boys.

more desire, better pressing v no pressing. Can’t string a pass together for shit.

 

Getting destroyed while Arsenal just try and walk the ball in the net.

 

We are light years behind this lot. 
last year was certainly a flash in the pan.

That midfield 3 of ours is slow, ineffective and vulnerable to the press. Knocking it down to 2 CMs and going 5-4-1 or a version of it is the only suggestion for an alternative given the lack of personnel, but we're getting played through by every single side we play.

Arsenal have been relentless tbf, it's a shit performance but it's not in a vacuum, they've made us look especially terrible through being so fucking good 

Honestly don’t think they’ve needed to play well at all.  Schoolboy defending from us, amateur with the ball.  They haven’t needed to turn up - in fact I’d say that they haven’t played well, a good performance would see us 5-0 down at the break.
