Fine to say they're coming here to turn it around, but to say they're coming to score three... four... or five, is pushing it, and I'd hope a few of ours would be looking at those comments with a wry smile.

LionOfGosforth Posted February 4 Share Posted February 4 Think the key is in how Eddie sets us up. Let's be aggressive, not passive. That plays into their hands. Go for an early goal, get the crowd with us, we know how good our crowd can be at times and conversely how shit it can be in adversity at times. Leave it all on the pitch, no regrets.

wormy Posted February 4 Share Posted February 4 I love to hate Arsenal but I couldn't give a shit about those quotes. They need to score three at a minimum. They may need more. Doesn't strike me as him saying its a given but just an acknowledgement of what they need to do if they're going to turn the tie around. All for Howe turning it in to motivation for the players if he can, though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he hadn’t mentioned scoring four or five (which given the context doesn’t seem that bad) no one would give it a second thought. Sounds more like he's trying to sound a positive note rather than be disrespectful tbh. They got beat 2-0 on their own ground, can understand why he has to now overcompensate to show they believe the tie is still there to be won. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

patrone Posted February 4 Share Posted February 4 I think the first goal will be the most important, we scored first and can afford to sit back 5-5-0 time. They score first and we'll start to get nervous It could go either way 🤣🤣 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TBG Posted February 4 Share Posted February 4 Still haven't seen a single ticket pop up in the resale. Convinced the system is broken. Someone put their ticket up for resale and let me know when, so I can test whether I can buy it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shush Posted February 4 Share Posted February 4 Been watching the press conferences a lot more this season. I'm amazed at how shit the journalists questions are Do they just think of the most irrelevant or cliche things they could ask? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

A combination of that and not being able to think on their feet, so when they're 7th or 8th in line they ask the same question, or a close variant of, that's been asked probably three times already. Apart from Louise Taylor, who is the football journalist equivalent of Robert Peston during the Covid pressers, it just takes her the best part of a minute to ramble through whatever nonsense she's asking Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Decky Posted February 4 Share Posted February 4 In fairness to Martinelli if they're coming to try and win they will have to score at least 3. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Feel like we have to go out with the intent to beat them. If we are still level at HT, then we can maybe look to go 5-5-0 for the last half hour or so.
