Please stop trying to play Wilson in behind.

Dont know how to pay Wilson these days. He cant run in behind, he cant keep the ball when we play it on him, he cant head the ball. Let Osula or Neave get a shot because they cant be worse than Wilson. If he starts 2nd half, I hope he proves me wrong but I wont hold my breath for that..

Every time in the past 40 mins the ball has gone to Wilson it’s led to Arsenal regaining possession. 

It's one of those weird blinds pots Eddie has with certain players. Took him ages to realise longstaff was shit. I'd rather Osula even if raw because at least there will be energy and he can't do worse than Wilson

He's still been better than Isak recently in that he's at least held the ball up and found a teammate on occasion.  But aye needs to come off ASAP for Osula.

 

I actually agree with this. Kind of crazy how Isak has been playing 90 min every game in that state. Didn't do anything really. Even this from Wilson has been better.

Wilson has been fucking shocking.

 

Also, Gordon needs to cut out the diving, and actually make some of those overlapping runs.

 

Referee has given them everything soft.

 

really? I missed the first few minutes but it's looked to me like he's been quite stingy with stopping play for soft fouls, which I quite like.

We're actually playing well because we don't have a player completely missing up front, AKA Isak.  I still think he's an excellent player and will get back into form. But last 4 or 5 games has absolutely hindered us by being either invisible or actively giving the opposition the ball, sometimes in dangerous areas.

Good half, they’ve had more possession, we’ve had the better chances though they had some as well.

 

Dont think Wilson has been as bad as some suggest (not brilliant or anything but OK).

 

Livramento is too indecisive in attacking positions.

 

Gordon throwing himself to the floor at the beginning of the half but seems to have cut it out now.

 

Need to turn these chances into goals second half.

I get Howe wants to protect the young players but it cannot be worse than what we're seeing.

Osula cannot be worse at this point. I refuse to believe it :lol: 

 

 

He would make sense to bring on, especially if we are going to continue trying to play through balls for Wilson to run on to :lol:

Liking the Livramento and Barnes cutting inside, creating space for us.

 

Wilson is frustrating, just hasn't got the pace and getting closed out so when he gets the ball can't get it out his feet. Would like to see Osula given a chance.

 

Good first half and we look bang up for it.

You imagine the sub will be Willock on for Wilson and move Gordon up front between 60-70 mins if it stays like this

 

I think you’ll be right. Hope not though as I think Gordon disappoints at CF. Would prefer Willock to stay central if not Osula.
