Slot needs to make changes.
Midfield been invisible and forwards been poor.

And he’s eaten a lot of pies


Would love it if our winner comes from a cheap foul that NĂșñez gets off Gabriel.

We’re intimidated, you can sense it in our play. All our fullbacks want to do is hoof it clear. Whenever Kelleher’s had the ball (and it’s been A LOT) all he wants to do is punt it to no one.

The need to address the obvious concerns at left back during the summer becoming more and more apparent. Robertson on the decline and Tsimikas not good enough for a top team.

The latest can to be kicked down the road.

If we score the next goal
 The Arse might get the wind taken out of them
 They score next, their adrenaline will keep pumping for the full 90mins

As a coach once said to us at H/T when 1 oppo player was running rampant - if he wears red and black socks kick him. And if he moves, kick him again.

As poor form that everyone has declared Dom to be in, i think we need his workrate in the second half.

Jones and Macca look to be struggling against a very mobile Arsenal midfield

Our forwards haven’t been in the game.
Trent’s passing had been shit.
Robbo being schooled.
We cant handle their free kick setup, they’ve score 1 and missed at least 1 from that move.

We were lucky to be only one down at H/T
Everything about that first half was wrong for us. Didn’t tackle and let them run their game. When we did it was in our half and usually ended up with a free kick 20 yards from our box. No forward momentum, too slow on the counter, not one shot at their goal. Ref is playing to their game plan

Don’t like the way we’re playing. And then making mistakes.

HT: Arsenal 2-1 Liverpool

This does not look like a game that will finish at 2-1. There are so many chances and opportunities being created, Arsenal are having the lion’s share of them. Two smart, clever teams but Liverpool will be going in at half time thinking about how to get Curtis Jones on the ball, because if they don’t they are going to struggle.

Whole team need a rocket up the arse. Biggest game of the season and they’ve all turned up like scared little pups.

We’ve sat back and allowed them to come at us in waves with no resistance.

There press is forcing us to go long and we are losing every contest as the ball out is hopeful and not directed, on our press we are letting them dictate rather than us forcing them where we want.

Defensively we are over committing and committing foul after foul, as mentioned earlier with what they are ding on their freekicks step back and kill that room.

Robbo needs replacing as we are having to double on Saka and then leaving spaces elsewhere.

A lot of work for Arne and Trent is again struggling against Martinelli

Feels like they’ve had at least 4 of those from that general area, it’s quite obviously a deliberate tactic to get a cheap free kick there.

I have full confidence AS will know how to resolve our tactical game today
 Whether the players collective mindset can respond, is another matter

Whats worrying is midfield been under the cosh and weve not heard Jones name once. He isnt in the game.

The Pundits are suggesting we’ve been naive to give away free kicks in that area. What’s not been said is that not many of them were actually fouls in the first place. Taylor has decided that Diaz in particular is simply not allowed to challenge for the ball.
