High lines take time to master. It has to be perfect Everytime. One player takes the wrong step you will likely be punished. But it also needs pressure in the ball at the right time. There was far to much time and space further forward for there midfielder to play that pass. Again takes time to...
Tbh the ref digs his own grave. I thought he played man then ball myself and it looked like a scissors type tackle. I’d have thought a yellow.
However ref believes he played the ball second he suggests that he should stick to his instincts. He’s been influenced by something the way Nuno reacted...
Schooled him at what exactly? Making subs?
Nuno had made a mess off his half time tactical tweak and 2 changes. They were terrible and no threat for the next 20 mins. He corrected his own mistakes.
There was 6 mins plus stoppage time when the tackle was made. You suggesting we should have kept...
Think it still down to the CM pivot to be in place when the risky pass is played. When the risky pass is played and cut out and that CM is 3/4 yards out of position we are often countered 3/2. Needs looking at but think that will come with time as it did with RDZ and his tactics.
Things take time. Rutter only new face starting today. If Pedro was fully fit I suspect he would have also been on the bench. Judgement could be cast in 18 months time if this group stayed together that long.
We are 5 games into a new season. Unbeaten.
New manager and a lot of new players who are yet to get many minutes playing a different way.
He’s getting a better tune currently that RDZ did from the same group for his final 6 months.
Work still needs to be done that high line needs to be...
First half they didn’t really create anything bar the very first attack with a brilliant ball in the box.
They set up quite well I thought. 4 attacking all had pace and in Delap they also had a bit of power. We defended that very well in first half and pressed well when they went short.
2nd...
I don’t think the performance was quite as bad as A1X is alluding but the mis control was defo Ferdi
I had expected for 35 million he would stop it, do a flick up and volley it into the top corner.
Maybe the Amex atmosphere after Fenerbahce was to much for him
Personally I think it will just be a slower integration. He was looking likely to be in the German euro squad before injury. If the plan was he wasn’t going to get minutes he would have gone out on loan to develop. Even with this short term injury he would have been snapped up by a decent club...
Little I’ve seen of Beadle he is the future. Potential to be a modern day great. If we can keep Bart this year and next this lad is ready to jump in. Special talent. Rushworth I think one day will be England’s number 2 behind Beadle
Not sure exactly what you’re getting at. Think people are pleasantly surprised by him not that he’s the next messiah.
We were better with him on the pitch yesterday. They dominated for long period of that opening 20 mins. Once he settled we controlled possession a lot better and the game was...
Has really surprised me this pre season and season. I was worried we had 2 20 year olds with not that many PL minutes against there midfield three. I thought we had more control with him on the pitch much to his credit. I also think he was slightly deeper than Milner played allowed Baleba to...
Made it to the front 6 hours in to find tickets are now £470 odd each. After 45 mins of flip flopping trying to get them to the checkout I’ve been booted out at the checkout stage with 2 seated tickets at a bargain 1k lost
Veltman was just smarter.
I’d be annoyed if I was an Arsenal fan by the lack of consistency- Pedro got away with a yellow first half.
In this incident Veltman looks like he’s going to play the ball up the line suckers Rice in and he’s daft enough to nick the ball away. Veltman was never...
