Arsenal vs Brighton & Hove Albion *** Official Match Thread ***

Defending like a pub team

Arsenal time wasting

Seriously this tippy tap short passing to clear the area tactic is bullshit.

Hoofing the ball just gives it back to them and is League 2 stuff. Trying to keep the ball is a much better tactic imo, except in the last five mins when row z should always be the option.

 

[GoingUp]

We look so amateurish at times. Weak passes that end up as throw ins and silly mistakes.

 

[Gully Forever]

Our passing is so naïve its pissing me off.

Wake up Albion

 

[oldboyroy]

Stephens worries me

 

[GoingUp]

Bong looks like he is sh!ting it whenever he gets the ball, he doesnt seem to want to pass forward.

 

[mothy]

Stephens having a mare

 

[Gully Forever]

A touch harsh. At least he is not frightened to get forward and also gets back to cover. Let's give him a chance.

I'm more worried about his defending, that's why I say get him off

 

[Bladders]

Get the ball , shit ya pants , pass it back .

Bit wobbly aren't we. No need to be this worried.

Relax and play lads.

33 mins and we're still in it at 1-0 down. We've made several unforced errors but have also threatened on 3 or 4 occasions.
We're looking fairly respectable at the moment but I feel that Arsenal are only in 3rd gear.

 

[RandyWanger]

We're so negative.

That might be so if we weren't so prone to making awful sloppy passes. Better the ball is 40 metres up the pitch than turning it over inside and around the box.

 

[Gully Forever]

And matt ryan kicks the ball off the pitch, :-( Again and Again and AGAIN

 

[GoingUp]

We're so negative.

The team or the fans?

The thing is we didn't get out of the Championship with tippy tappy Gus passing. Fast attacking and counters are the team's strength. Trying to recreate a passing team in a higher league is a bloody tough ask - better to just go for the 10 wins with what you do best

 

[WGull]

Once we went 1-0 down we should've played with more freedom and not just sat back waiting for them to score again. We have 3 players with pace and we aren't trying to use them at all, it is depressing because I think we can compete
