[Albion] team v ARSENAL

[portlock seagull]

Not grumpy but it’s a pointless idea.

Both Duffy and Dunk have been very good disciplinary wise, considering how many tackles and blocks they make.... they have also been 2 of our best performers for the last two years.

Yes Duffy’s red was brainless and Dunk shouldn’t have even been sent off yesterday.

Dropping the two of them to the detriment of the team seems beyond pointless.... you’d have a point if they had a string of red card offenses and getting booked every week but that isn’t the case.

Not even a smidgin of grumpiness perhaps...? Go on, it’s Xmas, let it go...!

Or play like we did last year when we beat them

We need Glenn then.

 

[dazzer6666]

We need Glenn then.

...and Gross back to his best....

 

[Cowfold Seagull]

...and Gross back to his best....

Indeed. I think the only way for that to happen is for him to play games. Catch 22 l guess.

 

[LamieRobertson]

We need Glenn then.

If florin plays and the Greek guy for Arsenal I anticipate a physical battle and maybe another red

They have previous?

 

[LamieRobertson]

They have previous?

No....but ive seen the Arsenal player on the box over the last two weeks and he does seem to like a bit or argy bargy ...and I dont think Florin is much of a wallflower...part gut feeling as well I guess

Romania versus Greece it is then, let the battle begin. Just don't get sent off Florin!

Bank of 4, bank of 5 and defend for our lives. Hit them on the break late on 1-0 thank you very much.

 

[Harry Wilson's tackle]

We could try all out attack. like Everton did this afternoon.



That went well.

[DavidinSouthampton]

Would that be when he blocked our own shot or smashed the ball out of play to no one?

Or when he nearly scored and brought one of the saves that Eddie Howe praised out of Begovic.....

 

[samtheseagull]

You're right, if people continue to think Locadia is decent they are a bit thick.

You knows that's not the point here so lay off the sarcasm.

 

[Wardy's twin]

so Kayal gets written off although he played in our run of 3 wins and was pretty influential in that period.

 

[perseus]

I thought that the idea was to try to win games

In order to beat Arsenal we cannot rely on mistakes by them to score. On past form and ability in the Premier League I would see it as Albion not being serious of winning if the front four were not Izquierdo, Andone and Groß and one other. (NB: Groß takes right footed corners and March and Knockaert left footed ones, but we won't get many.)

Doubt Jose will be fit........?
