[Albion] team v ARSENAL

[BensGrandad]

I've given him 2 thumbsup tonight....worrying

....rock on BG

thanks but I bet the other poster who uses that emoji wouldnt agree

 

[portlock seagull]

I'd be tempted to send a message to Duffy & Dunk and pair Balogun with White; show both that their discipline is costing us and they can't just come straight back into the team on reputation.

Similarly, promote one of the under 23 attacking players onto the bench

I thought that the idea was to try to win games

 

[Hampster Gull]

Pugh

Pew, Barney, McGrew, Cuthbert

Dibble, Andone, Grubb, Billan

Bentha, Flowerpotmen

Could do a job. Either way, We're DOOMED I tell thee. McWhohe OUT!!!!

Definitely DOOMED.

So I’d go with

Ryan
Bruno, Duffy, Balagon, Bernardo, Montoya, Bong
Stephens, Kayal, Propper, Bissouma

That should do it

More likely to win if we have the same number of players on the pitch as the opposition plus the current attacking force isn't exactly...

 

[West Upper Seagull]

You obviously have no idea about football then, an Arsenal side that wait for you to come to them then pick you off, and very fast at counter attacking, yet very susceptible to counter attacks themselves. todays line-up and formation would be perfect for arsenal, but a little more defensive.

I’ve played the game at a decent level for many years so i’ll keep my opinion and you stick to yours

 

[sir albion]

Can't believe some want Stephens playing

I’m not sure that’s a good idea against a team with the top scorer in the league.

Tempted...but yes, Duffy will take his place and let’s hope he doesn’t see a red again

 

[attila]

Do we really have to play without Dunk against Arsenal because the referee booked the wrong player? Is a yellow card not contestable under any circumstances? Because if so that is ridiculous.

 

[sebtucknott]

Ryan
Bruno Duffy Balogun Barnardo
Stephens Propper
March Bissouma Locadia
Andone

It is of course the ridiculous option.

 

[Bold Seagull]

Ryan
Montoya - Balogun - Duffy - Bernard​

March - Propper - Bissouma​

Andone - Gross​

Murray​

Christmas Tree formation - obviously

Yeah sacrifice a game just to prove a point to two players who have been amongst the most impressive during our time in the Prem.

Brainless

 

[Ecosse Exile]

Ryan
Montoya Duffy Balogun Bernardo
Kayal Propper Bissouma
Knockaert Andone Locadia

Subs: Bruno White Bong Stephens Gross March Murray

 

[Cowfold Seagull]

Locadia did ok in the first half but I wouldn’t describe him as impressive ! Sorry but he simply should not start against Arsenal.

We need to go 4-4-2 for this one and play Andone and Murray together and take the game to them. The team I want to see is:

Ryan
Montoya - Balogun - Duffy - Bernard​

March - Propper - Bissouma - Knockaert
Murray - Andone​

Yes I absolutely agree, that would be my starting eleven too, with the possible exception of Bruno for Montoya, as we need a recognised captain on the field.

Taking the game to Arsenal is exactly what we need to do. We lost the game afgainst Chelsea principally because we gave them fat too much respect in the first half, stood off them, let them play and suddenly we were 2-0 down. A fast start is important, and more than anything we need to show intent.

 

[samtheseagull]

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

You mean the shot was smashed right at him and was going wide anyway? Some people are ****ing thick

 

[Wilko]

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

 

[Nixonator]

You heard it lads, we need to TAKE THE GAME TO THEM and ATTACK ATTACK ATTACK a side that is as lethal at countering as they are vulnerable to it
