Let's stink this out.

Oh we won’t fail to deliver on that

[Mac76]

I don’t think Lewis-Skelly is that great (although I’m not knocking him, it’s his age), Calafiori is better on the ball and as I’ve said repeatedly you are far less likely to see whoever plays on the left being isolated with the Italian playing behind him.

I think he was at fault for that Brentford goal

[HCZ_Reborn]

The lineup only reaffirms the fact the team is not balanced.

We really need to make good use of this transfer window and get some attacking players.

Attacking Players plural? As much as I’d like to see that…I’d have to say that’s incredibly optimistic

I think he was at fault for that Brentford goal

Yes he was, no argument there. But I’m less concerned about conceding goals than not scoring them

Although so was Raya…you shouldn’t get beaten at your near post unless the ball is struck so hard it would break your wrist if you got your hand to it

[Mac76]

Jesus should have done better but offside anyway

[McNamara That Ghost...]

NWANERI!!!

[Mac76]

Nwaneriiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[21_GOONER_SALUTE]

The funny thing is his first few touches have he's been really poor....but this is the thing about real talent, you just need a moment to make a difference. Great goal and great decision making.

[Mac76]

Jorginho totallly scuppered that FK routine

Disagree with your last paragraph slightly, speaking as a keeper, albeit in a 6 a side team.

If you've got a defender between the attacker and the near post, it can be redundant to cover that area at the expense of shifting over a couple of paces towards the far post, ensuring a greater overall level of coverage.

If the defender then lets the ball through, it's on him.
