Oh Arsenal

[Niall_Quinn]

Apart from Nwaneri who has tried to make things happen, the lethargy up front is painful to watch. Hammers move the ball twice as fast when attacking. We just, plod, plod, plod. Tip, tap.

[Niall_Quinn]

Merino is playing in the middle of the pitch most of the time. He's utterly ineffective as a striker.

[Niall_Quinn]

HT 0-1 pure pain.


We should sell Nwaneri and get as much money as we can. He's wasted here.

[HCZ_Reborn]

Not at all surprised by this. I think we lulled ourselves into a false sense of security with those two goals against Leicester

The game is now over of course. You can’t expect to get back into a game when you have no strikers and will be punished on the counter attack. Arteta of course won’t learn that lesson so we will concede a second on the counter most likely

[Niall_Quinn]

Get MLS on for Calafiore. First and foremost we need to tighten up the defence.

Get Tierney on for Merino and swap him with Nwaneri. Should be Sterling but we already know that wouldn't yield anything.

Deck chairs on the Titanic

This game is over, move onto the next

Hardly. I wouldn't say WH are a good team. But we've given them so much time and space when they emerge from their shell. If we up the tempo we'll get a few goals. If we continue tapping it around so we can win the possession trophy, yes okay, game over.

[HCZ_Reborn]

Doesn’t matter if they are a good team. If we go behind in any game now, that’s it. We don’t have the players to break down a team that will play 11 behind the ball. Almost 50% of the goals we’ve scored in the league this season are on the treatment table. We might get a goal back from a piece of individual brilliance but as you say the only one likely to provide that is Nwaneri and they will put two or three players on him.

[Niall_Quinn]

Don't think there are any subs and that's quite hard to believe given that first half performance. If at first you totally fail, fail, fail again.
