[rascal]

I wonder if we'll start playing today

 

[UpperLeftBlue]

this is awful. no desire which is worse than capitulation.

Besic is having a mare so far

 

[quasi modo]

Arsenal pressing us high forcing mistakes, while we just sit back and invite pressure.

 

[FumarNotArsed]

Why would you waste one player at the corner kick. Just get them in the box

 

[SunKing]

Arsenal pressing us, giving us no time on the ball, bit like what we did to Chelsea.

Yep amazing to see such a switch in approach to our game v Chelsea, we pressed them aggressively from minute one. I know Arsenal are a better passing side than Chelsea but this stand off tactic is just slowing down the tempo.

Baines needs to start working on his set pieces again

 

[riddick]

We look like a team that doesn't practice corners. Or set pieces. Or defence. Or defensive positional awareness. Or throw ins.

 

[The Mighty Quint]

He's Baines got his boots on the wrong feet?

 

[Darth Vader]

Another great showing from Ross "Diamond" Barkley

 

[coollino]

Love how the OS Twitter puts a spin on things lol

 

[Azza]

Was that corner setup for real?!

Did I actually just see that?! lol lol lol

 

[DualityNSNO]

He struggles at a higher tempo.

He's come on loads like, just needs to keep improving. Needs too much time on the ball and it shows against quicker teams.

Plus he was injured.

He'll learn to be a bit quicker imo, just not exactly the idea circumstances for him here.

 

[quasi modo]

How many times! Simply ball you bellends!

 

[TyphooToffee]

You say potato, I say you're wrong

Poor generally or poor today?
