No wonder it's flat when we set up like this with no press , no urgency and no challenges until they get into our penalty area

It's Arsenal, lad.

We're half a yard behind them every time.
Much rather this than being on top for the first 15 mins and squandering chances. We'll come in to this at some point.

Myko solid so far
He's very very good.
Always amuses me seeing people slate him saying he does nothing because he's not slotting through balls or going on mazy runs. Baffling stuff
I feel like everyone treats Arsenal with kid gloves. Get into them ffs! They've NEVER liked the physical play.
How are we so consistently behind every single team we play in terms of speed and accuracy in possession? Manager after manager, squad after squad. I might be starting to believe in curses.
We are holding positions rather than pressing the man (which would risk leaving space behind)
Fair enough, pragmatic way to start the game all considered but we can't, and I'm sure we won't - look to play that way all game.

Doesn't look like the players have been working on any tactics in the week. 11 strangers on the field. 777, please remove this manager.

While in general Doucoure’s not great, that was down to an awful ball from Beto.Doucoureloping around, giving the ball away, committing fouls.

I understand opposition defenders will win a fair amount of long balls, but the pass should at least be in the vicinity of your own players.
Hasn’t taken us long to Everton Beto. Lord.
