If Robles and Kone started instead of Howard and Lennon we would have won last night.

I suppose with the thread name being what it is we can add to this the discussion that our captain can't seem to pass to a blue shirt recently, and on Saturday he seemed to have perfected a lovely lobbed ball out wide to nobody.

Now that is worth consideration, accept Lennon as a squad player but never convinced about him being first choice. Against Aresenal still trying to come to grips playing two wingers and one striker whose heading of crosses is not that great. Kone should have started not Lennon IMO.

We need to stop letting teams shoot at our goal.

We could always floor board the goal up no need for him then!

Around 1986

For me it was the most obvious confirmation that the opposition have found our Achilles heel....weak goalkeeping and suspect defending crosses.

I was really surprised to see Giroud coming in for Wallcott, think you nailed it as to why Giroud was brought in.

Arsenal don't sod about at the back, straight up the middle to Giroud if needs be. No chance of their defenders bein pressed down in the same manner they did to us.

I noticed yesterday that we consistently brought Deulofeu back to defend corners yet left Lukaku on the halfway line. Could someone please have a stab at why this might be?
