Nobody Is Coming!
Country: England
Some have been waiting for a result like this to have a moan.
So what was he supposed to do? Its a free header so he had to try.
I originally thought that looked like a nasty tackle but they never said anything about it. To be honest, the entire broadcast of the game was explicitly favorable towards Southampton.
Don't recall even seeing a replay on sky
We don't have cb's that are good enough otherwise we wouldn't have conceded 23 goals.
It's pretty f*cking obvious. Mustafi isn't a starting cb at all. We've scored more goals than every team but City, we need a winger at some point but centre back is the obvious priority.
Our attack will be more than enough for top four if Laca and Aubameyang start games together regularly.
The AMN - Monreal - Koscielny - Bellerin back four have played a few times haven't they?
Not even a joke. We need some kind of winger like that. I don't care if we've scored the second most goals in the league, our attack doesn't convince me and I go as far as saying it's woeful.We really missed Saka this game.
Who should have played at centre-back then instead of our only available centre-back?
Also the need for a CB is overstated imo, we’re inviting all the pressure on to us by not having enough quality in midfield and out wide.
I think he did pick up a knock actuallyOk, at least it's a view even if I don't think it would have worked. Is Pleggy fit though because he wasn't even on the bench against Qarabag?
I would have played Bellerin,Kos,Monreal and Lich in a back 4. That would have allowed Xhaka to move in to midfield and give is something control with Torreira and also drop back to make a back 5 if necessary. Drop Guendouzi from the starting line up. Play Ramsey, Miki and Auba with Laca up front. Don't play any two of Iwobi, Miki or Özil at the same time at any stage of the game. We have to try and win a game early as come backs are exhausting especially if it becomes the norm.I am as disappointed as the next man but sorry, it isn't good enough to say that Emery was to blame for that defence without explaining exactly who you would have selected instead.
Only a Mourinho masterclass can salvage this day somewhat
Can't disagree. He should have chased to win it back. But we still had a chance to clear our lines. Having failed all round,you hope your keeper can bail you out.The earliest opportunity on that third goal was with Özil.
They wouldn't get beyond us this season. Can't be having Liverpool pulling away into double figures.What difference would that make? That just puts utd closer to us.
Well it's not Wenger or Gerry Peyton now. Cech didn't really fail. He simply can't play out from the back. Our number 1 GK has had a gentle well managed intro to the PL. He should be doing better. If its not the coaches....I agree he hasn’t been good, but when all our GKs are failing the issue can’t lay with them.
We have been better defensively since the beginning of the season, but there are the same issues that have been there since Merte broke
