Trossard awful get Jesus on second half.
Jesus is a much, much better player when he'sinjured. Two games back and you'llremember how proficient he is in failing to score.

Saka has lost some of his game
Robinson slipped he had a huge opportunity to take advantage and just walked into the other defender when he should have pinged it straight across the 6 yard box for Havertz…………oh, wait .

He looks the most likely to do something but it’s just not coming off. Martinelli on the other side needs to get his head up. Has been in great positions a few time but he’s running looking down at the ball.

He’s good in tight situations in the box and could create something for us. Everything is bouncing off Trossard, he’s contributed fuck all.

We could win this 3 or 4-1 or could lose it 2-0.

Just a reminder that we are playing Fulham who without Mitrovic are a nothing team - they lost 3-0 at home to Brentford last week

This is shocking. This is going to be a long hard season and we are nowhere near top 4 standard at present.

Our goal will come but will we concede again?

Parteys passing is shocking at times
I say it every game about Ben White, moves at the speed of a slug and less decisive than a slug
Saka is very erratic
Havertz is shit, we all see it except Arteta. He'll play at least 80 mins again if not the full game and Arteta will take Martinelli off instead of him
Trossard has been very poor, he's better out wide. I'd play Martinelli through the middle as there is no speed to get behind that defence, push Tross out wide left

We won’t win anything by 3 because we haven’t got a top striker - been saying that since Jesus got injured nearly a year ago!
Early part of this year we somehow got away with but we have been like this since the end of March!

Goal was down to Saka, he has been awful; he's just not 'present' so Hook Saka bring on Jesus


Hook Kiwior and bring on Zinchenko


Every player to a man / boy has been Bad; Odegaard and Rice the best of a poor bunch.

We could so easily be 3 nil down.


This (new) defensive: back-line and Midfield system is simply Not working - It was suspect in our first 2 games and this is Proof. :?

I was screaming about the Havertz signing from day 1, but fuck me, he's worse than even I thought. Offers nothing, either with or without the ball and always loses a 50/50.

At least 6 positions of 11 are different in personnel/position compared to last season

RB, RCB, LCB, LB
DCM, one of the no.8s

You just can't make that many changes and expect all to be ok.
A defence is to keep out goals. It is arrogant in the extreme to not take it seriously. There are lots of dangerous teams in this league. Somebody like Brighton could beat us well if this continues.
