It just feels like we haven't "Switched On"

Difference in the city match was we let them have the ball but were solid when they came forward, here they are standing off too much when the scum have the ball in our half

That's it Welbz. Show a bit of heart. Danny Rose is a nobody prick.

We are falling into the usual trap. If you're going to be defensive/negative and limit attacking opportunities, you sure as fuck have to be a lot more solid defensively.

The way we're playing means we are creating no chances but they are finding loads of space.

Agree that this game is crying out for Rosicky.

Ref is having one BAD game....


This is THE "Weirdest" NLD game I've ever watched....the scum are up for it - even to the point of diving for non-existent fouls..Whereas we seem to be in a 'fog' - other than a piece of Brilliance by Ozil we've made mistake after mistake - we are lucky to be ahead...

Santi needs to come off - Bring on Rosicky he can defend and he always brings forward motion to the team

Bellerin and the right flank are a concern


Well done Welbz - that diving *word censored* - went down like a whore in a brothel

Well...we're winning...not sure for how much longer if we keep giving them the ball.
Need a change but obviously will have to wait for 70th min...think I'll probably have had a heart attack by then though.

Happy with the scoreline at HT, but we are dodgy at the back. pulling aload of players into the centre does not mean that you will defend well, especially when you leave yourself exposed on the wings. Ospina has been excellent, but a lot of the saves he has had to make have come off our mistakes. We are trying to force it every time, instead of just passing it to the side. Also, the ref should fuck off, in no way was what Welbeck did on Rose, worthy of a yellow, especially when Ozil was kicked earlier, with no yellow given.

Santi can't make his usual runs because Aaron keeps getting into the space he wants to go into, I'm not sure playing both of them works in a game like this where we have to weather a lot of possession, I think TR7 is better at making space with his off the ball runs :rubchin:
