We seem to say it often.....with Iwobi and MickyT playing it’s like we have 9 or 10 men. There’s zero balance to the team, zero creativity. For me it needs a double sub at half time again with those two off and Laca and Ramsey on.

Koscielny rightly being questioned but I bet he doesn’t get a shout from Xhaka (to be fair not a CB) and moreover Bellerin is a shithouse. The guy is 40 yards out and on the touch line, Bellerin is too scared of getting skinned and so stands off and lets the guy wait to pick out a cross under zero pressure. It’s utter shit.

Was just about to hammer both Mkhitaryan and Iwobi, have been garbage as usual but good bit of work by both there.

Still a negative team selection and we just lack a presence and focal point away from home without Lacazette.

Hopefully he pushes on from now.

The games crying out for Ramsey tbh. We need more support in the box. I’ll be surprised if dick doesn’t hook iwobi at half time.

Even worse from Kosciely that time. Lead in his boots, out of position, daydreaming, the lot.

Agreed. Just no dynamism.

Who is this fucking nobody refereeing?

Defensively gash and fuck all going forward, how iwobi retains his place is a bit of a mystery.

No creativity in midfield and why do we keep on playing Iwobi?? What are the coaches seeing in him that we're not?
And can we please please get in a defensive coach who knows what they are doing. FFS Danny fucking Ings is on a hat trick against us. :banghead:

Our midfield is shocking. Doozy and Torreira are fine but the others just aren’t cutting it. Kos has been utter shit, you want to cut him some slack but top players don’t fuck up like that.

I'll be honest i've never rated Koscielny. He has always looked lightweight, fragile and simply lacks focus and concentration when it's most required.

I can forgive being shit at the back as we have injuries and suspensions but what pisses me off is the lack of chances created, We had the goal and the Aubameyang chance and that's it for 45 minutes against piss poor opposition waiting to be smashed. The same thing happened with the lack of chances against Huddersfield, and it's going to catch up with us, some day.
