By the skin of our teeth, can’t see these lads winning a title, they just crumble far too easily

Havertz with all the strength of a cocktail stick attempting to keep the ball in the corner.... Then Eddie putting in a challenge with about as much vigour as a Dead Slug humping a wet lettuce.

Struggling to score despite having all the possession and chances in games yet conceding from almost every attempt the opposition have is worryingly becoming the norm.

What the fuck is that all about :banghead:

Still big questions to answer about where the goals are going to come from and how many chances we need.

Phew, that was worrying!

We won though and that's the important thing. 3 pts (much needed) and Villa are losing 2-0 to the Geordies at time of writing.

Not seen it.

Glad 3 points. Assume oderaggard was his typical overcomplicated hold on to long self against a apacked defence of relegation fodder?

With him in the team let alone captain plus liabilities like zinchenko, havertz and nketiah we will do very well to get top 4/5.

We need 50 chanches to score oppo always score off 1 of there 3 chances.


We have gone backwards massively and deliberately. Pure self harm.

That’s happening so regularly now it can’t just be a coincidence.

Forest had 3 shots on target tonight, 2 of those came in injury time and one of them was the goal. This is now happening game after game after game.

We had 74% possession, 19 attempts and 10 corners yet we’re hanging on at the death for dear life. Have to fucking put these games that we completely dominate to bed :banghead:

Arteta's system is killing us, don't expect it to be changed!! The bizarre thing is, we're not out of the title race despite being average all season! I'd love to see Partey back alongside Rice in CM, will make a big difference.

We dominate possession for so long in the first half. We need to learn how to dominate it in the last 20 mins so we're not hanging on.
