Forest vs Arsenal, City Ground Tuesday 30 January, 19:30 GMT

Weaknesses in crucial areas both at the back and in front of goal feels like a collective lack of confidence/loss of concentration.

HomeSteak

the forest player time wasting for us lol.

flobaba

Lol, var checked this.

HomeSteak

flobaba they would take any chance to fuck us over lol. he was pushed by his own team mate

IBL

Eddie surely concussed there, ouch

Qwiss

Havertz can't even keep the ball in the corner.

Bring Back Kerrea Gilbert

Pissed off. Honestly what the fuck was that goal and then the panic stations? Aaarrrggghhh this team.

Arteta will give them a piece of his mind.

IBL

Phew, 3 points

Qwiss

Good away win. Happy days. Liverpool next is the real test.

Bring Back Kerrea Gilbert

Leo was boss btw.

Qwiss

Bring Back Kerrea Gilbert should've just dribbled around for the added time, no one could get near him.

Claudius

Beat Pool on weekend and we are back in business. So far Villa trailing as well.

HomeSteak

Claudius getting spanked. Brighton as well. Strange

Qwiss

Claudius it's a top 3 then the rest. We need to make sure we don't end up as the default 3rd or it'll be a dull run in.

naz

What an awful game, a wins a win

awooga83

Results are what we need but not been convinced by the team so far. Need to hold we are building some momentum here but it doesn't look like we are a team likely to roll out a run of wins.

flobaba

Win. I'll take it, but I'm deeply dissatisfied by how we are playing this season

daredevil

flobaba

We're one of the most dominant teams in the league. The football and structures are fine, we're just lacking quality in the final third. Jesus and Odegaard were good enough to take us back into the CL, but certainly question marks now if they score and create enough. Need to bring players in their positions to support them.

Claudius

We are 2nd in league - with games in hand for City. Best xGA. 2nd best GA. Up to 3rd best xG. And tied 4th on goals.

I have a feeling this team is going to have a strong end to the campaign.

Claudius

There is a simple solve to more shots. It’s a less rigid attack. But will probably also mean more turnovers and more work recovering the ball or defending. The one thing that’s quite consistent is we don’t face a lot of attacks. I think Arteta is fine with the possession without us running up and down to defend.

This is true but our defensive panics have started to become more of a feature in our games.

I've said many a time that I understand the shift in emphasis we've made this season but I'm still not sure the execution is right. Confidence (which seems lacking) will help but our persistent struggles against low block teams tells me there's still some evolution required in how we play.
