So dam annoying everytime all 10 of our players are asked to defend. Whenever we clear the ball for a break everyone is in their half defending and nobody there positioned to break

Fulham and Brighton man, Arteta cannot figure them out. Strange, as he can pretty much everyone else lol.
One of our big problems in these types of games where we haven't managed to get the first goal is that one goal for the opposition can see insurmountable.
We really need to rethink our attacking patterns. Little to no threat in behind or quick switch of play. Fulham seem very content for us to continue passing it in front of them
Burnwinter you're talking about him as if he didn't score that goal last season versus Chelsea. He can hit a football.
I'd have to watch it back but don't recall there being any other options available without him having to wait for someone to make a run.
That was way better from Rice, pity he couldn't stretch to it.
Trossards been very quiet too. Wouldn't mind Martinelli on to give us something different in the second half.
awooga83 entire gameplan is so fucking finely manicured. Players don't know what to do when we fall behind. Until at least HT team talk.

Don Pacifico you're talking about him as if he didn't score that goal last season versus Chelsea. He can hit a football.
He's scored quite a few screamers and had some huge ones for West Ham too, but he's no Lampard mate. If Rice tries a rib-high Zidane volley from five yards outside the area it's going way high.
Edit: should add it's still a pretty small matter, just in my opinion he shouldn't take those on.
we're playing games with basically the same team as last year, and surprise surprise, getting similar or worse results. you can't have a non-existent left side year on year and do nothing to address it
Burnwinter it's another aspect of the attacking set up that we've neglected or chosen not to improve and leaves us far too one dimensional.
Any streams around?

No card for Bassey. We got 2 players sent off for the same shit
Once again only Arsenal get booked for delaying play
Gazza M Arteta: Oh yes you can!
We're creating nothing
They got their goal and can snuff out the middle like other teams do. The horse shoe is out today
We are suffering with no left back. I'd get Tierney on
The worst thing about this is I don't see much in the way of options on the bench to change things up. Maybe swap MLS in for Jorginho and push Partey into midfield?
