Fulham v Arsenal Sunday Dec 8th 14 KO

Claudius

TambourineMan why is every game hyped up as a final?

SimplyThePest

Claudius probably because we’ve had a chequered start to the season and that to hit a title-winning points total now means way less margin for error…

TambourineMan

Claudius because it is when you're 7 points behind the leaders. It wouldn't be if things were closer or we were the ones with a 7 point lead.

If the title is not the goal, then it's not a cup final.

Bring Back Kerrea Gilbert

Pepe LeFrits Rice at CB, Merino left 8. What was the point in signing him?

Big Willie

naz Parteys been bad so far.

Looks like he's being influenced by the booing. Very scared game he's playing

Qwiss

Havertz isn't getting into the game enough.

Burnwinter

Qwiss Havertz isn't getting into the game enough.

It's one of those matches where having a centre forward who's a sort of elusive awkward mystery man is frustrating. He's not a target and he doesn't take it on himself, so he doesn't give our attack structure so much as rely on others to produce it.

Clrnc

Being beaten by our cast offs will be quite sometbing

Gazza M

odegaard has actually had plenty of pockets of space to work in. not sure what he's doing today

Big Willie

He's being swarmed as soon as he gets the ball tbh.

Burnwinter

Don Pacifico Disagree, if anything it's the second he's wasted. He doesn't tend to go close with those efforts.

Don Pacifico

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.

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.

Big Willie

Our game's fallen off a cliff since the goal. We were playing well to start with but have gone into our shells a bit.

Clrnc

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

HomeSteak

Fulham and Brighton man, Arteta cannot figure them out. Strange, as he can pretty much everyone else lol.

awooga83

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.

Bring Back Kerrea Gilbert

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.

Tactics

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

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.

Burnwinter

That was way better from Rice, pity he couldn't stretch to it.

Qwiss

Trossards been very quiet too. Wouldn't mind Martinelli on to give us something different in the second half.
