Fulham v Arsenal Sunday Dec 8th 14 KO

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.

Burnwinter

awooga83 I like what Havertz does but we need at least one more star forward with "main character energy" to get the most out of Havertz.

But then that's why second rank on the summer wishlist was a left winger with pace to burn who was world class one-on-one and could strike it (first was Zubimendi).

MistaT

Any streams around?

Tactics

No card for Bassey. We got 2 players sent off for the same shit

Qwiss

Once again only Arsenal get booked for delaying play

naz

Qwiss twice. They did it twice

Bring Back Kerrea Gilbert

Gazza M Arteta: Oh yes you can!

naz

We're creating nothing

naz

They got their goal and can snuff out the middle like other teams do. The horse shoe is out today

GooneriC

We are suffering with no left back. I'd get Tierney on

Don Pacifico

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?

Qwiss

Don Pacifico Martinelli and Nwaneri are on the bench. Big time game changers.

Claudius

Goodness. I didn’t even realise that ESR was playing

Qwiss

Claudius did more than Trossard and Havertz

Don Pacifico

Qwiss can't see Martinelli doing much against this backline but forgot about Nwaneri. 🤞

This i match shows the kind of limitation for Arteta's management, his way of playing and squad building. His set up too restricted and I don't think good enough to win titles with due to it being so limited to everything being perfect and when it doesn't quite click it's very hard to get the outcomes we need

awooga83

Burnwinter I agree he's accomplished for what he can do and it's a great player in the squad but he has severe limitations. So often if we transition the ball gets up to him but he has no pace or technical quality to push the attack forwards so always has to turn back and wait for the rest of the team to catch up which kills the threat on this moments so often.

Segway

Ugh. Frustrating stuff. Can't believe we somehow conceded.

Dom

Depressing match so far. If control ball and set pieces don't work, Arteta and his players look lost. No counter-attacking threat and zero pace from left the flank.

flobaba

Time for Arteta to earn his bread. We don’t win this and any title ambitions we have is over.

Qwiss

Partey, Jorginho and Timber are all playing poorly. Surely it'd be worth switching Partey and Timber to their main positions and bringing on Lewis-Skelly at LB here.

Burnwinter

Qwiss Tierney or Skelly from the start could've been good. Unfortunately Arteta would often rather "repurpose" players than allow second stringers to take part.
