Ole’s team never had this level of control away against top teams, as far as I can remember: we’ve actually had more possession than they have.That’s the most compact and well drilled I’ve seen this team this season.
I'm not talking about the approach. The approach is fine. I'm talking about the inability to cause any sort of danger for the opposition, poor touches, lack of guile etc.
Not really sure how that can be debated. Saliba/Timber have been bullying Hojlund and Garnacho with ease so far.We have clearly set up for a draw, and its working so far.
I hope we make changes and go for the win around min 60.
He's playing wellReally decent that, not frantically trying to score within 30 seconds of getting the ball really helps.Dalot really needs to work of his shooting. Just hit the target, is it so hard? As a professional footballer, how can you miss the goals? I hope Amad and Rashford comes on in the 70 mins and put Arsenal to bed.
That seems tactical? Even Bruno is controlling his impulses on the ball.Amorim has proven to be brilliant in his 2nd half adjustments so far. I'm hoping we come out like Sporting came out vs. City in the CL.
Introduce Amad when they're a bit more tired.If we can hold them to a draw that's fantastic work
Amad will be on for him by the hour mark in a probably pre planned subWe've been solid, efficient but a bit dull. But it's a change from previous difficult away games where we've been opened up like a tin of beans.
If we go behind, what's our plan b?!Mazraoui is such a baller. High football IQ + plays all the positions.
On, off, same same..
We’re gonna say how much risk Amorim is willing to take. Will he stick with the defensive lineup and 0 creativity.. or will he go for itAmorim plan working so far. Rashford and Amad will change the game.We don't know how to move the ball forward against their defense. The players are confused and can't find the right passes.
I second thatWe’ve been very solid and measured, in a tough away game. People complaining are undoubtedly weird.We are playing well, but it is just that the arsenal is very good and well structured.I would like to change all front 3 for Amad, Rash and Zee.
Good first half. Solid.
Totally agree, this is a grown up performance, that I’ve wanted to see that we are capable of for a long time. If we can do the same till the 70th min then we should look to make changes and go for it.Most have played well so far except our attack, I’d look to bring on Zirkzee for Rasmus if he doesn’t improve his hold up and general game.
I would bring on Amad for Garnacho without changing our defensive shape and increase our threat in attack.
Crazy, how a player without "some technical ability" scored that goal-of-the-season last season...
Have a feeling Malacia will get a second yellow if he doesn’t come off.I mean we look comfortable in possession without being threatening, which is better than previous away games against this type of opposition. We usually look all over the place.
Especially coming off the back of his injury. He certainly isn’t holding back.Very pleased with the discipline on show, disappointed in the lack of attacking threat but I'd take more of the same in the second half.Is it by design that Garnacho and Dalot is not crossing? Obviously Hoijund is in the box but nothing is coming in. If Amorim is not preparing to attack then take Garnacho off.Nice to see a manager with a bit of a structure to his set up and have us look like we've actually got a plan.
Plan B would be to attack more I should think. Plan A is to hold them and then go for it if the opportunities arise.Not a bad half. Kept them very quiet to the point it’s been a boring match. Questions on some of our players not totally exposed yet. Second half we bring on the game-winners.Probably bring on Amad, Rashford and Zirkzee after an hour for Hojlund, Garnacho and Malacia and go for the win (and so Malacia doesn't get a 2nd yellow, not that he even deserved 1 of them)
Best player in the half
It's like that armband dude and Wolverhampton again.@Cheimoon, Geert won't like this post.
Not just us being dull. It's also Arsenal and everybody else. Football is so safe now.
Doubt it. He just doesnt fancy it.Garnacho loses the ball under no pressure so much it's infuriatingI love to see swashbuckling attacking football but it's good to see a bit of pragmatism today. Our football
has felt really chaotic for ages now and this is the first game I've seen in a long while against good opposition where we look controlled and composed.
Arsenal really haven't come at us much and we're set up to be solid defensively and counter so we've cancelled each other out. I can see it opening up a bit as this half goes on as Arsenal won't want a draw here.- Status
