He defo wants to get sacked with that lineup

 

[DanEFC92]

Is this must win today or expected loss?

Both

 

[Igrok]

Happy to see a Jonjoe but I don’t really know what to think anymore

I don’t know what our best team is and neither does Ron

Our pre-season is so long...

 

[kenada_blue]

Probably right
Crazy to say how much we need a CM when you consider how strong we thought our midfield was going to be this year.
I think a defeat and another bad performance will finish Ronald.

Well, I think that's what Klassen was brought in.

But due to the fact he's a 10 year old trapped in a man's body, he must be well over the moon his position is taken by a teenage winger.

I actually really like that formation to be fair, only thing is Davies should be playing.

 

[Tony1985]

Vlasic in centre mid?? I’m quietly confident about today tho, 2-0 blues COYB.

 

[chippy1722]

Arsenal’s defence and midfield don’t look that great if we can somehow get out of our half, unfortunately they have a really front 3 who will target Williams all day long.
First 20 minutes are gonna be key, if we defend too deep it’s game over.

We've won 1 game playing 5 at the back this season and that was against Stoke.

We did it against Chelsea ... lost. Same formation against United and got rinsed.

Me too, until you factor in that it relies on at least one ball playing centre back, fast attacking wing backs and a strong forward.

A clean sheet? WHAT

Their midfield can string passes together and have two goalscorers who bag 20 a season.

It'll be a long day.

 

[Bluecranks]

I like the look of that team. Lack of an experienced striker stands out like a sore thumb, but decent line-up. Kind of emphasises that our problem is confidence-related (or manager-related) rather than a lack of quality. COYB

 

[Tony1985]

Sky sports showing Rooney in Center mid alongside Gueye, never seen Rooney as a Center mid but it might work.

 

[BigshoutLB]

But certainly better than playing a 19 year old winger there, no?

Especially if you're not playing Davies.

We need a CM like massively.

Huge job on for Idrissa in there today.

Probably knowing them,let it carry on despite how close to the bottom and how bad we are,forget how bad we are. they care about how they are seen to people on the outside

I acually always admired our owners sticking by their managers, especailly Moyes he had some bad runs and I acually called for him to be sacked a fair few times, but one thing Moyes was good at here was turning it around and stopping the rot. They then stuck by Martinez miles to long which was a mistake, but I can't blame then to much for that as the mind set was still there to give a manager time (but then then had been warned) so what have they done stood by the next manager at least a month to long up to now, Martinez had no idea how to stop the rot but Koeman has took that to another level, at the moment he looks the worst manager in Europe he really does look that bad and so far out of his depth, I wouldn't be surprised if he's walking around the titanic. Whatever happens today mark my words that, these bad times will be back again sooner rather than later.
