Subscriber Dan+ Posted February 27, 2021 Subscriber Share Posted February 27, 2021 I was really confident of this before Thursday. The worry for me now is that we look shattered. You could see it against Villa as we dropped off massively in the game, but it was even more evident on Thursday. Merge that with a general lack of any creativity available for us and I think there's a decent chance we drop points in this. I'm a bit torn how I feel about things. We're the only team in the league who has been in the top 4 from the first weekend and to drop out again would be a bad look. I sort of feel like it's inevitable though, the squad is being pushed to the max. Thankfully Arsenal haven't got it much better, but we look noticeably tired.

Administrator Stan Posted February 28, 2021 Author Administrator Share Posted February 28, 2021 As expected, for us. Kasper Castagne - Evans - Soyuncu - Thomas Ndidi - Tielemans Ricardo - Iheanacho - Barnes Vardy No Aubameyang, Saka, Odegaard for Arsenal. Willian starts which means he plays his best game in an Arsenal shirt so far... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted February 28, 2021 Share Posted February 28, 2021 The Big 6 should just be referred to as The Greedy 6 now. Leicester City are streaks ahead of them all bar Man City at the minute. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chaaay AFC Posted February 28, 2021 Share Posted February 28, 2021 Absolutely farcical starting XI by Arteta, fortunately missing this one due to work. I know we was in Greece on Thursday, but we don't play a game midweek. Surely he could've gone a bit stronger against a very tough opponent away from home? We'll be lucky to get anything from this.

Administrator Stan Posted February 28, 2021 Author Administrator Share Posted February 28, 2021 VAR used perfectly well there. Won't hear a peep about it though. Not the done thing to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, the whole point of VAR is so we don’t have confusion and get the right decision. That’s clearly not been the case since it’s introduction last season. I’m not going to praise it for getting decisions right when we have some of the farcical shit we see still happening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrator Stan Posted February 28, 2021 Author Administrator Share Posted February 28, 2021 9 minutes ago, shut up said: Pepe roasting that Thomas guy. Need Saka on for Willian at HT Finally, Thomas is booked, after about 10 fouls on Pepe. He'll be lucky to see the game out 10 Just a couple of dives by Pepe in that too. Anyway, I think Thomas will be brought off anyway and have Castagne on the left, Ricardo on the right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was used well for both penalty decisions. If you only remember when it is used badly though you will have a negative view of it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danny Posted February 28, 2021 Share Posted February 28, 2021 Don’t think Leicester can be too aggrieved, just sat back and offered nothing going forward after their lead. Nicholas Pepe really causing problems down that right hand side Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just now, shut up said: You're bottling just like every season. You always run out of steam Every season? What you on about Last season was the first time we've bottled anything so you can take that shit out the window. We look fucking knackered. Europa League schedule, thin squad, injuries to key players. No wonder your second string are doing better cos they're perhaps fresher and haven't played as much? I know you're quite a biased fan but it's not rocket science to ask why you're doing better than us right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Subscriber Dan+ Posted February 28, 2021 Subscriber Share Posted February 28, 2021 We've been pretty dire. I get playing on the counter here but I feel like we've had about 10 touches of the ball all half. With Arsenal's bench too I can't see us getting anything from this now.

Subscriber JoshBRFC+ Posted February 28, 2021 Subscriber Share Posted February 28, 2021 Leicester having 20% possession in a home game against a team that’s got Elmeny, Willian and Cedric Soares. I’d be biting to the opposition aswell @Stan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subscriber Dan+ Posted February 28, 2021 Subscriber Share Posted February 28, 2021 Problem here is they've got some of their best players on tbe bench. We've got next to nothing. Once again a completely passive January, despite suffering a quite key injury that month I think is quite likely to cost us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted February 28, 2021 Share Posted February 28, 2021 Robbie savage and Martin keown saying we are bad defensively. But we have the joint fourth best defence in the league which is good for a team that is 11th. Clearly defence isn't the problem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
