Chaaay AFC 357 Posted January 7, 2018 Share Posted January 7, 2018 Not a fan of 3 at the back with the players on the field. I think a 4 at the back would be far more effective and get much better use from Iwobi and Nelson. Think Forest have a more than decent chance here, but we will see.

Two 0-0's and by the sounds of it, Leicester's game was duller than this one. Sad but true. In other news we've opened one stand for the replay. We're an absolute joke in this competition and don't deserve to come close to winning it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lucas 3,827 Posted January 7, 2018 Share Posted January 7, 2018 Well done to Newport, they deserved it and I don't mind them having their moment. We were very poor. 9 changes was always going to get us into a bit of bother but I'd liked to have thought that those coming in would have been desperate to make a case to be in the first team. I can safely say that most of those that have not pushed themselves any closer to starting for us. Hope Newport get another big game now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chaaay AFC 357 Posted January 7, 2018 Share Posted January 7, 2018 Fucking awful first half. Midfield absolutely shocking! Elneny, Willock and Iwobi are all completely shit. Once you go past Ramsey, Wilshere and Xhaka our midfield is completely terrible. The most laughable thing is though we are playing a high line with Mertesacker and Holding as our CB's... unbelievable, and with no midfield pressure it has been so easy for Forest to get in behind. Front three have been fine, Nelson has done well and Maitland-Niles has had another solid game, but seriously not good enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wenger is probably throwing this game because of his touchline ban. He was made to look a fool last season when he was serving his previous touchline ban, and Stevie Bould went and smashed Southampton away 5-0 in the FA Cup.

SirBalon 2,692 Posted January 7, 2018 Share Posted January 7, 2018 People going on about Maitland-Niles... All this "he plays so comfortably on the ball". I don't translate it that way... For me that's called lethargy. We need dynamism and not someone who thinks he's Zidane. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know what you're saying mate, he is almost useless offensively for is at times as he refuses to use his left foot. He gets into great crossing positions but always cuts it back onto his right. To be fair to him he is a midfielder playing at LB. Penalty Forest... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
