Lee On Solent Saint

I'd actually go 541 and just try and be as solid as we possibly can. Tell Lyanco to follow Zaha wherever he goes, get in his face and hope he sees the red mist. Actually play Perraud at left back instead of this shit with KWP there. Put KWP back over on the right and give Tino a rest. JWP and Romeo in the centre, Redmond on the right and Djenpo on the other side if he is fit. No idea who is fit for up top, maybe start with Tella as a willing runner or failing that, Long, who might at least be able to hold the ball up.

Exactly. Without De Gea Norwich get something from that game

Yeah, like Norwich. Ironic thing with that game is that without McCarthy we would have won that one

We aren't even remotely close to being a top 10 team. And yes, I do think we are fucked

Got to forget the games against the top 10. Our season will be defined by games against the teams around us. We need results against them.

This is going to get very ugly

Tella isn't young. he's 23

But this shit happens every week!!

Just a shitshow all round. We spend a decent whack for us on a left back and don't even play him

Their bench looks stronger than the starting eleven

I loved this guy when he was with us. Such a shame we couldn't get more out of him

Cheers! Not showing any symptoms yet. Will hope that continues!

The text said until the 18th December, including that date

Well that's me out for the Brentford game. Positive PCR test came back today. Self isolation for the next 10 days. Good luck everyone trying to get into St Marys!

Have a feeling Brentford will be ok. I'd be looking at Brighton for a team to slide down.

I notice that the top 3 get their mandatory easy third round draw. Every year Chelsea draw a lower league team right up until about the quarter finals.

Absolutely agree with this. This Arsenal team is not remotely anywhere near as good as previous Arsenal teams. I fancy us for a point, 1-1.

That's fuckin pathetic. Brighton are shit. Didn't have a kick all game and still come away with point. Just whack the fuckin ball away

Clearly struggling at the moment. Seems desperate to make an impact and this is affecting him. Not too many alternatives though, Broja looks to have a bit more about him, but is equally raw.

Second yellow there

Take a point now

Credit there. Good save

Tino needs to come off

Looks like he is struggling with the pace of the game

Tino is getting ripped apart by Maddison
