It's incredible isn't it. We see what can happen when we look to go forward with pace and immediately see what happens when we play the way Russell wants us to.

Archer transmogrified into Fernandes after that goal was scored.

I'll stfu

Unbelievable. We were playing really good stuff with our defence on the half way line, ended up dropping backwards until we're playing it around between our keeper and centrebacks and wouldn't you know, we hand the momentum to Arsenal.

Playing some really good stuff so we decide to pass it back and drop deeper so we're under more pressure.

Dibling is superb.

What a stupid fucking foul to commit. Archers first contribution to the game.

Trossards the player that will make the difference for them when he comes on.

They're solid, doing well defensively but nothing else is happening. Arsenal are also putting next to no effort in at all, as soon as they turn it up a notch we'll be in trouble.

Where has this "fleeting" and "sustained" nonsense come from with regards to pulling players back

If he hates Paul I'd have rather see Diaz or Armstrong, someone experienced who knows how to put themselves about and win a freekick or two to take the pressure off. Archer just looks lost.

100%. Refs a prick.

Players in space on the break when we win the ball back there and we fucking pass it backwards. Fuck off.

Maybe we're onto something here. If we never have the ball then we can't give it away in stupid positions and concede.

Maybe get off your phone and go warm up with some vigour, Paul.

Doesn't tally up with his assertion that he's going to play the same way no matter what either.

I'm starting to realise what the problem is....logjam of strikers all over again.

Nope Archer. Fuck is the point in having Onuachu on the bench.

What a fucking waste of time and money he has been. First time he's touched and he's probably out for the season.

Especially with the likes of Sulemana, Armstrong and Archer not being utilised for their pace.

Only if you've got KWP in your fantasy football team.

Dangerous break, here we go lads, now's the time - pass it back to the defence!

Bodes well for Mannings performance today.

Ramsdales being fouled for every corner so far and the ref isn't spotting it.

You got to wonder really...if we're not playing this style of football to dominate possession then what exactly are we playing it for.
