Centre backs all too shit to play in a back 4 etc 

Ha! The issue was the full backs - no RB for along while.  Bree coming back was massive for our season.

It is so nice to have a manager that can look at the game and come up with a plan. We might still lose this game but he sent the team out there with a plan for this game. The players have done their best to implement that plan and so far it has worked.

Tonda has enhanced his reputation with that half of football. We are playing one of the strongest sides in world football who can change things to win any game. Let’s hope we can keep going in the second half and Tondo can come up with some magic to win this game.

I want to see him with this team, plus good recruitment, in the prem.

Yep. So rather than playing just one square peg in a round hole at RB, we did it all over the pitch instead.

We could really have done with Downes tonight, breaking things up in the middle. 

Agreed. Id like to see Charles on for Bragg soon, we need a bit more experience in there for this part of the game.

Bragg been good. I'd strengthen the midfield a bit by bringing off Fellows for Charles.

Azaz not having one of his better games so far. 

Hard for him to get on the ball if we’re playing it long. It’s a tactics that’s worked for us but it does make you question why he was picked in the first place if that was the approach.

I don't get the thought process of "ball is in dangerous territory with our own defenders, we get it out to a player further up the field, we play it back to the defenders in dangerous territory to try and find a way out again".

Arsenal have been poor. A second for us and I genuinely think we have a chance of winning this. 

Big players coming off the bench for them though.
