I just presumed Ely was coming off when Diallo was coming on, seemed the simple obvious change, so obviously that didn’t happen and baz, ffs 2 weeks in a row setting everything up on the penalty spot. 3 weeks in a row, City, palace and now Arsholesanal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watch is not turn up in the next game and revert to a similar performance to that of Palace/Forest etc. Honestly i'd put much more of the blame on the freedom of the city they were given from the throw in. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

melmacian_saint Posted 21 April, 2023 Share Posted 21 April, 2023 Disappointing, I'm glad with our attitude, we showed we want to get into every game with a strong mentality. Lavia should've come out, not Alcaraz, who should not have left the pitch to be replaced by Diallo until added on time. Pegging the team back completely with two lines of 5, sitting way too deep with 15 minutes to play, allowing Arsenal and especially Odegaard (ZERO pressure in the build up to both goals) to come at us and pick passes in the final third killed us. You can't lock up with so much time to go. A draw is a good result, but the way in which things have ended means that our confidence boost is muted. In any case, this frustrating outcome at a big game for the PL season will have given us some fire and hope, which I believe will be enough to see us beat Bournemouth. It all feels a little too late, but.. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dman Posted 21 April, 2023 Share Posted 21 April, 2023 Neville said before the game (was in reference to Arsenal not holding onto leads in recent weeks), when you’re up against it, you need someone to hold the ball or you end up dropping deeper and deeper. Taking Lavia off removed our ability to hold on to the ball, have them space and is what lead to the 2 goals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
macca155 Posted 21 April, 2023 Share Posted 21 April, 2023 Can console myself that a draw is a decentcreturn but not when you have a 2 goal lead with a few minutes to go. They played well, what I could see, for the first 70 mins. Bunch of idiots in front of us sadly. Once the subs came on, and our 2 best players were removed, it was always on the cards. Why Armstrong, like Aribo last week just ridiculous. I like Bazunu but he has cost us this year gifting the ball in the penalty area. McCarthy should have been given a chance. Maybe that performance will boost them for Bournmouth and Forest. Sadly I suspect the weak squad will cost us in those games as well. Crucially that point puts us in contact with Forest and Everton.
