jarhead5 Posted October 4 Share Posted October 4 Time to go full r-word (mad Nat). Rambo Bree Harwood-B Bednerak Taylor Suga Lallana Downes KWP Arma Paul Pump it long all game. Bring Archer and Ross when the forwards wear down. A proper Dyche setup. We will get scored on regardless of what we do and we won't get many clear chances. But this might keep it close......er?

Thripp87 Posted October 5 Share Posted October 5 4-0 is a par result. Hopefully it’s a lot more so we can force the hand of Dragan to remove Russ. With no game for two weeks there is no real need for Arteta to ease up. I am regretting laughing at the Pompey fans all week at work following their Stoke result. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oldandtired Posted October 5 Share Posted October 5 I'm torn on this one. Part of me wants the club to go there and beat the mighty Arsenal, it's my club and obviously want them to succeed. The problem I've got is that a big part of me also wants them to go there, play archetypical Russball, get right royally rogered, the board to wake up and give RM his marching orders. At the moment I'm undecided as to which I want more. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
notnowcato Posted October 5 Share Posted October 5 Football is a funny old game…. The gulf in quality between the 2 clubs would suggest we have a near zero chance of leaving their place with anything. I would fucking love it if we did grab something. Arteta is such a cunt on the sidelines, the more raggy he gets the worse his team plays. 4-3-3 please and gorgeous dollop of luck. Up the fucking Saints!! 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The most obvious answer is we win then it can all be “despite Russball, not because…” or some such bollocks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BranfootsLoveChild Posted October 5 Share Posted October 5 I've got a strange feeling Martin will be in charge all season as they can't afford to pay him off. I feel we are going to be a yo yo team like Norwich were for years. He won't change his style. Too stubborn. Damage limitation today. I'll watch the first 30 mins 🤣🤣 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StrangelyBrown Posted October 5 Share Posted October 5 I'm hoping that RM will have a change of heart and play a pragmatic counter attack based on 4-2-3-1: Ramsdale KWP ABK Harwood-Bellis Taylor Downes Lallana Dibling Fernandes Archer Stewart And that we give it a damn good go and keep playing to the very end. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vectraman Posted October 5 Share Posted October 5 After Monday night’s game RM was extolling the virtues of Ross Stewart and Joe Aribo, so I’d assume they’ll both be starting. My best guess (who can predict the tombola line up after all?) is: Ramsdale Sugawara ABK Harwood-Bellis Walker-Peters Downes Aribo Dibling Lallana Fernandes Stewart I think if Stephens wasn’t suspended he’d have gone 5 at the back, so unless out of the blue Bella-Kotchap comes in, I can’t see Wood or Edward’s starting instead. You just never know with our Russ though, there is always one curve ball in there… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Suhari Posted October 5 Share Posted October 5 Ahhh. I see what he's doing. Floating double-fullbacks. Fuck the inverted approach: that's legacy. Two fullbacks on one side, with KWP the one who swaps sides to confuse and overload the opposition. Clever. I like it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
