If only we'd signed a quality striker in the transfer window, we'd have so many more options. The lack of strikers only increases CH's natural desire to be defensive and play with the whole team behind the ball at this level

:lolol: Thanks for that given how we appear to have played. I needed a laugh.

Sounds like our fans are STILL outsinging Arsenal?

Not actually watching so not qualified to commentate on today's game but can we afford to venture upfield using our fullbacks against teams with quick wingers? Maybe the greyhound will oust Bruno and give us more attacking options? I am a massive Bruno fan but I do think he is a weak link in an...

I sense a Hughton out thread brewing :smile:

Whatever smoke and mirrors bullshit come from the clubs PR team he is not a Premier League quality no 9 and never has been. He has just been asked to give it ago because we don't have any other options. Jamie Murphy. AK or Solly March are not the answer either, although it hasn't stopped us...

Chelsea only had 38% possession at home yesterday and I think they have rather more quality players than we do. We are fecked before we start against the top six, damage limitation is not really such a bad idea. Not much fun for us but surely we could all see it coming?

Not having any release up front puts massive pressure on defenders. There are 5 or 6 teams that we won't be able to live with home or away not having a pacey tricky striker just makes it more difficult.

Has a a lot to do with the complete absence of a Premier League quality quick striker in our squad.

Undone by a back heel again?

That's what I'm using

Nope won't walk for me abroad

Giving the ball to a team like Arsenal anywhere on the pitch is a bad idea and professional footballers are not knackered after 30 mins. We'll have to agree to differ but 11 men behind the ball and hoofed clearances is not the answer imo

Yeah but we are not Spurs :rolleyes:

The quality of the opposition will substantially influence how we can play, so it probably has plenty to do with Arsenal

Well I haven't given up on us yet. In fairness I am only gettting NSC and Radio 5 updates so can't see how outplayed we have been

Bruno was always going to get exposed by pace by the top teams at this level. He is almost a grand father ffs

Yeah, you'd think we were playing Rochdale, the expectations are crazy, the fact that we are still in the game is a bonus imo.

Hoofing the ball just gives it back to them and is League 2 stuff. Trying to keep the ball is a much better tactic imo, except in the last five mins when row z should always be the option.

:lolol: classic NSC! How many minutes has he played in the season so far?
