[Albion] So how do we score against those gooners?

With the gooners defence so hard to penetrate, what is the best way to get around those organised lads?

I hope we have the fire power now.🙂

So what would you do and who can open up White and co, like a tin of tuna?

Fish puns if you like.🫣

I was thinking more about how we defend.

I think this season is different to the second half of last season where we were lucky to have a sole attempt on goal. I think this season the wingers should be able to plaice the ball on Welbeck or Pedro's mullet creating more chances. A bit like today. 🙂

I think we'll need to find a way to control the first 15-20 minutes before growing in to the game. Not taking anything away from our fantastic start but I think we've started poorly in both games and been fortunate not to be punished.

RDZ's tactic of patiently building up from the back with neat little triangles meant we often dictated the pace in the opening stages and waited for gaps/opportunities to present themselves.

Arsenal are going to be tough opponents but I've seen enough to suggest we'll give then a good game. That said, a tweak in tactics where the defence is offered a bit more protection from midfield might be in order, we have the attacking talent to catch them on the break.
