for the rest of the season, we'll get enough out of the bottom 10 clubs to stay up.
Before anyone disagrees, Arsenal are one of the best if not the best team in the league at home, and have blown other teams away, and better ones than us. [Post edited 27 Dec 2024 22:17]

Yep agree. It'll be enough. Will cause teams problems trying to get through us. We just need to get better on the counter. |  |

Not sure about that - we would still need to score some goals, and we barely had a sniff tonight. |  |

Which formation?
We were poor first half in the new formation but the second half we reverted to our normal formation and were much better.

Hmmmm. Not so sure. Arsenal are weak against team who "low block". Other teams are not.
We need some sort of threat to score too. |  | | |

Was still the same SB but arsenal went deeper their wave of attacks reduced meaning we were able to be more 3 4 3 on the ball. | |

2nd half tweak and a bit more brave then maybe. But I think it's an away strategy against the top 6-7. | |

I still believe we have shown some glimpses that it is possible for us to come 3rd in a 6 team mini league at the bottom of the table. Which would in fairness be a hugely successful season. | | | |

I wouldn’t be opposed to that approach, but we do need to offer more going forward or it’s a bit futile. Thought broadhead showed a bit more guile than many tonight. I’d be tempted to start him soon. | | | |

No it wasn't.
I was sitting high in the stand and it was very clearly 4231 in the second half with O'Shea right back and Johnson right of the 3.
Might not have come across on TV but it was clear from that position to my eye.

First half it definitely looked like 5-3-1-1 or 5-2-2-1. | | | |

It’s not just tonight though is it? Just the 16 goals in 18 games is becoming a bit of a monkey on our back. Tonight wasn’t unexpected but we’ve struggled against everyone (except Chelsea).
A good shift tonight though and we didn’t disgrace ourselves at all in the end. Second half was at least a contest. |  |

Well yes on TV I could count 5 town players in a line when arsenal attacked. It got more flexible as the half went on and arsenal went into their own deep mode as I agreed earlier. We didn't just revert to 4 2 3 1. Imo. But happy to agree to differ. | |

I think you should go back and watch it again.

Good Good so McKenna is learning.
Broadhead has always been a dangerous player want to see him more.
And please swap Al Hamedi out in January, tries hard, but we need a more powerful player. |  |

Did we change that much in 2nd half?
That first half was a really solid defensive display. Give them credit STokie. |  |

Certainly set up like that against the better sides in this league. Although, we need to have a bit more belief in the opponent’s final third. Too many times we’re in good positions and don’t get the ball in the box or even get a shot off. | |

Sorry but Frimley is correct.
When Arsenal attacked, they were clearly 5 in a row a number of times. Definitely 5 at the back first half when Arsenal had the ball, which was over 80% of the time. | | | |

Yes, we changed in the second half as I said above.
First half was solid but we created nothing, no touches at all in their box. Second half was much better.

I think you need to read the thread.
I'm talking only about the second half when we definitely changed formation.
