[Nuggets]

Good result poor game of football, against a team of pubbers we should have done better.

I know this might sound weird given we've won 3-0 and have been comfortable for the entire game, but I've not been impressed with us at all tonight. I actually think we've been quite poor. We've just been strolling for most of the game even after the early goal. There's been no drive or aggression to the game at all. Passing has been well below par. Very little intelligent movement. It's all been pretty limp.

We've had 22 shots on goal, but our goals came from an OG and two set-pieces. Not really convincing, for me.

I want to give the players benefit of the doubt and assume they're conserving energy for the Southampton game, but I also wanted us to see us make a real statement of intent tonight. We just haven't done it.

BATE are truly an awful side who have offered nothing the entire game, which is why we've been so comfortable.

But on tonight's performance, we'll get steamrolled by anyone with a modicum of quality.

Not good enough at all.

That's not weird, that's what pretty much most fans see, and how we've been all season to be fair.

You carry momentum and form into games so yes, it's a worry. No chemistry in attack.

[Power n Glory]

We need to move Aubameyang back to playing on the wing when Lacazette gets back.

I think this formation is best

[ag6789]

Move on. Better than all the doom and gloom prior to this. Hope we have a better run from now on.
Hope Ozil , Mikhi gels w/ Auba and Laca and we get a trophy.

I think this formation is best

Yeah, bit better than the 3-4-3 loss 0-1 to a pub team that's not played a game in 2019.

Its got to be because we keep leaving out our best midfielders, the players replacing them are simply not good enough and by the time the likes of Ozil or Ramsey appear back in the team they've not played together in weeks if not nigh on months.

How are we expected to gel or get in form? remember the Leicester and Fulham game?

Those games came about because we were playing our 1st best team regularly.

Recently we've been relying on the likes of Iwobi to carry our attack, tonight showed he can't mix it with the likes of Ozil, he's just not on the same page skill wise as the likes of Laca and Auba, Ramsey even Mikhi has a higher ceiling when he can get a run of form.

Sick of us wondering why we're doing sh*t when the answer is obvious, look who we have on the pitch!! over half our regular 1st eleven are bang average players.
