I don't believe we'd concede that opening goal but for Arteta breaking up all our settled partnerships around the pitch. We've been lucky the first two games so let's hope that continues in the second half.
Yup. He seems to have put all his eggs in the basket where Timber can play inverted LB, or could have covered CH for Saliba with Tommy out as happened last season.Quote:

It's too much at once, having Kai at left-8 with now the RB inverted and a normal LB. It's not getting Gabby involved enough.
He should maybe try ESR or Leo at left-8, as they can both interchange with Gabby as they've played LW in our system.
And if we need the inverted RB, then at least try KT at LB. He can play as a left CH in a back 3 - like BW did on the right last season. And like BW, he could get forward at times even with the other FB being inverted, and help Gabby out for overlaps etc.
Timber's injury coupled with Kai replacing GX has büggered things as we stand.
Given Zinny is basically a no.10 playing LB, another option would be to play Dec there. TP plays his usual role, and Dec could play as an inverted FB.
That would mean BW is back at RB and Dec - who can defend well enough when out of possession - could work on the left with Gabby and Kai.
The Timber injury is fücking everything up. He needs to deal with it, and it's idiotic, when Kai is having to learn how to play this system, to have also screwed up the BW-MØ-Saka axis on the right.
Vieira coming on in the 55fh minute? Right this is his last chance. All or nothing
I cannot quite understand what ESR’s done wrong. He looked very sharp pre season ?Quote:

Zinny to Gabby to Fabio for the pen.Quote:

Now Fabio for Eddie. THANK GANPATI FOR THAT.Quote:

JAI SHREE GANESHA.

Embarrassing stuff. Against 10 men. Zinchenko is a clown sometimes.
How the fark did we manage to concede at home with them down to 10 men and only 3 minutes to play :headwand:Quote:

That's what happens when the manger overcomplicates things and doesn't have his denfensive linchpin for defending corners on the pitch for some retard reason.Quote:

Wenger out?Quote:

We arguably had the best cb pairing in World football in Big Gabby and Saliba. When they played we lead the best league in the World for the entire season until one was injured. And we lead the best league keeping City below us. Probably the best team ever assembled ever. Absolute down syndrome tactics this. Mental, like proper mental.Quote:

I assume that Timber was the plan to cover for Zinny and also RB/CH. But if he's out then we can't continue like this given Zinny's injury record.
We need to get back to last season's back 4, and if Zinny is injured then we find an alternative to Timber who can play inverted LB, so we don't move BW or Big Gabby.
I don't see why Rice couldn't play the Zinny role with TP5 where he was last season if Zinny's out.
Dec can defend better than Zinny. Many wingers cut inside so being right-footed isn't a prob - cf Tommi vs the Scousers last season. And Dec's got a bright enough football brainto play that role and get the best out of Gabby on the wing.
Fabio was great today. I wanna know if ESR is gonna play soon. But I don't see how Kai will learn to play this role if he's not on the pitch, but if Fabio's doing better, he has to start.
I'd hate all those Kai-haters who said he'd be a waste of money for us to be proved right. But nice to see Fabio step up.
Also, MA should have kept faith with Eddie. Great finish. He may have missed one good chance and hit the post with another last week, but a goal scored or a pen won in each game is fine. And if Eddie had started, we'd still have had Leo as an option to bring on.
I'm really peeved about today. We need to put City under pressure if we're to have any chance.
Stop talking sh1t AAR. We dominated Forest and we’re in complete control away to Palace until that idiot ref sent Tomi off. And we should have won Saturday, 19 shots, 11 on target and two moments of madness resulting in goals conceded.Quote:

Suggest you leave the team selection to Arteta and stop posting crap.
I've always been a fan of both Fabio and Eddie, Wes.Quote:

3. Gabby also scores a lot of goals from corners for a CH. Very useful.
Last season we led the league with Zin-Gab-Wil-Ben at the back. If it ain't broke....
I guess the plan was that Timber could cover for any of them, or at least 3 of them, like a posh Tommi, with Jakob as the alternative LCH.
But while Fabio played a large role when he came on, it was Zinny with BW moving to RB that made the most difference.
:-\ My favourite goal for a long time, that; Eddie looked like Romario there. Even Alan Smith would've been proud of that one.
