We've got a few good ball playing CBs who can step out into midfield and full backs suited to playing as wing backs.
    Something about it resetting the mind-set of players too, perhaps. The formation alone doesn't explain how they were suddenly winning balls, 'snapping into tackles', as they say, and roughing opponents up.

    Right. It's the way a manager can show them what his priorities are this week. I doubt Wenger would even mind the goal Manchester City scored too much.

    I bloody did.

    Keeper bottled it. I'll let WES point out who gave the ball away with almost everyone ahead of it.

    Oh, yes. Fair enough but it was supposed to be against Pepball, not Allardyceball.

    Point is, when they were in control (first half), they barely laid a glove on us.

    BTW, at that moment both little master WES and, I'm told, little master SW, learned some new words which their respective fathers asked them to forget.

    Keep your breath for cooling your porridge, imo. Boys just need to learn discretion, and preferably from *you*.

    They are going to be men, after all. Hopefully.
