A decent season (or what's left of it) from Brady would be a real bonus.
Brownhill's ball winning is excellent.

Season has only just started. A lot of potential from him this season. If he keeps his place, it means he's playing very well.

Glad Martin Tyler commented on the “water pump”

Thought there was an issue with the humming on my stream

It's on the TV.

Just turned the sound off to make sure it wasn't my house

Cross whipped in from the left...10 seconds later pope is launching it up field from another backward pass.

Under 10 sides can attack better than us.

I like the way we try to get Pope involved in all our attacking positions.

It begs the question... why?

Why is McNeil being told to turn and pass it back. Why?

Just... why?

Confidence my son don't take risks football, only doing what they are told

These big grounds are good when they are full but it doesn't sound like there is anybody in attendance. Fulhams crowd was much better.

Westwood off for Benson

Vydra on for wood

Would actually get the ball on the deck

On a par with the Manc derby so far.

A lack of quality on show by both sides.

Poor half. Will take 0-0.

Brownhill outstanding first half, he’s covered every blade of grass!

Is it just me who finds this overplaying at the back arrogant

They’re absolutely awful at it too, every time we’ve been arsed to press them from the front they’ve handed us the ball.

Decent first half , just need Wood to put it away

Half time. Should be one up.

All I can hear is some annoying irritating buzzing noise, sounds like a helicopter directly above the stadium?

NickBFC · Post by **NickBFC** » Sun Dec 13, 2020 8:03 pm

Big half needed. Both sides are fragile, first goal is key. Would be happy with a point but we need a win and soon.

You can’t watch much football. All teams pass backwards if there is nothing on going forwards.

Their there for the taking, get Vydra on wood off, stretch the defence put him as link man behind jay rod, we need a win not another bore draw

Never be a better time to beat arsenal they are dire

tiger76 · Post by **tiger76** » Sun Dec 13, 2020 8:06 pm

Strange half we've not really played great, but it's 0-0 at the break, and we've probably had the clearest chance of the game.

We just need to have some belief in the 2nd half, because this game is there for us if we want it enough, Arsenal look average at best.

Dark Cloud · Post by **Dark Cloud** » Sun Dec 13, 2020 8:06 pm

Pope's kicking is Arsenal's most dangerous player. I'll take the draw right now.

Wood needs to add more energy in his game, there were a few times we could have caught them better with the playing out of the back. And he should definitely have put the header away.

bfcjg · Post by **bfcjg** » Sun Dec 13, 2020 8:07 pm

I think we are doing well, solid at back and we will get another chance.

Yes FF. Not doing much up front but wood should have scored.
If we push forward, maybe we will get a goal.

They are very slow.

Dark Cloud · Post by **Dark Cloud** » Sun Dec 13, 2020 8:09 pm

This is absolutely the poorest Arsenal team I've seen in forever. They are not in a false league position. Whatever happens tonight, they are not going anywhere.

Love to know which game you’ve been watching! If you’re counting Wood chance, they should of scored 2 if it wasn’t for Pope.

beddie · Post by **beddie** » Sun Dec 13, 2020 8:10 pm

We've done okay. The buzzing noise was doing my head in too. They said it's a waterpump in use because of the rain, it's normally not heard due to crowd noise. I'd take 0-0.

Hoping there may be three points here. Don’t think we’ve been a battered as the Arsenal supporters club on sky commentary seem to think. Had Wood got his lines right we’d be able to really tear them up.

A quick goal for us and Arsenals fragile confidence could be in tatters.

Come on You Clarets!
