it's the lack of goals that will do for us, if anything. changing formation may help, but I can see us panic buying in January and paying through thee nose.

We need to get Conor in there somewhere for his delivery , set pieces and goals . especially If we can play Marvelous and Luis together with Jack and Conor further up.   Jota and EGZ are very poor at the moment , easily pushed off the ball . Id leave Trez on the bench for now too.

It would be interesting to know how people would have viewed things generally if palace had not of beaten united, Norwich beaten Man City and Newcastle gone to spurs and won. All results that not many would have predicted. We could do with an “expected win” ourselves. Let’s just hope we get one at the Emirates.

Agree. Marvellous and Luiw together would allow jack and john mc ginn to play higher and not tire too soon in the game. JMG disappeared 2nd half.

Well if we had held on against Spurs for a win or a point , beaten Bournemouth , drawn at Palace and won last night v West Ham then I know we be viewing things as successful and with far less questioning than the actual


Absolute genius. 😂😂

- I'm not sure there are three worse teams than us. 

We're 4th bottom, so yes, there are.

I actually thought we looked the most solid as a defensive unit so far this season. West Ham barely looked like scoring and Heaton had little to do. It's the second clean sheet but we rode our luck not to concede against Everton and Palace could have got more. I think Nakamba made a difference protecting, he's got a quicker turn of pace, he's snappier in the tackle and his positional sense is better than Hourahane and Douglas in that defensive position. Those 2 will be more effective further up the field, I'm sure a damn sight more effective than anyone that has played those wing positions so far. The formation we play cries out for quality on those wings, players that won't give the ball away cheaply and will create for others and score goals themselves. We're seeing none of that at the moment, Wesley looks isolated (and I think he'll be a good player with the right support), and I have to say so far Grealish is not having the impact in that attacking midfield role.
Ultimately it's the creativity and lack of quality and numbers in the final third that is letting us down. We need much better from the wingers, better players there or we need to tweak the formation from an attacking point of view.

What a daft comment.  Just because there's 3 teams with fewer points after 5 games doesn't mean there are 3 worse teams.  Do you truly think we're a better team than Wolves with our current squads?

By that logic if we lose to Arsenal and find ourselves in the bottom 3 you'll be saying we'll be relegated as we'll be one of the worst 3 teams?

There is nothing wrong with playing one up front, as Spurs have shown. What we need to do is get Grealish and McGinn into the games in the danger areas like Spurs do with Ali, Son and Eriksen. Surely  the whole idea of playing just one up front is to give a couple of attacking midfielders the freedom and licence to attack.
