Arsenal next. They're average at best, shit at the back and yet I am genuinely scared we might take an almighty kicking.

West Ham at home with 10 men and they outplayed us. Sorry mate but I think this is way over the top. They had more possession but failed to register a shot on target.You might be right mate it’s just a feeling, but looking at the body language of Grealish and McGinn, the swagger has gone. That’s the bit that worries me the most. 0-0 against a decent PL side where we probably edged them isn’t a bad result. But the momentum just seems to be flowing the wrong way and the players seem to be aware of it.

Sadly, we look increasingly cowed by PL opposition. West Ham at home with 10 men and they outplayed us.
I can see Wesley having some fun against Luiz next weekend mind.
Just as a thought... do you think we could get a midfield to work that incorporated Marvellous, Douglas, McGinn and Grealish? Hourihane deserves a chance too... he’s a regular goal threat and that’s something we’re missing at the moment.
Wesley’s header in the first half. I like him, but most strikers score those 9 times out of 10. We can’t afford the luxury of of missing chances like that if we’re going to create bugger all and try and edge games.

If those two players in particular, lose the belief in what they are doing, because it's so hard in this division, we will be bang in trouble because they have been the heartbeat of the side. I wonder if them two playing in a more advanced position is a better way to go?
In the hole?

I don't rate him at the mo and really find him frustrating to watch. Wesley offers little ball control and see it as a dud signing. Sporting director recruitment looks miss in this one.Hope I'm proved wrong !Boy do I miss Tammy Abraham.But to gamble on this hop along Wesley one of the most underwhelming attacking Brazilian players I've ever seen well I rather have developed Davis and see him in.This whole recruitment as to grow investment is all well and good but I'm seriously questioning Wesley ability right now and anyone who isn't really should because that's not what we expect from a premier league striker. Average footballer , ineffective and just lacks much dynamism. He should nt be for a Dean Smith team for me I don't know why spent that money for him bumbling that front line ! Annoying !
