Arsenal next. They're average at best, shit at the back and yet I am genuinely scared we might take an almighty kicking.
Arsenal average ?? Since when has any Arsenal team ever been average at best ?Let’s keep a sense of proportion  - Bristol City or Boro are average at best , but not the Gooners , much as I dislike them

Lack of goals, and more importantly, lack of anyone taking responsibility around the opposition box is going to kill us.

Real lack of quality with some of our players tonight including Jack. I have never seen him give the ball away so many times in a single game.

Technics all wrong.
He's our record signing.

Like the look of Nakamba. He was generally neat and tidy and got stuck in.

Any reason why Declan Rice clapped the Holte so passionately at the end of the game and why he received such a good reception? I mean, I have nothing against Declan Rice and I suppose he plays for England, but I was a little confused as to why he was so loved.

I thought it was Snodgrass for a second, but he came and clapped a few minutes later.

Rice was lined up by Steve Bruce to come to us on loan apparently.  He wanted to come to us too. I thought he played well tonight and drove their midfield on.

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.

Shocking . Man should be burying  that . Technics all wrong. Bullet header bang.
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 !

Nothing like giving a bloke a chance eh?

Yeah he's called Davis and he has a contract on the table.
If you tell me Wesley impress you then that's your view but he doesn't impress me for reasons stated.
And to have him as the main striker is more than concerning for me.

You made your point. You don't rate him, we get it.

Vill I An is in a spin.
He'll turn the tables, no worries.

Yeah, too much needle to his posts at the moment.

We were good in defence, played well in patches, played poor in patches but ultimately Dean plays the wrong formation and I think there lies the problem.

You can pick apart the individual performances but again I don’t think we know what we’re doing going forward and that’s down to Dean. 
 
BUT my biggest observation for many many many matches is:

WHY doesn’t our best two players - Jack and McGinn never  seem to link up and carve teams apart? 

They rarely pass to each other? 

Answers on a postcard please!!!!!!

The answers are in the first part of your post I'm afraid. We simply have to play 4231 for about four weeks straight with McGinn, Grealish and one more Hourihane for now in the three. Marvelous put his hand up for one of the holding roles tonight. Not sure Luiz has 90 mins in him yet but can play next to him. I'd be tempted to start Davis up top next day out.

I thought we looked like a pretty comfortable run if the mill mid table top division side, against another one, until the final 3rd when we looked like a championship side trying to step up.  A gam to be won, but a point decent enough.  Work in progress and we will get there.  Engels may well go down as one of the best value signings in the whole league this year.
