    We're probably going to need a 4 or 5 game winning streak. Hopefully we start tonight.

      We're not at our best and Sunderland are unbeaten at Home.

      However, the fact that it is a c-h-a-n-c-e to get within 3 points of the Mancs, versus where we could have been after tonight in the worst-case-scenario of them beating West Ham while we lose to Sunderland......I'll absolutely take it.

      At present the Head says we aren't getting a Champion's League spot but the Heart wants what it wants and as long as we remain semi-realistically capable, I'm naturally invested - especially while we still have "six-pointers" to come late in the season.

      Fingers and toes tightly crossed.
      All sunderland need to do is mark hugo & Wirtz out the game and hope they're not on it

      Gakpo and salah aren't exactly a problem

      Bournemouth have even scored more goals than us.... fuck the wide players.

        I'm inclined to agree.

        I think we're looking at needing maybe 12 points ( absolute minimum 10 points) from the next five -

        Sunderland
        Nottingham Forest
        West Ham (Anfield)
        Wolves
        Tottenham (Anfield)

        - to get ourselves back into the Top Five (ideally Top Four) and set ourselves up for those potentially monumental matches later in the season where we face Villa, Chelsea and Man United.

        How "leggy" the squad looks does concern me a lot. We need a run of form, we need a couple of "favours" and we probably need a mad last-ditch winner type of game to re-energise things mentally - that or navigating our Champion's League tie comfortably - just something to give the lads a lift.

          IF we can win tonight - and they are due a loss at home at some point... then we have to match United.. new manager bounce surely wane's at some point.. Beat them at Old Shythouse.. and it's on.. Have to keep Chelsea in our sights too. Can also be done they are very erratic...a good amount of games left.


          BUT mostly we need to be far more BOLD. I don't know why we aren't able to just - blow away - some of these sides with such inferior players... It's time..

              Arsenal press and counter press has been immense

                    See why Brentford brought in Hendo, not started tonight but their press and counter press is superb

                    Same reason Tuchel wants to take him to the WC

                      Really shows how incredibly valuable a top class press and counter press is, when they win it they’re all very well placed to attack

                        Arsenal got Havertz Saka Martinelli and Jesus to bring on second half though and Zubimendi

                          Oh Zubimendi is playing

                          Another we fucked up not pursuing aggressively enough

                            That’s with Odegaard and Merino out their squad is fucking ridiculous sort of squad we should have built under Jurgen

                              HT 0-0 Brentford with the best chance

                              No efforts on target for the Arsenal unless one of their corners counted

                                Can someone explain .....the two clubs I most detest in the prem are Man City and Chelsea. But I would prefer to see City win the league than Arsenal.
                                btw Van den Berg has really developed and fulfilled his potential. He was just too early, too young when he was at Liverpool.
