The Weekend’s Other Games 01/01/21

More hopeless West Brom defending as they narrowly avert gifting Arsenal comedic og third goal, then clear one off the line and finally lashed home for 3-0.
West Brom’s defence has more holes than a fishing net.

That just makes our inability to get more than a single solitary goal against them all the more galling.

And that was before Arsenal made it 4-0.

Lacazette totally free 6 yards out to slam the ball home for 4-0. West Brom keeper apoplectic

How??? HOW did we fail to beat these???

Good glad they are getting hammered 4-0.

They rode their luck against us first half etc these things happen no need to whinge about it, they did stay in the game though but they are no good the league tells you that.

Hopefully WBA go down they even have a far worse GD than Sheff Utd.

I reckon that a season with Blackburn will be enough for him. He can finish his development here next season he's that good.

Same, had the attributes to succeed and has started adding the incisive end product at a reasonable level of football, he seemed to lack a little

arsenal Four -0

Can't wait for this CB to come in to help

maybe we can get some more shots on target v southampton

Yup. That was always my problem with him. He had all the ability, but come the decisive moment, did nothing. It seemed to be a lack of confidence. Hopefully that’s something that this loan will give him. There is definitely a very good player in there.

Is he going to help our forwards become more clinical or add the creativity and goals that isn't being provided by our midfield?

Didn't you know? we're going to play him as CF for his height/strength no worries he'll track back to CB when we don't have the ball

So when are we resigning Downing to provide the crosses for this aerial behemoth to get on the end of?

I ask this because there is no way FSG will be signing them both in a window, and certainly not the January one.

[LEGS]

You might mock but a quality CB helps us push up the pitch and we can box the opposition in more.

With Phillips he would be ok against Burnley who have big lumps but anyone with pace/movement is a big concern.

Fab isn’t quick but he is excellent in one v one duals.

It’s no good moaning about results from last week/month they are gone now all we need to be bothered about is Southampton.
