I wonder if Frank will start shifting to a back 3 for the bigger games at some point, something he did a lot against the 'big 6' when he was at Brentford.

It also makes sense given the fact that we're not progressing the ball through the midfield as it is, so might as well focus on overloads out wide..

Why on earth would you still have Richarlison starting...?

Is this indicative of us being shite at getting pens or whatever isn't "open play" (direct free kicks?) or just the Pulis-style way it has been going with Arteta's influence
 
Palhinha-Bentancur in a 2 man midfield would get overrun by other teams' trios pretty often, think of Casemiro-Fernandes but worse in terms of ball playing and athleticism.

At the same time, this notion of addressing the neverending winger issue by getting rid of the role altogether via a back 3 is enticing. Week in and week out are we fielding a weak link or two in XI just to be able to have 2 players out there that technically count as wingers.

Looks like we are the most entertaining team in the premier league.

Not sure what that says about the league’s current entertainment value.
 
Interesting discussion with Stadium Drummer about lack of atmosphere in the stadium, reasons for it and what can be done about it to help the players.

Some good ideas here re. singing section and working with Vinai etc.

Somehow we need to bring singers together and reward them. It's doable, but just takes some imagination.

They need to introduce much cheaper tickets for those under (say) 23. And cheap kids tickets

The stadium will continue to get worse and worse as match going fans are priced out. To be replaced with wealthier tamer fans. Its almost an ethnic cleansing of the working class traditional supporter.
 
Frank is doing a good job with a mediocre squad. We need back to back CL qualifying and a long term manager.

We may have to play pragmatic football to cover the lack of talent in attacking and midfield areas.

We really need some difference makers in Jan or next summer. Toney would be good.
 
We’re not building anything here. Squad is awful but Frank has shown nothing so far. It’s literally Nuno 2.0, same shit hole in midfield, same lack of creativity. We’re gonna lose badly to United and Arse and then there’ll be a decision to make.
