Try Raya as a striker?

[goonertux]

If Havertz was the answer, please tell me what the f*ck was the question? Totally anonymous. Hook him for Trossard or Smith-Rowe permanently.

[BFG4]

The comparisons to Wenger are beyond obvious with Arteta. He has fucked away 65 mil on Havertz and will persist with him, no matter how shit he is.

[Stuart L (2)]

Rice is quality, Eddie is still Eddie, havertz is baffling even to himself but we are way the better side, let's finish some of these chances.

The most baffling thing is Trossard not starting.

Rice controlling the game from deep and quite often free on the edge of the box for a strike on goal if we play a square ball instead of crossing it ( expecting Havertz or Eddie to score )

Lots of possession not a lot of damage done to their defence, need Trossard on for some trickery.

They are dangerous on the counter.

Martinelli had been poor as well, but Nketiah should get the hook. I want Havertz to succeed, but he has been anonymous again.

Can Smith Rowe get some minutes?

Martinelli and Tierney always work well together, every time Tomi gets the ball he keeps turning back and playing it backwards inside, rather than passing first time along the flank...That's why Martinelli went over to the right flank to try and get in the game.

Eddie????

Everyone knows that palace want to crowd us so playing a right footer at left back is forcing us into an already crowded area, and a few times martinelli went into the middle too and that made it worse
We need to keep pitch wide and put white at right full on overlapping runs, and instruct zinchenko to do same on left side

[Midz]

Been impressed with Rice in that half. I'm confident he'll do well for us but Havertz is making it very difficult to support him. We all want him to do well but he's been shite so far.

[Natural Born Gooner]

Was just going to stick up for Nkeiteh after he hit the post but he can fuck right off after that spoon foot shot!

The good news is only 3 more clear cut chances needed for him to take one and score

He last scored in January, so he's due. Mind you he got TWO in that game, so maybe he's not quite due yet?

He scored last weekend against Forest mate

[A11M11]

I had forgotten how mind numbingly boring tgeir crowd is

I said that earlier and rodders lost his shit

[Natural Born Gooner]

Penalty! Now put it away

[Perryashburtongroves]

Penalty. Book him now.

[Reno Gooner]

If Ayew hadn't already been booked, he would have been there. Should have been a red.

[xgtdec]

Wtf, no yellow

He did with Willian too.

Ps - don't let Saka take it
