Pre Match Pre Match - Brentford (A) - Sat 15:00

So you prefer the Jones who at one time literally just stood on the ball for like 5 secs close to the edge of their box? I almost threw the tea mug at the screen screaming "fucking move you cunt" !

I'm surprised you had any more cups left after seemingly throwing many at the screen when abusing Rubans last night 🤣

Yeah I was ready for bed at 07.00 - and you know how us oldies can get without our beauty sleep !
 
Jones has played 50% less minutes and has scored more goals this season. So yes - i'd opt for that. He feels more clutch to me. Obviously still raw, but neither player is finished article. Szobo is Keita vibes for me - the idea of Szobo is better than the reality of Szobo. I love his pressing, and think he's best in our team when we have less of the ball. In games where we have more of the possession i'd take Jones every time.
Well Jones was given chances against both Man U and Spurs and did fuck all.
 
so fucking shite that day man. Pathetic that some players couldn't be arsed raising their game for united.
 
I just hope we win.

Its frustrating to not pull away further from the chasing pack.

It's frustrating because man city are off this year, and we don't really have competitors ... arsenal are an average team, Chelsea aren't ready and forest are not at our level ... if we blow it, it would be like arsenal vs Leicester...

Another Misplaced morning hissy fit from Froggy would be a better term, not really funny or healthy for the forum but allowed to happen. SCM is like meta without moderation now.

Let’s hope Salah plays better or knives would be out again. No Diaz, Jots and give Szbo a go. Would also stick Endo in for Macca in for this game seen as away, some added stability in center to help Gravy at least first half. Macca gives away too many fouls.
 
Annoyingly arsenal aren't an average team. They're a very good team in a slump. We've been desensitized by our own brilliance and man city's continued brilliance.

They have a great backline, decent middle - though very very reliant on one player for creativity, and limited goal scoring threats and meh goalkeeper.
They're not a team that's nearly as good as we were in competing with City (or even Arsenal last year - health has been a factor this year, but their attacking play is just not there).
 
I don’t get why Trent was so highly thought of last night. His passing was way off. Corners shite. And still got beat a few times.

Bradley has to come in. Jota starts. The rest of the side picks itself.
Trent has been more inconsistent than usual the last month or so. Misplacing passes a lot. MacAllister is the other one I've noticed doing it too. I agree about Bradley, we look more defensively coherent with him in the team anyway. I might even put Chiesa in on the left with Jota and Salah the other two forwards. Endo, Grav and Harvey in the middle. And then Kostas, Van Dijk and Ibou alongside the Tayto Terrier. Fuck it. Too many of our players are playing inconsistently at the moment.

There's no way Slot makes five changes to a team for a league game.
 
Tsimikas and Jota have to come in.

They're the two essentials. I'm ambivilant on Jones/Szobo - both gave been off it lately. The thing in Jones favour is he keeps the damn ball, which we can benefit from as the whole team has been careless with it recent games and it kills the momentum of attacks.

We have to hope Allison and Konate return to pre season levels, too. As it stands there's not enough players consiatently in form across the starting eleven and they have to start putting that right.

Brentford are not as good defensively as Forrest, but they can be as equally damaging on the counter. It will be a game for Grav, VVD and Konate to have to be right on it in terms of covering the space and winning the first and second balls. If we do get ahead then I'd welcome Endo coming on earlier to hold with Grav and provide some structure down our right hand side to mitigate for Trent and Konate getting targeted.
 
People would all be panicking if other teams could put something together. Arsenal aren't in good form and I expect them to be four points off us after today. It's not that it's the end of the world, it's just that I hoped we would push on and settle this earlier. Doing so makes the rest of the season and the rest of the competitions easier. I don't want arsenal hanging around with a game a week later this season while we drag ourselves through a marathon.

It's not this last game either, I think we win it more often than not. The United game was a hard one for me to take and it's the succession of dropped points across several games now.
Perspective, perspective, perspective.

Latest form table below. Arsenal have gained 2 points over the last 6 matches - but from clearly easier games.

Go fuck yourself Rubans. As if you didn't play your part you self-righteous twat.
 
We all want Jota to start, but I have a feeling that Slot will fuck around and start Diaz up front again and use Jota as an impact sub against tired legs.

SCM has never really had moderation. There are very few red lines.

Froggy hasn't really crossed any (and trust me, we've had our fair share of disagreements, and yes he usually goes personal when challenged), just put him on ignore if you are that bothered.

Otherwise just use the Jennifer Lawrence gif and move on.

Again? If the mods had any backbone you should be banned for being sanctimonious cunt.
What part did I play? I posted reactive post like rest of us on a match thread, you reacted with same old BS sweary post quoting it and fitting with your usual agenda and then all personal on subequent posts . If you think this is acceptable then it's cuntish way to behave. Not for the first time, same with certain posters. Maybe you hae an issue with certain kind of people talking back? what's your fucking problem?

Oh pls with that generic reply, seriously. Have you seen his original post or latest one? name calling and swearing?
People have been warned for less, not sure if you are speaking from experience. He is being a total cunt on repeated occasions.
Why should I put him on ignore? Seriously have a back bone and call it what it is. Trivializing such issues is BS.
If this is the level of moderation then happy to decend to meet his level going forward.

I have a problem with you for being a self-righteous, sanctimonious, can do no wrong cunt.
