Yeah like that somewhat wide-open shot from the edge of the box... the ball was smooth as it came to him and he skied it to Row Z.
Halftime. 1-1. Frankly we're lucky not to be losing 1-3. Here's hoping we come out with some more offensive aggressiveness and QUOLITEEEEE and put the hammer down.
Xhaka has been shit... but also the formation is asking him to be way more mobile than he is. So I don't know why he is put out there to fail. If AW doesn't switch to a 5-man midfield to outnumber them in there, I don't even know what to say. Right now we are out numbered in the midfield and the final third, so what is the plan for a forward pass?
The average position chart that they showed at halftime looked like we are keeping our overall shape pretty well, no? The pitch looks slightly dryer now. But it still calls out for some incisive passing rather than around-the-horn stuff. Maybe even some balls in the air or over the top? Heaven forbid.
They said that the last 6 times Wenger has faced Swansea, that they've had 5 different managers. Ouch. But Carvalhal has got them playing much better offensively, actually scoring goals and believing again. He may just last the rest of the season.
Well no Ollie, but we get Mkhi in the 60th minute. We can only hope he does as well as Sanchez did on his United debut. Edit: Meanwhile Cech with a royal f-up and we go down 2-1.
Pretty sure they're higher than us in the form table. Edit: Nope, wrong. We are 6th and they are 12th. But clearly not the worse team in the league ATM.
