Forced changes might help Arsenal out of their rut. Also Martinelli is fit for them, but we possibly are at full strength

Pulisic is the only man doing anything offensively, and we can't get him the ball. Why is Werner starting again? I'd rather see CHO and Pulisic on the wings.
It was the same story during project restart. 200 mil in signings haven’t made any difference whatsoever. No Kepa to blame, no missing LB to lament. What is going on?
Adapt or die in the premier league. You have to prevent teams adapting to your style whilst adapting to best theirs. We benefitted from a large number of new players for a while but now teams have us figured out once more. If we cant find a better approach we will be mid table for a while. Lampard will not get much time to sort this out. For a start whoever is meant to be on the right of midfield needs to cover back. Every attack james (who should be resting his knee) is handling 2 or 3. Who is meant to be in front of him? We have reverted into a passive approach with mistakes punished. The boss needs to fix that, it's his job.
in a rut right now where every mistake we make is punished hard to make much of an argument that we should be leading when we can't even get a shot on target
I've exploded at anger at that f*cking so called penalty, we even have VAR FFS! I've switched off, I can't stand such a f*ckin decision, it's nothing short of outrageous! I'm away from the TV until I've calmed down.
Well that's that. Next two games are tricky. Those of you who remember the bad old days when Chelsea collapsed over the Christmas fixtures
