No - that's not accurate; the rules were changed about that sometime ago. The goal was very, very messy - difficult to see who did or didn't touch it before Aubameyang.

1902 1,167 Posted September 11, 2021 We were set up to counter, couldn't get the breakthrough but posed some threat. Didn't look like scoring after Arsenal for a goal. A real mixed bag that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
robertociNCFC 91 Posted September 11, 2021 (edited) Good lord, absolutely dreadful Arsenal side made to look like prime Barca in the 2nd half at times. Really need to sort out this attacking situation out real fast as we are having the same issues we had last time around. We had some real signs of quality in the first half but we really need to make the most of those few chances we do get or it's just gonna be like last time. Sticking by what i've said before, if by 10 games we haven't improved, Farke needs to go. Edited September 11, 2021 by robertociNCFC Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Creedence Clearwater Couto 1,217 Posted September 11, 2021 Levels in quality, yet again. Farke needs to wake up fast and stop persisting with 4-3-3 and revert back to 4-2-3-1. We have the players for that formation. We've got to play tour strengths and go at teams. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BaltimoreBird 127 Posted September 11, 2021 Rashica should start every week. Cantwell and Tzolis have to earn the other start. Normann will come in and strengthen us at the back giving Gilmoue the ability to do what he does best. I like this team a lot and when we start playing teams who do not perennially compete for Europe we're going to win quite a few games. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Samwam27 517 Posted September 11, 2021 Arsenal awful along came Norwich Always find it strange how we give players a chance and they don't take it. Dowell Why don't we even give Normann 5/10 minutes. It's all invaluable game time Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ken Hairy 3,681 Posted September 11, 2021 Right, laters all.

Rashica, Tzolis, Sargent and Pukki have goals. Play all four and get on the front foot. But Farke won't do it. Too obsessed with trying to play cautiously at this level and contain.

Positives but another loss. Bring on Watford, need a result. I think the current argument is that Williams touched it. My view on that is it is the single most stupid rule change in recent history of football. If you kick it against a player, or a player chooses not to gamble on whether a player is offside and try to intercept it but touches it on, it's not offside. Now, with VAR, they should axe that, and go back to simplicity of "when the ball is played forward" again. Would make VAR a lot simpler. That can be the only reason IMHO.

cambridgeshire canary 6,513 Posted September 11, 2021 I could go on about how we have played well, played very well and I have no doubt we can win matches playing like that.

Capt. Pants 4,091 Posted September 11, 2021 Huge concerns about us scoring anywhere near enough goals. Disappointing about the offside but frankly we weren't as good 2nd half. May have deserved a point but little else. Absolute massive game against Watford now, lose that and it will be extremely difficult. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Positives but another loss. Bring on Watford, need a result. I doubt it will be over-analysed, everyone got what they wanted. Explain how Cantwell is offside but Aubeyemang isnt. Giy on my stream was questioning whether there was enough contact on Pukki for him to go down when Ben White hauled him over by the shirt. The big club bias is sickening.

Michael Starr 515 Posted September 11, 2021 (edited) For me, Rashica clearly has talent, but his first three crosses (including a corner) failed to beat the first man. Wasn't he brought in for crossing? I'm concerned for Pukki. Defences have the measure of him now. Edited September 11, 2021 by Michael Starr Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
