Our passing at the back is a bit haphazad. Not up to quality against this lot. Would rather see more hoof.

Bakwa looks a top class striker of a dead ball... would love him to come.

Problem with hoofing is that Gnonto and James aren't blessed in the height department. Problem with playing out from the back is that we are really not good enough to deal with Arsenal's press.

Can't head it if Daniel James hits the first man though

Don't doubt he could curl one in himself from the spot.

Very poor planning on my part .... may have to "risk" a Sainsbury's run at HT. It's 2 miles away

If Ødegaard is that injured he should get off the pitch

Gudmundsson took some good corners in the last few games. We need height in the box for spot kicks. Pascal showed that a few minutes ago. Aside from him we are lacking in there.

Odegaard down and they're warming up players

Would help himself if he stops diving onto his shoulder
