Decent first half until Ayling goes to ground and gives away a soft penalty.
Harrison in no mans land to let White score and Ayling again half asleep for their other goal.
Plenty of endeavour from Ayling but he`s not really PL quality.
Harrison the game just passes him by and as for Bamford it`s a waste of a jersey.
Someone like Perkins would be a better choice.
Thought Gyabi might have got a run today ahead of the next 2 games.
Second half we looked Championship standard against Arsenal who played in second gear.
Must get 6 from our next 2 or we go down imo.

Bamford getting stick for a 10min cameo? Strange

didn't play badly at all, especially first half. stupid penalty changed the game but arsenal were simply to good. Next 6 games are crucial, all winnable. 12 points and nearly safe. the manager has been excellent. tactically top notch

Agree Tad. Not bad at all today considering injuries. Nothing more to see and move on.

2 huge games at home coming up with Forrest and Palace. Really could do with Gnonto and Wober fit for both. Leicester and Wolves now well in the relegation battle. Bournemouth keep pulling rabbits out of the hat. 6 points from next two would be huge

As you say the next 6 in April are vital, our last 4 in May look really tough.

Games coming thick and fast with lots of teams in bottom 8 playing each other, things will change very quickly for good or bad this month. A few wins are vital.

No mate, Bamford getting stick for 3 years of either being injured or shoite.
His 10 minutes cameo yesterday resulted in him making 3 fouls, getting booked, moaning at the ref and losing the ball near the penalty area.
It`s always a give away when players start blaming the ref or their team mates.
They tend to be the players who are frustrated mainly due to their own performance and or the loss of skills they once had.

I think gracia has already made his mind up about thd lives of bamford and cooper. he stays next season, and I hope he does, they are gone

Re: The ONLY LUFC Football Thread : Sun Apr 02, 2023 5:14 pm  

I couldn’t understand the logic of bringing on players like Rodrigo when we were losing and risking injury. I like what Garcia has done so far but that seemed unnecessary

Re: The ONLY LUFC Football Thread : Sun Apr 02, 2023 5:23 pm  

perhaps he wanted some more match action? training only gives you so much fitness.
I'll wager he starts on Tuesday

Re: The ONLY LUFC Football Thread : Sun Apr 02, 2023 7:21 pm  

I would like to see Rodrigo and Rutter start but not sure that will happen.
We might need to be a bit cautious as Forrest are decent on the break.
I will also be praying Wober is fit to start.

Potter and Brenden Rodgers now available

Wouldn`t mind either at Leeds but actually quite like Gracia.
If he keeps us up he should get the gig imo.
