That’s just a joke. Santos passes to a man with 3 Arsenal players immediately around him. Brainless or what?

well their 3rd will be going on the clangers thread. gift that keeps on giving. x.com/tekkersfoot/status/1839030677054144639x.com/tekkersfoot/status/1839031493865193871nicely taken goal by Collins. a Kevin van veen style finish. check out the recently revived Scunny match thread if you don't get that reference. i even said on there, Collins was the only player i felt we have who could do similar type class finishes. bit of style, bit of composure, bit of skill etc. i was trying to think back to the one he had last season which i really liked. turns out it was against his old team. bristol rovers away.... keeper comes out and he just cleverly lifts it over him as he dives at his feet.

A few more Santos errors and inabilities. If I was Forini I'd be hopping mad being dropped in it for No 3. He did though make a hash of it.
At least Collins scored. Just a huge gulf in class, calibre and character. This was not 1994 when we matched them in character. That was never on tonight's cards.
I hope Forini isn't injured. We really need alternatives in defence.
I see Liverpool are 5-1 v W Ham so we are not alone

We were just completely outclassed, Arsenal never even got out of second gear but to be fair they’d have put better teams than us to the sword so no damage done and hopefully no injuries. Despite that more glaring unforced errors at the back, our defence just looks full of mistakes. Obviously when you’re up against the likes of Saka and Sterling you expect problems but most of ours were self inflicted. So on to Crawley now and since we won’t face anything like the task we did tonight I think the players should be approaching it with confidence but we still need big improvements ist the back if we’re going to prosper.

I'm not a bit impressed with this Forino. Just shows how much we miss Gethin. Come to think of it, what kind of striker is McAtee meant to be? HE's emerging just as a nuisance player. So many defensive mistakes tonight, and a failure to press properly , giving a good Arsenal acres of space in midfield. We were never at the races, even if the ref had given that early penalty to Sheehan.

We really need alternatives in defence. I see Liverpool are 5-1 v W Ham so we are not alone important to remember in 1994, it was a FULL STRENGTH Arsenal team. www.11v11.com/matches/arsenal-v-bolton-wanderers-09-february-1994-216868/all the famous back 4, plus a top keeper in Seaman. standard m/f incl Merson , and strong 3 up top Kev Campbell , Alan Smith & Ian Wright. character in spades like you say. to get one past wall-like "defence and keeper", was good, to get 3 & on their own patch. staggering. probably the best result/performance in the last 50 years . Liverpool 2-0 away in '92 was special. 2 swashbuckling goals with amazingly good deep crosses... but a few rested by Liv...Mike Marsh normally a m/f , playing right back and getting murdered by David Lee.. dodgy Hooper in goal. and some real dodgy centre backs. as brilliant as the Walker goal is, defender to leave him in that much space ( a postcode to himself!) is even a crime Santos would struggle to commit so badly.

Just watched the highlights....oh dear! Their third goal is Charlton and Huddersfield all over again. The others were all avoidable as well with perhaps the exception of the second.
