Arsenal often struggle to score if you sit deep
Maybe that's why we were so deep after 0-2. The problems was the midfield infront of the back 4 were not there and they just tore into us. Changed the game

4-4-2 away to them? what a total joke of a formation to pick.
I don't know why Harry's getting any real blame tbh. He picked a ballsy team which saw us go 2 up despite Arsenal being on top for the most part, they get back to 2-2. Then he brings on Sandro and VDV in the hope of making us more solid and we got trounced, I don't think it would've been much different had we kept the same team. I'd've brought Lennon on but perhaps he wasn't really fit enough to play.
They scored more goals then we did.
How did it pan out at 451

Harry redknapp's team selection, and substitutions.
That's gonads. The second half was a joke, regardless of formation. The players never showed up.
We should match them in the middle of the park. Always. If we were going to play as we did then Ade and Saha would have had to work very hard to get back
We played perfectly in the first 30 minutes. We hit them on the break and looked dangerous, defended well and they were poor. Then we just fell to pieces as soon as they got the first goal.
Did Szcezney have to make any saves in the second half?
Talk of us winning the title is absurd at the moment I'm afraid, we don't have the squad or the bottle right now.
We capitulated in the first half with the same 4 4 2 formation.
So 442 was to blame even though we went 2 up, but the formation had NOTHING to do with conceding 3 and not touching the ball?

no we fudging never, we were out played from the kick off and were lucky to be in front - let alone 2-0 up !
Completely. I said in the other thread, we could hurt them with a 4-4-2 but wont control the game at any point. Momentum is a big thing. Second half was adrenaline and fear from two sets of players. Formations made little difference.

But we scored, and looked like scoring. Im not blaming 451, but to stick this on the fact we started with 442 is massively clutching at straws
Lucky?
