    Never count out a team with Stan Collymore. Ten men behind the ball, give it Stan on halfway, smash and grab. Works every time.

    McAtee gets pushed forward, Sangare gets a game thus resolving our midfield issue.

    I've gone for 0-2 on the Sky Super6 thing. I think we can keep them to 2.
    Same score for favourable VAR decisions.

    Bottom 3 seems likely after tomorrow, be interesting to see how the Glasner is here for three years line holds up over the next few weeks.

    SSC: W1 D0 L3 (ave 0.75 ppg)
    Sean Dyche: W2 D5 L14 (ave 0.62 ppg)
    NES: W3 D3 L6 (ave 1 ppg)

    Glasner: W0 D1 L5 (ave 0.17 ppg)

    I left Pereira out because he has only faced Arsenal once as a manager (he lost).

    Only 1 home defeat in the last 6 to the Arse.
    How is the Lichaj FA Cup game over 8 years ago?

    I meant PL managers not Forest managers. Arsenal won the league as very few teams beat them (and very few will again).

    Besides, what point are you even trying to make? That if we don't beat Arsenal Glasner is a crap manager?

    Glasner is a crap manager, at least for us, right now, regardless of the result tomorrow.

    If we are in the bottom 3 after 7 games of Glasner it perhaps doesn't make him a shit manager, but maybe a shit appointment for us given the squad we had and the formation he plays.

    Having finished last season with some goals and wins I rather hoped that appointing an 'elite' manager and arming him with a 120 million war chest and a whole pre-season would make us (even) less shit. Then we started the season with 1 new signing on the pitch - a free transfer. The expensive defender has got into the side through injury. The expensive striker has scored a goal but missed badly last weekend. The wing back has done ok, but was at fault for Coventry's goal, losing a simple 1 on 1.
    I've acknowledged all the patience / Glasner's system takes time to bed in type comments, but we've won 1 game with a late goal v 10 men and haven't scored at home in 4 games. Yes, there was a lot of decent attacking football first half v Palace, but how often will a team defend that badly against us (and create our goal for us?).
    I'm not ruling out that it can get better, but I'm not in a wildly optimistic place at the moment and I'm struggling to see how exactly it gets better.

    Pretty much could have written that myself. Still unconvinced by the Glasner as an elite manager thing. He was bang average with Palace just won the FA Cup which is luck rather than elite isn't it?

    Conference League? Any Prem team and half the Championship should be having a run to the final in that.

    What is it that will get better with time?

    I can see us getting slightly better at knowing where to stand (particularly without the ball) but not enough to offset the whole running and kicking deficiency aspects.
