If we were playing like Arsenal you wouldn't be saying the same. It's very much how we used to suffocate teams under Poch.

I would acknowledge it, yeah.

You know its possible that Arsenal have suffocated them well and Brentford have had an under performance as well.

Its not just one or the other, necessarily.

If ever there is a game to prove the mentality has changed it's gonna be at their place on the 1st.

We Haven’t controlled a game like this so far this season.

might have to start taking them seriously.
How many of the best possession teams in the world ever play/ed 3-4-3?

It's also really hard to constantly press high in our formation. You see it for the first 10-15 mins and then the distances between our wing backs and the opposing full backs just get greater as the game goes on.

People just need to accept that we will not have matches on a consistent basis like City and Arsenal.

Seems like every loose ball/clearance fall to an Arse player, which is almost the exact opposite of us for the first 60 mins yesterday.
And they also have a knack of falling over when challenged.

Think we’ll both comfortably finish in the top 4.

Not sure what order though.

I am chill, just saying they are playing terrific football. If this was Spurs playing like this people would be gushing over it.

You just seem obsessed with pointing out everything positive they do and everything negative we do.

I agree they are playing well, but how about a bit of balance without being so dramatic

Obviously depends on injuries and how deep both sides go in Europe but I think it’s fair to say Chelsea and United are currently the worst teams in the top 6.

Too early to say. ETH, and Potter are too early into their reigns to say how it will pan out.

We just need to keep doing what we are doing.

Would love us to go 3-5-2 against them.

And I'd play Sess and Royal at wingback for their stamina to get up and down.

Arteta has been their manager for almost 3 years and spent almost £350m. They should be playing better than us currently. Let's see how well we'll be playing in another 2 years with another £200m spent.

Least Conte has a few weeks to get the approach right. I know will play to frustrate them at the emirates. Going to be a very close game though, but this is when Conte is at his best.

They're better passers than us and better creatively but we are more clinical... If we create through our counter attack, we will beat them.

I would like our three in the middle against them but think we can do with kulu at RWB as they're not overly pacey on their left. But think we will stick with a two.
