    You’d win because as I just said we defend in a 442 and will have significantly less of the ball than these. We have and in and out of possession shape. 41 games in and we’re still arguing this

    Id take that as a playoff opponent. Much prefer them rather than Boro or Cov

    So why he is the one defending in a 4-4-2 when Rigg has played that position most of the season and Browne has played the vast majority of his career as a CM

    Not hard to see why these are finishing mid table mind.

    We still in the dressing room and they pissing about.

    Probably agree. Loads of twists and turns to come with the play off places, think it’s going down to the wire

    there must be logic even if we can’t see it. RLB hasn’t done it for fun.

    Because Rigg naturally is this position but doesn’t get there over Jobe

    6 and 2 3s of who plays there.

    just trying to pick problems in something that isn’t there

    He has done it before with Browne and then Samed. It's never worked. I just don't see the logic at all

    my only thought is he wants to give Rigg minutes in the middle. I trust Reggie

    Very frustrated with our defensive work here. Norwich picking the ball up in between lines far too easily

    Not at all. I get the shape thing but no one will convince me that Alan Browne should be the second striker in a defensive shape.

    This is controversial but I’ve turned off and put the Arsenal - Real game on. I’m really not that bothered about this match. And the commentators wind me up

    Can we parachute Jobe in? If anyone needed an example of why he's our best and most important player then this is exactly that.
