Annoying that managers in the main insist on waiting in to the second half to make changes when things clearly are not working - must be football manager 101 - thou must not make changes at half time.

Not suggesting he’s not a good player, just not suited to this type of game

Unless Farke has asked them to set up differently and test for 10 mins
That was sort of my thought too. It also sends the wrong message sending out a team straight after half time with 3 changes in it.
But he must change things up soon.

Question marks on him grow
He's what you bring on for the last 20 mins, to run at pace. Big worry that Farke sees him as the chief creator in the PL, because he's out of his depth.

We win the ball & then concede it cheaply as we often did in the first quarter, then just when we required a bit of composure to take in the game 1-0 at half-time, Gruev continues the trend.

Feeble defending at the corner for their first goal.

Is Perri, Meslier in disguise?
Now, now :lol: He definitely hasn't bedded in well, but name calling?

And as I wrote this they scored a third. Damn.

As I said.. long second half ahead.
I hope Arsenal feel they've done enough and ease off or it could get embarrassing

Perri does appear quite slow to react to things

Farke never made changes in the Championship, so why do people think he'll suddenly change now? Either drop the sentiment or 49ers will want him gone come October.
