I wasn't nervous about the defending, but it looked like he went to play it back to Raya who had made a run out. Which could have been bad if it was more towards goal
This game is really reminding me how fucking good that Bayer Leverkusen side is rn. Like Bayern aren't quite at their normal levels yes but they're still a very good side.
There should be statistical analyses done on how it's possible for a foul to be called against us in the box pretty much every time we have a set piece
In retrospect, it makes perfect sense. Narrative says Arsenal are good at set pieces, so we just make it as hard as possible for them to score from set pieces. Brilliant.
I can't give you any sound statistical reasoning, I'm not that knowledgeable. But, from past occasions, I feel like he gives us fresh legs, he has an eye for goal and can make runs into the box/get into good positions.

Whew good from Gabriel to make up for tomi's slight mistake there.
How did the officials miss that touch by defender and goalkeeper. That was a clear corner.
I'm hearing away fans 🥹🥹🥹
SAKA JUST CHIP IT MAN
Overthinking what to do. He needs to give into that killer instincts.
tbf it would've been offside anyway but, the mental boost at least woulda been immense.
Fuck the ref
oh damn you can hear our guys in a fucking european stadium that's rare.
Our away fans are always the loudest
yeah but you still really shouldn't be hearing away fans in Europe lol that's an indictment on Bayern more than anything.
I think because this is their banter year #1...their fans are nervous af
Or that's praise for our boys. They kept Bayern out of it so much the fans weren't in it.
We are doing good again.
imma be honest that lino's been paid off
Look at that smoke
Its hard to see. Lol
For us, likely not as bad on the pitch
don't want half time rn ngl
Same. I'm afraid it'll be like Villa half time, loss of all momentum
It'll go past added time that way
I'm getting last season PTSD
Ngl kinda need us to win this game, I've got a lot of shit to get done today and it'll be easier if it starts off well 🤣
Let's hope we stay at the same level in the second half.
We did disrupt their rhythm a bit so I like to see more of that
idk why people seem to be nervous about that gabi defending lol, it was pretty clean from my perspective.
I wasn't nervous about the defending, but it looked like he went to play it back to Raya who had made a run out. Which could have been bad if it was more towards goal
Reminded me about the Saliba own goal thing a bit but I was like "nah this is Gabi he's passed it behind"
Definitely patience wins this one
This game is really reminding me how fucking good that Bayer Leverkusen side is rn. Like Bayern aren't quite at their normal levels yes but they're still a very good side.
I just love seeing Rice drive forward, pull a bunch of players then slide a diagonal ball so we can move forward.
The game is opening up. Maybe good for us.
Øde yelling there were 2 touches. Refs don't want to see either.
I think Trossard deserves to start, but whether it's tactics or teamp setup, he seems to do better coming off the bench going at a tired defence.
Trossard is much better off the bench.
HOLY WHEW
fuck
Well damn. At least it wasn't too embarrassing
Honestly, it's a good point
No corner?!
nah that was not offside wtf that's a penalty for the pulldown
Refs don't want us to win, easy as
Here comes Trossard
Potentially decisive pass? Overhit.
Looks like Kai was instructed to stay up front and not do any of that false nine stuff
Be really cool if we could capitalize on some of this pressure :(
Flashbacks to Villa
:( :( :( :( :(
Sorry, too soon? xD
Always too soon, especially if it has the effect we're worried about. But that's for a different day :D
need one in before HT
Awww Havertz if only that got back
it's always fun going to Europe and hearing a bunch of chants in another language that sound just like "huy huy huy" cuz you don't understand it
I think they were definitely chanting Havertz over and over again because of his role for the German national team
bit early cuz fuck it we ball
Surprised Bayern got the first yellow, ref has been blowing the whistle everytime we touch a Bayern player.
CL extra time reminds me of PL extra time of old
and now KdB has equalised. ffs lol
Makes their form in the league worse maybe?
Bayern are twats eh?
My thoughts exactly...
we should be more aware tho
Let's go Bayern!
Unclench for 15
I know it doesn't look good, but I didn't see us doing as well as we have in the CL this season, which is a pretty good positive.
I expected this to be a tough game.
I assumed this would be a blow out. I'm still kinda happy with this tbh.
Same
you really don't save those tbf, what a header
The commentators continually beat the drum of "Arsenal and set pieces", but I can't actually recall us scoring off of a set piece in the CL yet.
Our set piece goals have really slowed down.
teams caught up to us
I still dream of the one from Goodison Park.
Welp
Jorginho coming off is a surprise.
whoever it was that mentioned villa, this is your fault /j
Don't know what you're talking about... 👀
how's that gone bayern's way
I was wondering when the home bias was going to start showing
I don't know, but I feel like this ref deserves a job in the PL
Real Madrid score!
just now popping up on my stream, that's a pretty fun goal lol.
hala madrid
@Astrealix @ironeaglebird and City should have scored just now. off the post and far post miss
hala madrid!
We've got 10 minutes to do something here. Let's make it happen.
Tomi off for Eddie? Well, we either score 3, or concede three.
HOW IS THAT NOT A CORNER
Because refs are born without eyes, it's tragic really
Why in the world were we letting Sane get so deep?
cmon let Raya score it
This isn't great... if they don't get cards Odegaard is going to get pinballed around until he's forced off
Someone fix the record, it's skipping again
Dang over hit crosses are so disappointing. I always perk up and then deflate. Lol
There should be statistical analyses done on how it's possible for a foul to be called against us in the box pretty much every time we have a set piece
FOR FUCK'S SAKE ARE YOU KIDDING ME OF COURSE
if it were still 0-0 there would have been a minimum of 8
no there wouldn't, CL use the old rules
I'm just being sardonic, four minutes is still low under the old rules I would say
Been pretty bad at defending crosses today
Oy....
REF BEING IN THE WAY OF THE PASS WHAT THE FUCK
ARSENAL SPECIAL
Tomi is basically midfield
Tomi and Dec interchanging flank/pivot
Martinelli centre forward hive where you at
they literally just mentioned how he's only scored 1 in the last 10 games lol
I know in part it's cause of the system but he could still do better lol
Agreed, but it could also not be what Arteta wants him to do? I don't know... it's kinda sad though he's not as impactful as last season.
Well, each time a shit decision like that goes against us, we lose 2 minutes of the game. So it makes perfect sense why they'd do it like this.
Also looking forward to there being like 3 minutes of added on time, despite Bayern wasting about 10 in the past 15 minutes alone
even the fucking ball boys being cunts wtf
Eh, that I can't get too mad about. Not like ours don't do the same thing
Tomi works his butt off to get back
Tomiyasu has not been great today. Not that many fullbacks will be good against Sane tbf.
Kiwior struggled as well
Are there no rules as to which half of the pitch is watered in HT?
Apparently only our final third is being watered rn
That's some underhanded shit right there. 😒
I don't think there are specific rules behind the watering in general. I could be wrong?
And City just equalized. Of course.
It is City...
And we're Arsenal. We can beat Granit Xhaka's understudies, surely.
Why not just whistle for the foul before we even take the corner? Might as well. Fucking refs
Good attempt from Ødegaard that. Neuer should be saving that better though shouldn't he.
Red card to Declan for kicking the ball after the flag went up.
If you know you know
wearing my mccabe away kit today btw, wonder if it can transfer the energy from our win against Bristol City to this game XD
In retrospect, it makes perfect sense. Narrative says Arsenal are good at set pieces, so we just make it as hard as possible for them to score from set pieces. Brilliant.
Dang I think my stream is like a minute behind. So I will see all your groans or screams of Raya if we score. Lol
get a better stream XD
FOUR MINUTES ROFL
Where are their yellow cards?
Should have worn out Neon Zebra kit
I shouted for Benny to shoot, my bad
cut back or nothing
Let's hit them quick guys
Saka gets the ball
Saka beats his man
Love_to_see_it.jpeg
Didn't know Gabriel Jesus and Stina Blackstenius were related
spin masters
We'll be fine. Trossard is massively clutch.
I honestly don't love that we've been as reliant on him in the CL, but if anyone can pull something out of the hat it's him
I'm back! With a much more stable stream :)
Reffing in this game hasn't been that good in my opinion
Agreed especially that one linesman
It's been godawful, not just "not that good"
Very Attacking. Substituing on all the attackers. Arteta plays this like I do FM
OOOOOOOOOOOOOF
Just keeping letting them loop the ball over the box, no need to worry
WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK
jesus man
World's newest superhero!
Gabriel and Saliba look like they have improved from last week. We just needed a couple more people to do the same.
FUCK that would have been nice
Well fuck.
what a shot from Sane there, didn't know the Germans had a space program.
holy shit musiala
Fucken hell, lol
Kai looks a little frazzled tonight. Hope he can pull through it.
Cmon Bazza!
Are we actually doing this XD
As an Aussie, how can I not? :)
FUCKING FUCK
What a shot that was from Musiala.
Wtf Kai
Interesting sub
COYG!!!!
WHEW
it's weird watching us be the team sitting back and letting things happen more
Just feeling each other up lol
Jeez Decs
yellow for the arm yeah
I think I know who our MOTM will be xD
Omg what happened I can't watch/listen
Shot on goal hot the post. It wasn't as bad as the one's against Villa, but still a chance for Bayern
hit twice i think? at least that's what the commentary said
I must have missed that. I looked away and just caught it on the replay
I missed it even on the replay tbh, just heard them say it.
he might be staying on for these ratings yea xd
Another soft Foul for very little, to no reason...
Well we looked like we might score! What other choice did he have?
Dubai buff expired it's feeling like December now
that wasn't a good challenge lmfao
Ben White warra switch
Great save
If Wayne gets called Wazza, wouldn't Benjamin be called Bazza
As it should be
Benny Bazza, you heard it here first
Looking better again. Very much comes and gos in who's dominant in this game. Very tough opposition.
How is that a freekick, my god
I don't mind that one tbh, I mind the one that didn't got given when we tried to counter lol
how's that a goal kick?
When was the last time we won an aerial duel in the final third? Seems just yesterday everyone was excited about Havertz' and Jesus' jumping abilities
I sure hope that was just Tomi showing off...
Well, we're donutting now. I'm starting to get a really bad feeling.
Trossard second half?
Probably around 65?min
hola
Oooh a booking
Same old Arsenal. We take 5 years to progress 5 meters up the pitch, and as soon as Bayern get it they're in our box. Fucking pathetic.
Who do you put in if Øde needs to be subbed off now?
Vieira, methinks.
Same, I don't think we really have anybody else who is a closer replacement
he's running better now?
He came off early against Villa because of an apparent knock. I wonder if he's still playing with it.
Or maybe he was tired and they used that as the official reason
Leggo!!
Why are we passing it so SLOWLY?!
I can't think of any possible subs.
If you say Tross I wanna know why
I can't give you any sound statistical reasoning, I'm not that knowledgeable. But, from past occasions, I feel like he gives us fresh legs, he has an eye for goal and can make runs into the box/get into good positions.
Assanal failed to build up through the press and are now letting Bayern have the ball
