Feel sad for ESR and Nelson, I wanted them to be bonafide starters.

2
sh.itjust.works

Im thinking it might effect ESR's playing time, but maybe not Nelson as much since it doesn't look like Havertz will be on the wing.

I can see ESR also playing a decent amount in the wing as well not gonna lie. I think the amount of cover we have is great going into the season.

4

closest position we have to a second striker, which is where he's best imo

1

Arsenal kit did a number on this ref. Everyone is getting a yellow.

5

I can’t tell if the refereeing is too strict here or if the PL is too lenient but I’m liking the refereeing so far.

5

The abundance of substitutes is also a factor. Refs can hand out yellows more quickly.

5

Bit of both methinks, I like the refereeing but not for an exhibition, would like to see a bit more let through

Lol at the commentator saying “Jay-juice”

5

That half-time has "Party in the USA" stuck in my head now

tbh its Party in the CIA cuz Weird Al is lovely but yeet

Who cares about CL experience for Rice? Yknow who else doesn't have CL experience? Bukayo mf Saka

5

Yeah that was a weird thing to mention . He’s been playing in the PL, no farmers league.

lemmy.world

Rice and Timber connecting well. Our depth is going to be amazing next season. Just need a pure striker.

4

Would be fine if we keep Flo and off load him during the January transfer window if necessary

2

"Traditional" electric yellow lol either the commentator doesn't know or that's the perfect dig at the kit

4

My phone stream must be even farther behind haha, they're still on the sidelines for me

Nketiah has gotten stronger. He's nudging away these MLS players with ease.

4

It was funny to see Jesus and Ramsdale look out of place during the national anthem. Haha

Shoutout to HK metro for actually having a data connection unlike the NYC metro

That's one thing I'm thankful for if I go back there or head to Taiwan... Communication doesn't drop. Meanwhile if I'm stuck in between stations on the E or the F...forget it.

If you have T-mobile stateside the MLS pass is free for the year, so thankful the Germans subsidize a few of my streaming accounts lol

Dude it was plastered all over Tmobile Tuesday app!!! Lots of perks!!! This week it's a year of Vix which comes in handy for international matches that are only on Fox Soccer plus but also on the Spanish network

Idk how the app works lol, all I know about the app is that it doesn't let me pay for my phone plan on there cuz it's prepaid cuz no SSN

1

Tmobile Tuesday is a separate app, it just asks for your number to verify if you are a T-mobile customer

2

Gonna be no shitposting from me most of second half, gotta head out to do smth and imma be watching on my phone lol. Can't use lemmy at the same time without clicking out, so

3

Dang! I switched off my laptop stream cause it died on me. I got my charger now. I'll be back up.

Great match from Trossard also love the business as usual mentality from him.

In the US yes, but in Hong Kong no. Funnily it means that if I turn on my vpn for the US it shows up

3

Kai Havertz you better change my opinion here and now buddy, ok pal

3

Like the commentary said; the plan seems to be pass to Saka and inshallah lol

3

True, I want to him to do well but he didn't show me much last season so my expectations are low.

1

I still can't believe we have Trossard. Especially after his performances for Brighton in the first half of last season.

2
lemmy.world

Commentator can't pronounce half these names, great goal by Trossaaarr tho lol

2

Wouldn't be surprised if the MLS All Stars keep it close. They are in mid season form.

2

It is a terrible design. They're speculating it is going to sell out but, I doubt it.

2
lemmy.world

I'm normally one for something funky, but it really does look terrible.

2

Let’s go Gunners! Hopefully we’ll get to see a bit of Rice action

2
lemmy.world

Given the lineup I'm not surprised we are having issues in the midfield, but otherwise we look good overall, just a little rusty.

2
lemmy.world

Despite playing in the midfield he played very well. It gave me confidence in us using Kai or ESR in the old Xhaka role against weaker teams who will park the bus.

@Gingerrific
Agreed, time to step it up.

Trossard was an excellent signing after the Mudryk bullet was dodged.

It's still concerning how hard they were pursuing him..

2
lemmy.world

Mudryk is weird one. I never watched him in the CL for Shaktar, so my only opinion of him is in a Chelsea jersey, which over the years has been a nightmare for quite a few talented attacking players. I'm really torn cause I can't tell if he is bad or if everyone at Chelsea is just playing bad.

Don't get me wrong, he has his moments of brilliance and I can see why we would have pursued him, just not for anything over 30m.

1

agreed - I was swept up in the pursuit of him but in retrospect I'm glad we didn't end up with him.

I hope I still feel like that in 5 years. Or maybe we get him on clearance in 3 years.

2

Not crazy about this midfield three but I can’t really see a situation where this would be a Verizon of our midfield that Arteta goes with next season. Maybe late stage CL group matches if we have things wrapped up by then.

Why are you on Lemmy surely you've got tickets if you made the damn ad lol

1

no fucking way, shoulda asked them for some lol, at least get the club to sneak you into the bench or smth

1

I hope it's not the case. We need him as a sub for the wingers. Oh he's walking it off whew

1
lemmy.world

Do they really need to shrink my screen even more to interview soemone I can't listen to

2

Could be worse, my stream's just dead now. Granted there's tons of ocean on top of me but the rest of the Internet's working just fine

2
lemmy.world

If you thought the numbers on the Nürnberg game were bad, try watching this game with MiniPlayer on your phone while also walking to the metro

2

Can't fucking tell, I haven't even seen Tomiyasu once I feel like and idk if that's me being blind or the screen being too small

it's unpinned already, there's some issues with mirroring across instances with pinning and unpinning haha. Just repinned and unpinned it, so it should work on your instance now. The worst bit is its different problem posts on different instances from what I can tell...

2
lemmy.world

Subs already for Rooney huh; I guess they are a decent chunk behind

1

Can't find my Lightning connector headphones, I guess I'll have to go without commentary for the second half
