LLotrOrc lemmy.world1Hide 1 replyHavertz hasn't been bad but he has offered nothing either. Every time the ball goes to him it's a poor touch or a lazy pass and he slows us down3Reply

Astrealix replylemmy.worldIt is Eddie, I just assumed based on it being on the RW lol still WOOO HALE END2Reply
Astrealix replylemmy.world1Hide 1 replyESR's first start in ages, probably can't play the full game. Nelson might not be too great either cuz of the relative lack of preseason. Also probably tactical given that we have 2 midfielders on for a midfielder and a winger.2Reply

ccoygsu lemmy.worldSagoe Jr played well, a lot of potential, quick feet and good decision making.2Reply

ccoygsu lemmy.world4Hide 4 repliesThis is the ESR that Arteta doesn't think can break into the starting lineup? He's looked so far bar the corners he took.1Reply

Astrealix lemmy.worldDon't think we've done a 4-4-2 diamond in forever? With this squad, at least.1Reply

Imagine telling someone that Elneny and Cedric would play together in 2023
One thing I've noticed is Havertz keeps having someone in his exact location when he gets the ball. Wonder why.
@Astrealix agreed. Of any player in all the games he’s the most likely to run into one of his teammates
One of those things that will go away the longer he's here, I reckon.
@Astrealix hope so!
Oh, thank god, Cedric is on.
Said it before and I'll say it again - always happy when this dude has to earn his bread for the week
It ain't Holdini but it'll do
Bit worried about zinchenko coming on... he s great on the ball but he switches off defensively and that could hurt us in this match
prophetic
Lol took two seconds
actually hate this kit :P
I'd wager 8/10 fans dislike this jersey.
What an block from Jakub Kiwior
Makes a goal-line clearance with his ass... there's a twerk joke to be made here somewhere
🤣
Zinny has not been great today.
Very casual play
Liking how Kai has defended so far
Starting to feel a little terrified ngl
We haven't had a spell of attacking play for a while now.
Only ones are the one that Kai made and that shot from Eddie also from the left.
Havertz hasn't been bad but he has offered nothing either. Every time the ball goes to him it's a poor touch or a lazy pass and he slows us down
@LotrOrc @Astrealix sums up his arsenal career so far
Brentford attackers has missed some great chances
It's what separates midtable from Europe tbh.
Sagoe Jr has QUICK feet
Beautiful move from ESR, vintage stuff
NELSON :D Also Sagoe Jr does well there
or is that eddie, i can't see the number and I don't recognise sagoe jr lol
That was sweet by esr shame didn't have a better end product
It is Eddie, I just assumed based on it being on the RW lol
still WOOO HALE END
What was Kai even doing? Lazy shot
Groan, plead kai just finish one
Or at least place it on target and force a difficult save
If I speak, I am in big trouble
Needed a full 90 from Nelson and ESR
ESR's first start in ages, probably can't play the full game. Nelson might not be too great either cuz of the relative lack of preseason. Also probably tactical given that we have 2 midfielders on for a midfielder and a winger.
I understand. It just seemed like they had more left in their tank.
No VAR mate why you playing after the whistle and complaining
Kiwior, wow
Would have been another for the El Neny long-range bangers comp
We needed that on target, son.
Kai Havertz did quite good there, Nelson needs to slot that in though
A bit desperate at this moment, we are.
Ramsdale, what a save
What a save.
We're just going to try and hold on now aren't we, this is not going to be fun.
Looks like it. Jesus is on. He can score.
Who were they doing the Cazorla chant for?
Gabriel did really well there
Ramsdale isn't giving that spot up without a fight
Kiwi has been pretty decent this match
Elneny so closeeeeee
Cedric? They said you was dead.
His death was greatly exaggerated.
Sagoe Jr played well, a lot of potential, quick feet and good decision making.
Thought that was a 9 on the scoreboard for a second, terrified me lol
KING OF 🇪🇬
Ramsdale should just toss it towards their net lol
Kai's brightest moment of the match. Nelson should have scored.
Cedric coming on 🤔
What's the formation now I wonder lol
Guessing a 5-3-2 with Havertz up top and Tomi as CB?
yeah that's what it looks like
WHERE ARE THE DEFENCE????
MY KEEPER
ELNENY IS BACKKKKKKK BANGER INCOMING
4-4-2?? I'm not sure how we're lining up lol, no wingers
FOR FUCK'S SAKE WHOSE IDEA WAS THAT
Ramsdale MOTM
Gabriel for me, but Ramsdale did a lot.
He's retaining his value. If he ever transfers out, Arsenal should get a decent sum.
man's gonna push for that spot back, he's not fucking leaving
Arteta clearly favors Raya but we won't know for certain he will leave until the summer transfer window.
Good feet to retain the ball by Sagoe
Elneny vs Barcelona flashbacks
Nelson deserves to start with Jesus up the middle.
80 minutes for ESR and Nelson
Ramsdale has gotta do better.
Having to leave class so I gotta stop watching for a bit :P
This is the ESR that Arteta doesn't think can break into the starting lineup? He's looked so far bar the corners he took.
@coygsu @Astrealix wait has he been good?
He's played quite well today. Almost scored.
@coygsu great to hear. Not watching so good to hear!
Arteta has been pretty full of praise for him tbf recently, but he's been out for a good while and needs to prove his way back into the team
Did I make it in time for the end ? How did we play?
Aston Villa 4-2 moment for Havertz?
Carlos Cuesta looks terrified
Good by Ramsdale there to come out and clear it, albeit worrying XD
Don't think we've done a 4-4-2 diamond in forever? With this squad, at least.
just THROW the ball in
Charles is on the right, interesting that he's ahead of ACD if that's the case
Not a good couple of sequences there for Nketiah
how's that not a foul on nketiah??
