@Astrealix I am just thrilled that the first Arsenal game I've been able to watch this season is in the lovely 3rd kit and not the eyebleed yellow pukefest
Not that I disagree with your point. However, whether it's Eddie, Trossard or Nelson one of them needs to step up and put a shift in in games we are ahead so that we can rest Saka at the end of games.
Probably would need quite a bit of pace to do so. Then again sorta what Zinny did last season at times. Hard to really define positions in our system ngl
Lamela, once a Shit, always a Shit
That turn by Jesus.
ABSOLUTELY FILTHY NEVER SEEN ANYTHING LIKE IT
Literally split the defense in half.
Pure Brazilian DNA
Chaos merchant Gabby Jesus
Blessed by Cruyff hinself
All hail Jesus
Declan rice mwah
GABRIEL JESUS WHAT A PASS
We're lucky that was a bad angle
This fucking ref.
Ain't no way that was a foul on Saliba.
Super Tomi
GABRIEL JESUS MY WORD
what a turn!!
Kiwior on could be good as well, go to a back 5
On the other hand another goal would be so much more comfortable
Kai on the touchline
Yes Gabi!!!! Yes!!!
Me no like when Arsenal duck and cover
@SoupACabra @Astrealix love tomi and rice though
Who decided that a white kit with black socks vs white socks was a good idea btw lol
@Astrealix I am just thrilled that the first Arsenal game I've been able to watch this season is in the lovely 3rd kit and not the eyebleed yellow pukefest
Jesus in the UCL, special
Ref, that's a yellow for constantly fouling Saka, and another for intimidating the linesman.
Wtf man
Is the latter in UEFA rules or just PL?
Not sure tbo but to me it's a basic rule that should be applied across every league/competition, if it's not already.
Yes it should. I learnt recently they actually have sin bins in the lower (regionalised) leagues in England for it nowadays, which is pretty good too.
I'm glad something (or anything for that matter) is being done.
HOW THE FUCK DOES HE DO IT
I regret ever saying he should be benched, holy shit
Reiss my man I cry for you
What does man gotta do?
Eddie 💀
That was beautiful. Unlucky not to score there
I was wrong. He did deserve the start lol.
That was close again
@MHPengwingz @Astrealix no more Raya!!
I get sticking with the plan but Raya doesn't have that confidence yet
@MHPengwingz @WorldcupCSR I am beginning to wonder whether Ramsdale killed Arteta's pets
Win is still well....I believe.
Declan Rice.
Declan Rice.
Sigh. This is kind of hard to watch.
nothing is easy
Easy is not the Way.
@MHPengwingz @raumdeuter we’re doing F all in the attacking half
I think it's time for subs isn't it?
Definately is. Saka for someone. Give the kid a rest.
Problem is Saka can play shit for 80 mins but have a strong 5 mins in each half. Until we have another dangerous option that does what he does ...
Not that I disagree with your point. However, whether it's Eddie, Trossard or Nelson one of them needs to step up and put a shift in in games we are ahead so that we can rest Saka at the end of games.
agree - but some have suggested the drop off has more to do with the midfield not being as coherent and together as last season.
WHAT A SHOT
RICE RICE BABY
He is worth every fucking shilling
Man English fans drunk cheering got nothing on the rest of Europe
Yeah Acuna is argentine alright
That head holding is a common trait
Oooh Trossard 👀
We're waiting far too long to cross/cut back... Saka ran forward until there were no options left
Our ability to press well while also being able to play through theirs is giving me a lot of confidence.
As is tradition we need to be better in the opposition third, but so far I'm liking what I see.
Eddie is quite good at forcing it into the corner
Simulation yellow eh
Former spurs twat
Based ref
The way we're preferring Martinelli at RW over Nelson .. :(
UCL fixtures make me nervous
Who's got the Bella Ciao chant?
@Astrealix money heist!
Their fans are quite loud, good shit. Tired of only hearing our chants even away ngl, this is better for the atmosphere
I kinda wished we wore our ugly neon uniforms to distract them lol
Raya not doing himself any favours with his bad passes.
If Mikel is true to his word (I doubt), this experiment needs to end. At least it was just a lease.
Ramsdale deserved either the league or the cups.
The whole thing confuses me and I just want some clarity.
I think us and Ramsdale deserve some clarity
Arteta would rather sink with Raya than swim with Ramsdale.
Fuck me must Spanish players be that dramatic
Same story as the rest of the matches we've played - composed backline and barely any chances created
Ronnie Ramsdale inhales
Hey at least the camera folks are behaving this time
Effing A that ref is getting in the way too much
GK sub pls?
Nvm he does actually get to it fair enough, didn't look like it on first watch.
Holy shit Jesus, that was world class! Amazing composure by Martinelli too!
Reminded me of that Aston Villa goal a bit...
Second half let's go!!! We need to kill off this match.
Jorgi intercepted pass starts off the counter, he obviously doesn't have the feet to make amends
Saliba tall dude good
Red for me tbh.
Real high boot in close proximity, very dangerous that
GET THE FUCK IN
Trossard holy dribble
AUGH
Finally a card
That camera needs its lens wiped off lol
This is going to be a long 10 minutes
🙂
Odegaard has not been himself lately, good call to sub him out
Sub time Marteta
Arsenal corner or male nipples, which are more useless?
Arsenal women's corner :P
Acuna card when
God that looks worse on replay.
Ffs Harry Maguire whyyyy
Damn it how the hell did we ever convince Declan Rice to join our
cultteam? Truly blessed.@MHPengwingz @Astrealix
Because we are the ARSENAL
Should be a pen
Raya standing as still as Manu Zinsberger
If Ramsdale was dropped purely for performance, the reasons for keeping Raya in are dwindling...
Ehhh idt you can really blame him for that goal, just always annoying when goalkeepers don't even try to get on it
Not that he could save it but like with Manu ffs at least try
Team is getting a bit complacent. They need to focus up.
Ok now they're just trying it for the bants
Cards are off the menu, boys
nononononononononono
He's fine
I'm just scared
He's walking at least, but oh boy
Feels like we've given up trying for the 3rd goal
Yeah Kiwi is coming on, we're defending with our lives now
this pitch is ass
It is pouring raining so ass is a given
Swear this team gives me palpitations...wtf was that?
Did not even notice that was a missed punch, raya you wot???
Coulda used Ødegaard on that play ngl
Interesting corner routine that
Now's not the time for the Ted Lasso specials
Probably woulda been quite good if Martinelli actually got that ball
We regressed on set pieces
Need Havertz on for them, can't have them scoring from another
Just Arsenal things
Kopenhagen rn have both more xG and more shots than Man U btw
Oof we need more of that.
Not gonna comment on it. Backing our boys. Least it wasn't a goal.
Is an inverted fullback always a part of a double pivot or can one also function as an LCM/RCM?
Probably would need quite a bit of pace to do so. Then again sorta what Zinny did last season at times. Hard to really define positions in our system ngl
Cap's having a stinker
He's been very quiet this season
Just been kinda dull tbh
I need to say this more often
Like we are defending quite decently but besides that? When we do get chances they're decent but that's not often enough
What the fuck was that challenge on Saka
Like, poor first touch, but ffs man
Needs to be scoring that. Harder than it looks tbf but cmon
Decent way to start
Ref. Seriously.
Ø just gave the ball away or the millionth time
Oh good, time for Holdini to secure the w-
Do I even need to set up a poll for MOTM???
Bruh ref.
Hhhhhhhhhh
Unlucky from Ødegaard but what were our wingers doing, just score from it yourself lol
Ahhh good save.
That looked kinda dangerous from Ramos ngl
Decent shot there.
Mikel forgot Kiwa was actually signed in January
Eh, probably just doesn't want to give up on the attack just yet.
WHAT A SAVE
On second thought, I feel like he made his decision far too late, he practically could have headed it away if he'd wanted to
Yknow what I kinda wish that went in, woulda been a sweet goal
Good from Raya that.
Whewwwww
Surprised Jorginho stays on tbh
Brazil imma be real start this man at striker
PSV ahead is what we want as well :)
Time to test PoorlyDrawnArsenal's theory about dyeing hair
who this time?
Nah just that White's still got his hair dyed and Trossard ain't on so...
Ah yes I see the tried and tested strategy of "just murder Saka" once again
Someone's girlfriend is in the stands
@SoupACabra @Astrealix lamela gonna score a Rabona isn’t he?
Jorginho's been quietly improving this second half tbh
Except for that moment but Jorgi is serviceable for Europe.
Saka subbed off at HT hopefully
Nah lmfao we need to actually win this game first
Trossard in for his second half specials?
Why does the ref even need a whistle, just keeps it in his pocket
Ødegaard was annoyed bout that one
Jeebus Micah chill out lol
Havertz is passing backwards again...
I mean, we're tryna close this game out, keeping possession I think is the right play lol
Love my man Charles Watts but he's got the predicted XI totally wrong again.
