SAKA JUST CHIP IT MAN

ironeaglebird@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 2y (1 reply)

Overthinking what to do. He needs to give into that killer instincts.

Astrealix@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 2y

tbf it would've been offside anyway but, the mental boost at least woulda been immense.

Astrealix@lemmy.world · 6 pts · 2y (4 replies)

oh damn you can hear our guys in a fucking european stadium that's rare.

MHPengwingz@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 2y (3 replies)

Our away fans are always the loudest

Astrealix@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 2y (2 replies)

yeah but you still really shouldn't be hearing away fans in Europe lol that's an indictment on Bayern more than anything.

forgrytaboutit@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 2y

Or that's praise for our boys. They kept Bayern out of it so much the fans weren't in it.

MHPengwingz@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 2y

I think because this is their banter year #1...their fans are nervous af

bootinelli@lemmyis.fun · 6 pts · 2y

I'm hearing away fans 🥹🥹🥹

MHPengwingz@lemmy.world · 6 pts · 2y

Fuck the ref

Astrealix@lemmy.world · 6 pts · 2y

Whew good from Gabriel to make up for tomi's slight mistake there.

gunnerfra@lemmy.world · 6 pts · 2y

How did the officials miss that touch by defender and goalkeeper. That was a clear corner.

Astrealix@lemmy.world · 5 pts · 2y

We are doing good again.

Astrealix@lemmy.world · 5 pts · 2y

imma be honest that lino's been paid off

raumdeuter@mastodon.social · 5 pts · 2y

raumdeuter@mastodon.social · 3 pts · 2y

Honestly, it's a good point

Look at that smoke

ironeaglebird@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 2y (1 reply)

Its hard to see. Lol

MHPengwingz@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 2y

For us, likely not as bad on the pitch

Astrealix@lemmy.world · 5 pts · 2y (2 replies)

don't want half time rn ngl

sensiblepuffin@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 2y

Same. I'm afraid it'll be like Villa half time, loss of all momentum

bootinelli@lemmyis.fun · 1 pts · 2y

It'll go past added time that way

nuggsy@lemmy.world · 5 pts · 2y (1 reply)

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.

Astrealix@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 2y

Trossard is much better off the bench.

hangonasecond@lemmy.world · 5 pts · 2y

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 🤣

Astrealix@lemmy.world · 5 pts · 2y (2 replies)

idk why people seem to be nervous about that gabi defending lol, it was pretty clean from my perspective.

nuggsy@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 2y (1 reply)

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

Astrealix@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 2y

Reminded me about the Saliba own goal thing a bit but I was like "nah this is Gabi he's passed it behind"

ironeaglebird@lemmy.world · 5 pts · 2y

No corner?!

MHPengwingz@lemmy.world · 5 pts · 2y

Definitely patience wins this one

forgrytaboutit@lemmy.world · 5 pts · 2y

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.

Astrealix@lemmy.world · 5 pts · 2y

fuck

forgrytaboutit@lemmy.world · 5 pts · 2y (1 reply)

Let's hope we stay at the same level in the second half.

MHPengwingz@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 2y

We did disrupt their rhythm a bit so I like to see more of that

Astrealix@lemmy.world · 5 pts · 2y

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.

forgrytaboutit@lemmy.world · 5 pts · 2y

Øde yelling there were 2 touches. Refs don't want to see either.

nuggsy@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 2y

CL extra time reminds me of PL extra time of old

raumdeuter@mastodon.social · 4 pts · 2y

Welp

Astrealix@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 2y

Jorginho coming off is a surprise.

Astrealix@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 2y (1 reply)

HOW IS THAT NOT A CORNER

sensiblepuffin@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 2y

Because refs are born without eyes, it's tragic really

sensiblepuffin@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 2y

We've got 10 minutes to do something here. Let's make it happen.

Astrealix@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 2y (1 reply)

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

nuggsy@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 2y

I think they were definitely chanting Havertz over and over again because of his role for the German national team

Astrealix@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 2y (3 replies)

Bayern are twats eh?

nuggsy@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 2y

My thoughts exactly...

DontMakeMoreBabies@kbin.social · 1 pts · 2y

Let's go Bayern!

raumdeuter@mastodon.social · 1 pts · 2y

we should be more aware tho

bootinelli@lemmyis.fun · 4 pts · 2y

Looks like Kai was instructed to stay up front and not do any of that false nine stuff

Astrealix@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 2y (1 reply)

whoever it was that mentioned villa, this is your fault /j

nuggsy@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 2y

Don't know what you're talking about... 👀

Astrealix@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 2y (1 reply)

nah that was not offside wtf that's a penalty for the pulldown

sensiblepuffin@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 2y

Refs don't want us to win, easy as

ironeaglebird@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 2y

Here comes Trossard

Astrealix@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 2y

you really don't save those tbf, what a header

SpottieOttie13@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 2y

Surprised Bayern got the first yellow, ref has been blowing the whistle everytime we touch a Bayern player.

Astrealix@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 2y

Awww Havertz if only that got back

nuggsy@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 2y (2 replies)

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.

Astrealix@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 2y (1 reply)

I assumed this would be a blow out. I'm still kinda happy with this tbh.

nuggsy@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 2y

Same

sensiblepuffin@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 2y (3 replies)

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.

ironeaglebird@lemmy.world · 6 pts · 2y (2 replies)

Our set piece goals have really slowed down.

raumdeuter@mastodon.social · 6 pts · 2y (1 reply)

ironeaglebird@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 2y

I still dream of the one from Goodison Park.

sensiblepuffin@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 2y

Always too soon, especially if it has the effect we're worried about. But that's for a different day :D

raumdeuter@mastodon.social · 2 pts · 2y

Astrealix@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 2y

ironeaglebird@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 2y (4 replies)

Real Madrid score!

Astrealix@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 2y

just now popping up on my stream, that's a pretty fun goal lol.

Astrealix@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 2y (2 replies)

hala madrid

raumdeuter@mastodon.social · 2 pts · 2y (1 reply)

@Astrealix @ironeaglebird and City should have scored just now. off the post and far post miss

Astrealix@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 2y

hala madrid!

sensiblepuffin@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 2y

Tomi off for Eddie? Well, we either score 3, or concede three.

bootinelli@lemmyis.fun · 4 pts · 2y

Potentially decisive pass? Overhit.

Astrealix@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 2y (1 reply)

and now KdB has equalised. ffs lol

raumdeuter@mastodon.social · 1 pts · 2y

Makes their form in the league worse maybe?

Astrealix@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 2y (2 replies)

how's that gone bayern's way

sensiblepuffin@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 2y

I was wondering when the home bias was going to start showing

nuggsy@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 2y

I don't know, but I feel like this ref deserves a job in the PL

Astrealix@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 2y (1 reply)

even the fucking ball boys being cunts wtf

sensiblepuffin@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 2y

Eh, that I can't get too mad about. Not like ours don't do the same thing

REF BEING IN THE WAY OF THE PASS WHAT THE FUCK

ARSENAL SPECIAL

sensiblepuffin@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 2y (1 reply)

FOUR MINUTES ROFL

raumdeuter@mastodon.social · 1 pts · 2y

Where are their yellow cards?

bootinelli@lemmyis.fun · 3 pts · 2y

cut back or nothing

sensiblepuffin@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 2y

Why in the world were we letting Sane get so deep?

sensiblepuffin@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 2y

FOR FUCK'S SAKE ARE YOU KIDDING ME OF COURSE

sensiblepuffin@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 2y (1 reply)

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.

sensiblepuffin@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 2y

Also looking forward to there being like 3 minutes of added on time, despite Bayern wasting about 10 in the past 15 minutes alone

sensiblepuffin@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 2y

Why not just whistle for the foul before we even take the corner? Might as well. Fucking refs

ironeaglebird@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 2y (1 reply)

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

Astrealix@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 2y

get a better stream XD

ironeaglebird@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 2y

Dang over hit crosses are so disappointing. I always perk up and then deflate. Lol

sensiblepuffin@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 2y

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

MHPengwingz@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 2y (1 reply)

Tomi is basically midfield

bootinelli@lemmyis.fun · 3 pts · 2y

Tomi and Dec interchanging flank/pivot

Astrealix@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 2y

I shouted for Benny to shoot, my bad

bootinelli@lemmyis.fun · 3 pts · 2y

Been pretty bad at defending crosses today

bootinelli@lemmyis.fun · 3 pts · 2y

Red card to Declan for kicking the ball after the flag went up.

If you know you know

bootinelli@lemmyis.fun · 3 pts · 2y (3 replies)

Martinelli centre forward hive where you at

Astrealix@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 2y (2 replies)

they literally just mentioned how he's only scored 1 in the last 10 games lol

Astrealix@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 2y (1 reply)

I know in part it's cause of the system but he could still do better lol

nuggsy@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 2y

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.

sensiblepuffin@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 2y

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.

sensiblepuffin@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 2y

This isn't great... if they don't get cards Odegaard is going to get pinballed around until he's forced off

Astrealix@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 2y

wearing my mccabe away kit today btw, wonder if it can transfer the energy from our win against Bristol City to this game XD

sensiblepuffin@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 2y (2 replies)

if it were still 0-0 there would have been a minimum of 8

Astrealix@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 2y (1 reply)

no there wouldn't, CL use the old rules

sensiblepuffin@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 2y

I'm just being sardonic, four minutes is still low under the old rules I would say

Astrealix@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 2y

MHPengwingz@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 2y

Oy....

Astrealix@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 2y

Good attempt from Ødegaard that. Neuer should be saving that better though shouldn't he.

Astrealix@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 2y (1 reply)

Tomiyasu has not been great today. Not that many fullbacks will be good against Sane tbf.

nuggsy@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 2y

Kiwior struggled as well

sensiblepuffin@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 2y (2 replies)

And City just equalized. Of course.

nuggsy@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 2y (1 reply)

It is City...

sensiblepuffin@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 2y

And we're Arsenal. We can beat Granit Xhaka's understudies, surely.

bootinelli@lemmyis.fun · 3 pts · 2y (2 replies)

Are there no rules as to which half of the pitch is watered in HT?

Apparently only our final third is being watered rn

ThePowerOfGeek@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 2y

That's some underhanded shit right there. 😒

nuggsy@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 2y

I don't think there are specific rules behind the watering in general. I could be wrong?

hit twice i think? at least that's what the commentary said

nuggsy@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 2y (1 reply)

I must have missed that. I looked away and just caught it on the replay

Astrealix@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 2y

I missed it even on the replay tbh, just heard them say it.

Astrealix@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 2y (1 reply)

We'll be fine. Trossard is massively clutch.

sensiblepuffin@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 2y

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

Astrealix@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 2y

Very Attacking. Substituing on all the attackers. Arteta plays this like I do FM

forgrytaboutit@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 2y

he's running better now?

nuggsy@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 2y

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

bootinelli@lemmyis.fun · -1 pts · 2y (1 reply)

I can't think of any possible subs.

If you say Tross I wanna know why

nuggsy@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 2y

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.

bootinelli@lemmyis.fun · -2 pts · 2y

Assanal failed to build up through the press and are now letting Bayern have the ball
