Man, Garnacho seems like a worse finisher than Jesus lol

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

literally his own fault lol

Astrealix@lemmy.world · 6 pts · 2y (1 reply)

He steps on our guy and Old Trafford calls for a penalty. Least it's not under SAF cuz you KNOW that would've been given.

@Astrealix I blame David Moyes for drilling him into playing too cautiously for the last few years.

Astrealix@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 2y

Tbf, can't blame him. Have you seen West Ham lately? XD

I like how a literal kid plays ahead of the spinning top

Trossard!!!!!!

Fucking hell, it's an all United panel(and Merson) on Sky sports.

Guess who's on it too🤣🤣🤣🤣

bootinelli@lemmyis.fun · 3 pts · 2y (1 reply)

Spoiler, it's Wazza.

sabreW4K3@lazysoci.al · 3 pts · 2y

Looking like some former brick layer. It's insane how much he doesn't look like a former footballer.

ThePowerOfGeek@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 2y

All these ex-Man United players turned pundits are like cockroaches. They just keep appearing on mass and spew out shit. And when one goes away another two appear.

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

I'm just saying, when Liverpool beat them 7-0 they also only had 1 goal in the first half

raumdeuter@mastodon.social · 4 pts · 2y (1 reply)

but time is running out and we don't have the best counter attacking group out there

nuggsy@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 2y

I think this is main point for me. We're not as good on the break.

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

TROSSSARDDDDD

raumdeuter@mastodon.social · 5 pts · 2y

I want to smash them so badly

Maybe I've been looking at the radioactive zebra kit wrong... maybe it's meant to be camouflage this whole time...

raumdeuter@mastodon.social · 3 pts · 2y (1 reply)

camoflage in a radioactive fallout?

nuggsy@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 2y

It feels like that with the sun blaring down on it, haha

bootinelli@lemmyis.fun · 4 pts · 2y

Tomiyasu piledriver

we'll be there 😭

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

Howdy all! COYG! :)

Astrealix@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 2y

Lez do dis.

nuggsy@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 2y (7 replies)

I don't disagree that Raya has done a fantastic job. But how can you say definitively that Ramsdale wouldn't have grown as a player playing more consistently and done as good a job. To say Raya has "won" feels ridiculous to mention.

bootinelli@lemmyis.fun · 4 pts · 2y (2 replies)

I get it. We all love Ramsdale, but there's not much room for experimentation when you're trying to beat Man City to the PL.

nuggsy@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 2y

Not this City team... sigh

Astrealix@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 2y

Should've played him in the Champions League.

sabreW4K3@lazysoci.al · 3 pts · 2y (1 reply)

The save just before you posted this was so dodgy. Even if he didn't catch the ball, pushing it into the middle of the six yard box is insane.

nuggsy@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 2y

He's not been perfect for sure. I think he's benefited from having Saliba and Gabriel in front of him, which is what you want as a keeper anyway.

raumdeuter@mastodon.social · 3 pts · 2y (1 reply)

Raya won based on the new Arteta requirements for the position

nuggsy@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 2y

I can agree with that. But I don't feel like that's what the commentator was basing his comment off of

nuggsy@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 2y

The Saliba stat of potentially being the only player who has played every game for Arsenal is astounding

bootinelli@lemmyis.fun · 4 pts · 2y (1 reply)

They don't even have a style, it's just "pass it forward and pray someone's there to receive it"

nuggsy@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 2y

Same as it ever was

Astrealix@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 2y

booking for taking too long on a goal kick in injury time, my fucking keeper

Astrealix@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 2y

So when are we getting Jorginho to come on

sabreW4K3@lazysoci.al · 3 pts · 2y (1 reply)

Don't piss me off. You're gonna hold your knee because you stood on someone's foot?

nuggsy@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 2y

Was thinking that too... trying to sell it too much.

There was one in the Burnley game with like 4 mins to go. Another Burnely player came along and pretty much dragged him to his feet. Looked ridiculous, lol

Astrealix@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 2y

Has Garnacho had a shot on target yet? Good defending from White, of course, but lol.

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

That challenge looked nasty

raumdeuter@mastodon.social · 3 pts · 2y

it sure did

bootinelli@lemmyis.fun · 3 pts · 2y

Yanited playing so well, I hope 10Hag gets ten more years

bootinelli@lemmyis.fun · 3 pts · 2y

Gary Neville probably asking for a red rn

bootinelli@lemmyis.fun · 3 pts · 2y (1 reply)

We had Partey and Chenko as starters last szn

bootinelli@lemmyis.fun · 0 pts · 2y

How could the defence not crumble

sabreW4K3@lazysoci.al · 3 pts · 2y

Tell me he's not injured

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

Partey wake up ffs lol

raumdeuter@mastodon.social · 2 pts · 2y

he's good for a few of them unfortunately

Astrealix@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 2y

Declan's getting one today.

sabreW4K3@lazysoci.al · 3 pts · 2y (8 replies)

We look so dodgy with Partey in the team

bootinelli@lemmyis.fun · 2 pts · 2y (4 replies)

No way he stays past the summer

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

Yeah, he's an interesting one... I could see the club being open to offers for sure.

sabreW4K3@lazysoci.al · 2 pts · 2y (2 replies)

I don't think we're pushing to move him on, but we should be. Bring in Fofana, which will cut the wages down a bit too.

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

Just my thoughts, if there's any accuracy to the post about the players we're looking to move on, it could be we're looking to improve our squad depth and he could still be a handy player to have as an option on the bench.

sabreW4K3@lazysoci.al · 2 pts · 2y

Don't forget he's still got his legal woes too.

nuggsy@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 2y

He definitely looks a little off pace

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

Jorgi at HT? And we score 4 more

sabreW4K3@lazysoci.al · 2 pts · 2y

I think we're more defensively solid with either Rice or Jorginho playing at 6. Even with Havertz at 8, we look a lot less fragile than with Partey in.

Astrealix@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 2y

Here comes the rain, do do do do

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

Is it Nelli time yet

Astrealix@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 2y

Now it is!

nuggsy@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 2y

I would love an in form blitkreig Nelli

bootinelli@lemmyis.fun · 3 pts · 2y (1 reply)

Only away fans audible rn

nuggsy@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 2y

I was thinking that earlier too. But I wasn't sure if that was just how the ground was micced up and it was the home fans that sounded like away fans

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

That slope there can't be safe. How is that legal?

raumdeuter@mastodon.social · 5 pts · 2y

it's been injuring opposition players for decades now

woolwich1886@mastodon.world · 3 pts · 2y

@Astrealix I was thinking that earlier when Tomi had to mind his footwork on the sideline. seems really dangerous

nuggsy@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 2y

Lucky it wasn't raining when Saka slid down Everest

nuggsy@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 2y

I was thinking the same...

raumdeuter@mastodon.social · 3 pts · 2y

Raya catching and falling in the first half when we're up 1-0? Hmmm

bootinelli@lemmyis.fun · 3 pts · 2y

Nice baiting the press

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

Look better this half.

Astrealix@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 2y

So far, anyway XD

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

We've not exactly started well

nuggsy@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 2y

Well, we technically the very beginning started well. Not so much since the 3rd minute xD

Astrealix@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 2y

this game is very worrying ngl, playing into their style a bit

nuggsy@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 2y

United heavily water that side of the pitch? xD

bootinelli@lemmyis.fun · 2 pts · 2y

Get Partey off please ffs

sabreW4K3@lazysoci.al · 2 pts · 2y

Martinelli bought a save

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

This match feels like constipation

nuggsy@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 2y

What if you reeeeally like constipation

nuggsy@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 2y

Ohh, get up you wet flannel

raumdeuter@mastodon.social · 2 pts · 2y (5 replies)

running a half-fit Saka into the ground for a second season running

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

Just two games left, we need him on, he's our best player.

raumdeuter@mastodon.social · 2 pts · 2y

Sadly, only way Saka gets subbed under Arteta is if he's injured

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

we have Jesus

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

Not as good.

woolwich1886@mastodon.world · 2 pts · 2y

@Astrealix it doesn't look too bad, no real contact. probably more just frustrated than anything else.

Astrealix@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 2y

hooooo that's the old Martinelli back, just need to bury that.

sabreW4K3@lazysoci.al · 2 pts · 2y

Terrible by Saka there

sabreW4K3@lazysoci.al · 2 pts · 2y

Should've scored

nuggsy@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 2y

That pass was so uncharacteristic of Ødegaard

nuggsy@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 2y

Massive by Saliba

bootinelli@lemmyis.fun · 2 pts · 2y

blud away fans have gone ballistic with the chanting

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

It's like we don't have a means to change the game state when the game isn't going our way.

bootinelli@lemmyis.fun · 2 pts · 2y

like stuff rolling down a slope

Astrealix@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 2y

You can just seen the contrast between our defenders and theirs between that from Saliba and that on Havertz lol

bootinelli@lemmyis.fun · 1 pts · 2y

bootinelli@lemmyis.fun · 1 pts · 2y

Having a long period between games hasn't proven good for us this season

nuggsy@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 2y

I'm getting over these Kane-like challenges for aerials...

bootinelli@lemmyis.fun · 1 pts · 2y

Tomi not having a good day

nuggsy@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 2y

Trossard with a beautiful intercept

nuggsy@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 2y

Oooo... ambitious from Tomiyasu!

nuggsy@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 2y

Here's the man himself! :)

nuggsy@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 2y

I've always disliked the arrogance of players who protest against doing something so obvious. Some weird gaslighting shit

nuggsy@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 2y

No free kick? lol

bootinelli@lemmyis.fun · 1 pts · 2y

passes not sticking after a long while off the pitch?

nuggsy@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 2y

That was Rice-y...

nuggsy@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 2y

Their left side has played fairly well

nuggsy@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 2y

Nelli!! I felt maybe he should have hit sooner

nuggsy@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 2y

More of this please
