[Match Thread] Arsenal F.C. vs. Manchester City

Take that bald fraud

Ramsdale saving pens!

Also never forget how Trossard's goal broke lemmy.world

lol an Arsenal player must die before City get a card, I see

"We like to bend the rules that's what we do" yeah that's City

Yes Saks, you're back!

kids who didn't watch the game will tell me tomorrow how City dominated us

the reason we're playing counter-attack is the lack of a certain Ukrainian inverted man

the reason we've a clean sheet is Timber

AHAHAHAHAHA GET FUUUUUUUCKED YOU OIL BARONS

I really enjoy how these match threads aren't so pessimistic. I'm sure the Reddit one is going on about how our season is doomed.

So did this ref come out of the Manchester factory or...?

COME ON YOU GUNNERS!!! 💥💥💥 LETS FUCKING GOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Timber is having a fantastic second half.

Taking Timber off really destabilized us.

Rough start but we're getting into it.. odegaard is a beast, jurrian timber is fantastic, saliba is intelligent, martinelli + saka 😍

#COYG

Yellow card for Pep? lol

Feels like if it were Arteta he'd be sent off for even breathing in the refs direction

30 minutes into the first half I realized that our defense looks so much stronger. Timber and rice have brought some great football IQ and strong skills to the the team.

8 minutes. Lol. I already like these new stipulations on added time.

HERE WE FUCKING GOOOOOOOO

Palmer literally kicking Trossard yet "Trossard taking exception to Cole Palmer"

Havertz attempt saved again... We have had the better chances.

Refs not biased btw

Good try from Saka there, he scores those sometimes

That was worse than Partey's for sure lmfao, but ok

Great block from Timber

Wow , Odegaards move was absolutely filthy. Disrespectful on those ankles

He basically just kicked a man when he was down...

guy has plot armour

lol Rodri dodging yellows, wow

Wait, did Gabriel get a yellow for that...?

ARTETA'S GETTING A YELLOW YOU WOT MATE

Why is Saka playing so centrally?

8 minutes is fine to score a goal cmon lads

where's roy keane now ya fuckin shite

Keep forgetting Partey has pace

without looking I'll guess what's trennding on twatter - #HavertzOut

Timber my man

yes get fucked you fucking removed get fucked

Good first half overall. City don't look sharp right now and if we can just be more clinical we got this.

Alright, time to see what we're made of. Tierney can't fucking get a start, so let's see how Timber does.

No yellow for Rodri?!?!?!?!?

KT MY BELOVED

Timber really cementing out his starting spot.

ESR vs KDB, Croydon De Bruyne vs Kevin De Bruyne

Can't hear a single fucking chant from Man City, what a surprise — granted that's on TV not in the actual ground but still

Rodri still running around without a yellow card.

That looked like it hurt

The commentators early on commented on how little of the ball Arsenal had. But, City weren't doing too much, so I was happy just to weather the storm and build confidence :)

Not convinced on Havertz. Convinced on Timber.

THIS MATCH NEEDS TROSSARD!

Ødegaard silky

That would have been 1 minute in the olden days huh

RAMSDALE YOU NEED TO NOT DO THAT

RAMSDALE GOOD SAVE

Stop murdering Saka

lol, havertz on a yellow

Haaland drops deep to receive every clearance from the back

how did this team win the treble

We need to fucking score

Rice is sometimes dropping in as third CB here, interesting

Havertz really needs to stop shooting it right at the GK . What a clear cut chance.

watching The Arsenal is cardio in itself

@HaleEndGrad@lemmygrad.ml did you end up finding any of those drugs?

do you want penalties? i don't want penalties

Part of Rodri's salary goes to commentators

Tell Howard Webb to shove his whistle right up his ass

They've awakened away form Ramsdale.

Jsut send everyone forwards, hell take Ramsdale off

ESR resurgence season

Hungry Nketiah

Havertz good try

Partey and Walker should both not be allowed to continue ngl

Havertz hold up play. I love to see it.

Abu Dhabi’s government is investing in premier league refs?

Why cut to City fans we all know they're paid

Still genuinely can't believe we have Declan Rice

Of course Gabriel gets a card for running back and being kicked in the ass /lh

That's a decent idea there

Time for a Tierney long throw I reckon

FINALLY!

No one's helping Tierney there

Havertz has to do better there.

Rice interceptions, I love it.

red card to Kai for letting Dias fall

Aw that was a real chance there

Saliba cool as ever even with a player all over him.

great run of play

Ramsdale just dangling it out there for a Haaland tap in.

Declan you aren't Partey/Elneny/Xhaka yet mate

"Report anti-social behaviour" well that's me fucked from that ad

I'm about to start crying at work holy heck..... I fucking love you Trossard you cheat code 😭

Arteta red card this season. My fuggin manager!

Odegaard please no, that man has a family

Ødegaard comes on, instantly pressing

Lovely

Good reaction from Ortega. Havertz received the ball a bit awkwardly.

God save the King sounds so wrong

Bye bye Haaland

For fuck's sake

Just a tiny bit early, in case my stream's too late lol

The commentators are having a laugh at the refs.

Fuck them not putting Holding on Notable Bench lol I wouldn't be surprised if he comes on for the 5-2-3 plan today

That back heel from Trossard was beautiful

Wtf... no yellow?

Yeah, alright...

We've barely had a chance at the ball, I know it's Man City but come on lads

Wow Attwell is starting to be more fair

Can city get a card

where's the Raya propgandists now

That save... fffuuu. Only just

I thought they were in again >.<

the camera focuses on a few city players and I can't help but scream profanities

Just realised but it's interesting that Martinelli took that, feel like we never have him take them

ESR come on my man

Stream the fuck

My word don't knock that back across goal again please

Havertz shoulda passed that

Is there a way to have the thread refresh? Or is it just a good ol' F5?

lol what was the Martinelli

Rice pressing as part of the front line

Gabriel needs to do more on the goal we conceded ngl

Saliba and White combo to bully Haaland.

I am excited for the potential of more ESR this season.

Hopefully he stays fit and kicks on :)

Really annoyed at Arteta not making a substitution yet.

So many split seconds where we could make something happen but it comes to nothing

Are we getting to get a card this time? No? Why am I surprised

Fuuuu... c'mon!

Another chance

cup final at home ground how could we not win it?

Anybody else get a tingly feeling when Tierney was announced :)

what drugs would you recommend to an arsenal fan? I'm not feeling very well

Good spell of possession

We're coming into this game a bit more now, good to see

No card for Dias?!?!?!

First sub: Foden for Grealish

absolute tiki taka from Rodri

The ball looks like it's covered in mud. I think it's just a gold pattern?

Fans are so quiet, cmon lads

Rice looks like a bulkier Vieira

That's wild btw lol

How's that a yellow card wtf

lol what was that Tierney?!?!?!

Martinelli needs to improve his crossing. Not up to his previous form.

How did we not even get a corner, that shoulda been a foul lol

Why is Rice pressing instead of Havertz?

And there's KDB

Tierney doesn't look good on that goal.

Is Saka playing RB lol

Come on Partey you can't give these refs a reason

We actually look more like a 4-4-2 today lol

And here we go on the attack. EDDIEEEEEE

That was bad from us ngl

Give that surely

Need to start stringing some passes together again. Giving the ball away too often

Needed Trossard in for Havertz, smh

Tierney 1 on 1 is still massive

Some communication problems at the back?

Albert has new glasses

Here we go again

How's that legal on whoever that was back there

Timber playing without a boot? Lol

We look like we're fucking Stoke
