Really missing Martinelli and Trossard this match

Gingerrific@lemmy.world · 5 pts · 2y

We have been quite sloppy and just look a little off. Been quite frustrating to watch and I'm not confident in a late winner for us.

Great finish by Romero!

How many shithouse fouls by Romero today?

MHPengwingz@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 2y

Omg i can't stop laughing at that 😂😂😂😂

Astrealix@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 2y

Still not over the save, the footwork on that like wow

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

Man Jorgi has been piss poor today what the hell

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

That matchup against Maddison is just not it...

ironeaglebird@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 2y

Rice and his dang calf. Lol

sae@iusearchlinux.fyi · 3 pts · 2y

We really need to be winning games like these. Such a shame.

ironeaglebird@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 2y

Romero playing for us today

ironeaglebird@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 2y

Agent Romero returning possession to us

sae@iusearchlinux.fyi · 3 pts · 2y

Not feeling too optimistic about how this ends guys.

ironeaglebird@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 2y

This is one of the most midfield contested matches I've seen

ironeaglebird@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 2y

A new rivalry is born for Arteta with Ange.

Bruh me no likey when camera show Aaron 😭😭😭

Thank god for Gabi XL

DeathWearsANecktie@lemm.ee · 3 pts · 2y

Exceptional save by Raya

HaleEndGrad@lemmygrad.ml · 3 pts · 2y

Right flank through balls = 💩

HaleEndGrad@lemmygrad.ml · 3 pts · 2y

Romero my heart

Astrealix@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 2y

Formally a Romero goal

What a goal as well

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

I can't help but be disappointed

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

Same, but I will it's safe to say we have to tone down expectations. And we really misses Trossard and Martinelli...actually we miss Xhaka.

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

Have to say... Spurs looked good. I think Arteta vs Ange will be held up to compare transitions

MHPengwingz@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 2y

I have to reluctantly concur...Ange is a good coach, I absolutely hated that he went to the Spurs

HaleEndGrad@lemmygrad.ml · 3 pts · 2y

Rice off J20 on

MHPengwingz@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 2y

Damn what a save

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

Should've at least put that on target

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

Him and Eddie have both had great chances. If we want to win the title we need to be clinical.

Astrealix@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 2y

Eh eddie's was not that good tbh, it'll come tho

Astrealix@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 2y

Shoulda just passed it into the bottom corner honestly

ironeaglebird@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 2y

Always Son

Astrealix@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 2y

Nelson pls

Astrealix@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 2y

It's gonna come

Raya's black shorts with that like lime green top looks a bit odd. Lol

sae@iusearchlinux.fyi · 3 pts · 2y

Ode looks gassed.

Astrealix@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 2y

Does it count as an own goal tbh I can't tell whether it's on target

MHPengwingz@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 2y

Captain's passing has been off today

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

Looks even worse for Jorgi from a different angle in the replay

WorldcupCSR@arsenalfc.social · 1 pts · 2y (3 replies)

@ironeaglebird @Astrealix any word on if rice is off due to injury. If it’s tactical then Arteta’s gotten this one wrong

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

He was back out on the bench with his calf bandaged

WorldcupCSR@arsenalfc.social · 2 pts · 2y (1 reply)

@Mansuke ugh but thanks. At least there’s a reason.

Mansuke@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 2y

I don't think any of us could have predicted that though to be honest, for all Jorginho's faults, composure and passing aren't generally where he's exposed

Astrealix@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 2y

Better shot than Partey from Maddison there that's a home run

HaleEndGrad@lemmygrad.ml · 3 pts · 2y

Didn't know eddie was still on

Nelson?

ironeaglebird@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 2y

Astrealix@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 2y

Imagine doing that to your own international team mate in the Southgate era

MHPengwingz@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 2y

God this has been frustrating

HaleEndGrad@lemmygrad.ml · 2 pts · 2y

Shit like this makes me laugh now

Astrealix@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 2y

That... is exactly why I feel like Ramsdale should be there though

Gingerrific@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 2y

Spurs don't look like they are used to sustained pressure when they have the ball and will take an extra second to dwell or an extra touch on the ball and that hesitation to move the ball quickly is leading to a lot of turnovers.

MHPengwingz@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 2y

Oh ffs

HaleEndGrad@lemmygrad.ml · 2 pts · 2y

Too many long balls to call off a Havertz sub

Astrealix@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 2y

They're already back to clattering us

MHPengwingz@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 2y

Ok Reiss do your thang

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

Has something changed in the rules? I swear they keep blowing the whistle early now

ironeaglebird@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 2y

They keep blowing it at like 45 seconds

Astrealix@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 2y

LETS GOOOOOOOOO

Astrealix@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 2y

We're being a bit sloppy, it better not bite us

ironeaglebird@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 2y

Raya showing why he's there.

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

And those guys said he's better than Gabriel 😂

Gingerrific@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 2y

Better at:

  • OGs
  • Getting yellows and reds
  • Making bad tackles
MHPengwingz@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 2y

Come on ESR let's goooo

ironeaglebird@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 2y

Big Gabi solid at the back as always

Mansuke@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 2y

DeathWearsANecktie@lemm.ee · 2 pts · 2y

Wtf Jorgi

HaleEndGrad@lemmygrad.ml · 2 pts · 2y

What is this match

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

Havertz for Vieira, Jorginho for Rice

Astrealix@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 2y

Idk if it's from all their clattering or from our tactics but I'm glad to see Havertz on

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

We might actually see a sub for Ramsdale this game at some point

Astrealix@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 2y

People been saying raya provides calmness we really don't need that calmness rn tho we need that fire

Astrealix@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 2y

Is their game plan "hope to injure someone important"

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

That looks bad for Maddison

MHPengwingz@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 2y

Eh he'll live

City "fans" never have to go through this

All too familiar of a feeling for us though.

ironeaglebird@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 2y

How was Romero not on a yellow already?

ironeaglebird@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 2y

Everyone excited for Sheffield United and Newcastle later? Because apparently that's the match of the day.

DeathWearsANecktie@lemm.ee · 2 pts · 2y

I'm less confident about us beating them this season than I was last season, despite us having a better squad now. They've started surprisingly well with Ange.

Still another half to go, pls smash them

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

Not looking good for Ramsdale

ironeaglebird@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 2y

But he seems to be relishing the competition

Halftime thoughts lads?

Astrealix@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 2y

Ødegaard needs to wake up or come off

HaleEndGrad@lemmygrad.ml · 1 pts · 2y

Why can't we convert our dominant play into our dominant lead?

Also, Nketiah off. Reiss at LW, Jesus at 9.

Saliba switched off for the equaliser.

Astrealix@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 2y

How the fuck it's gone their way, the whole play was offside off kulu anyway

Astrealix@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 2y

How did Zinny get the throw in there lol

Astrealix@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 2y

Imma be real that was kinda shit though

Astrealix@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 2y

It's like the Fulham game again

Astrealix@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 2y

Raya needs to save that tbh

ironeaglebird@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 2y

That arm stopped a goal!

Astrealix@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 2y

We need to stop letting the opposition into the game, it happens literally every game

MHPengwingz@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 2y

Jesus Raya just pick up the ball... that was dicey

ironeaglebird@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 2y

Saka earned his Twix bar with that pen.

Astrealix@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 2y

Only 4 minutes?

Astrealix@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 2y

You can see that Jesus and Nketiah don't have that chemistry between them that they need to be scoring a lot more

Astrealix@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 2y

Amazing obstruction how's that allowed XD just grab the player and wrestle him for a minute why don't you

HaleEndGrad@lemmygrad.ml · 1 pts · 2y (1 reply)

Prolly fitness

MHPengwingz@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 2y

It's an issue when I find myself nodding my head in approval when Havertz passes the ball forward (finally). It's fundamentals seriously.

Astrealix@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 2y

How the hell did Saka keep that ball

Astrealix@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 2y

Love last season's away kit and it showing on telly still

Finally a card

How's it also gone to Ødegaard tho

And I can't see who tried to drag him up but that should be a yellow as well

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

He flashed the card sign

Astrealix@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 2y

Astrealix@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 2y

HaleEndGrad@lemmygrad.ml · 1 pts · 2y

If they showed half of their attacking intensity against City I'd be happy

Astrealix@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 2y

Pure striker's instinct from Romero, can't believe he's a CB

Might get our MOTM if he keeps that up

What is going on with Jorginho

DeathWearsANecktie@lemm.ee · 1 pts · 2y (1 reply)

A better result for them than it is for us, even if you set aside it being at the Emirates.

sensiblepuffin@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 2y

It's 100% a win for them, denying us 2 points at home and conceding 1 to them.

But also best RW arguably in the world ofc he starts

Astrealix@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 2y

Ffs

sensiblepuffin@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 2y (5 replies)

Somehow we've gone from having "way too much depth" in DM to having to resort to Jorginho, who did not rise to the occasion today.

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

More just Jorginho being poor today than anything, on paper it's still the best 6 depth in the world tbh.

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

On paper, but if Rice is out for a few weeks and Partey is still out, then it's Jorginho and El Neny, right? That's not good enough...

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

Seems like there's some good news about Rice. Tbh though, if it's Jorginho and Elneny that's still quite good, but we should adjust the system to suit Jorginho's strengths. Havertz drop deeper probably.

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

True, I hadn't even thought about Havertz as an option. Hope that was Jorginho's one stinker of the season...

Astrealix@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 2y

Havertz looks comfortable dropping deep tbh, based solely on what I've seen him at Arsenal

Astrealix@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 2y

I like how they're in possession yet the ball keeps going backwards

HaleEndGrad@lemmygrad.ml · 1 pts · 2y (1 reply)

Has Mikel said anything about why he dropped Rams?

Ødegaard's been sloppy

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

Very sloppy. We need him to get it together so he can score a goal or two

Astrealix@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 2y

I'll be glad if he can keep the ball rn tbh

Astrealix@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 2y

How's that a foul lol

Astrealix@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 2y

We've seen Ødegaard score that so often that it's almost weird he didn't

Obviously a difficult shot tho like it always is

I'd like Havertz for Ødegaard at halftime ngl
