Imagine telling someone that Elneny and Cedric would play together in 2023
Arsenal4ever@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 2y
Oh, thank god, Cedric is on.
Oneser@lemm.ee · 2 pts · 2y
Said it before and I'll say it again - always happy when this dude has to earn his bread for the week
Astrealix@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 2y
It ain't Holdini but it'll do
Astrealix@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 2y
One thing I've noticed is Havertz keeps having someone in his exact location when he gets the ball. Wonder why.
WorldcupCSR@arsenalfc.social · 1 pts · 2y
@Astrealix agreed. Of any player in all the games he’s the most likely to run into one of his teammates
Astrealix@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 2y
One of those things that will go away the longer he's here, I reckon.
WorldcupCSR@arsenalfc.social · 2 pts · 2y
@Astrealix hope so!
Astrealix@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 2y
actually hate this kit :P
coygsu@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 2y
I'd wager 8/10 fans dislike this jersey.
Astrealix@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 2y
Starting to feel a little terrified ngl
coygsu@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 2y
We haven't had a spell of attacking play for a while now.
Astrealix@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 2y
Only ones are the one that Kai made and that shot from Eddie also from the left.
coygsu@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 2y
Liking how Kai has defended so far
LotrOrc@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 2y
Bit worried about zinchenko coming on... he s great on the ball but he switches off defensively and that could hurt us in this match
coygsu@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 2y
prophetic
LotrOrc@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 2y
Lol took two seconds
Astrealix@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 2y
What an block from Jakub Kiwior
sensiblepuffin@lemmy.world · 5 pts · 2y
Makes a goal-line clearance with his ass... there's a twerk joke to be made here somewhere
coygsu@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 2y
🤣
Astrealix@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 2y
Zinny has not been great today.
coygsu@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 2y
Very casual play
LotrOrc@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 2y
Havertz hasn't been bad but he has offered nothing either. Every time the ball goes to him it's a poor touch or a lazy pass and he slows us down
WorldcupCSR@arsenalfc.social · 1 pts · 2y
@LotrOrc @Astrealix sums up his arsenal career so far
coygsu@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 2y
Beautiful move from ESR, vintage stuff
ironeaglebird@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 2y
What was Kai even doing? Lazy shot
input@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 2y
Groan, plead kai just finish one
coygsu@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 2y
Or at least place it on target and force a difficult save
coygsu@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 2y
If I speak, I am in big trouble
sensiblepuffin@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 2y
Would have been another for the El Neny long-range bangers comp
coygsu@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 2y
Ramsdale, what a save
Arsenal4ever@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 2y
A bit desperate at this moment, we are.
sensiblepuffin@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 2y
KING OF 🇪🇬
Astrealix@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 2y
NELSON :D Also Sagoe Jr does well there
Astrealix@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 2y
or is that eddie, i can't see the number and I don't recognise sagoe jr lol
Astrealix@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 2y
It is Eddie, I just assumed based on it being on the RW lol
still WOOO HALE END
input@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 2y
That was sweet by esr shame didn't have a better end product
ironeaglebird@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 2y
Kiwi has been pretty decent this match
Astrealix@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 2y
Ramsdale should just toss it towards their net lol
ironeaglebird@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 2y
Brentford attackers has missed some great chances
Astrealix@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 2y
It's what separates midtable from Europe tbh.
Arsenal4ever@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 2y
What a save.
input@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 2y
We're just going to try and hold on now aren't we, this is not going to be fun.
Arsenal4ever@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 2y
Looks like it. Jesus is on. He can score.
coygsu@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 2y
Sagoe Jr has QUICK feet
coygsu@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 2y
Needed a full 90 from Nelson and ESR
Astrealix@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 2y
ESR's first start in ages, probably can't play the full game. Nelson might not be too great either cuz of the relative lack of preseason. Also probably tactical given that we have 2 midfielders on for a midfielder and a winger.
coygsu@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 2y
I understand. It just seemed like they had more left in their tank.
Astrealix@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 2y
Who were they doing the Cazorla chant for?
Astrealix@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 2y
Kai Havertz did quite good there, Nelson needs to slot that in though
Astrealix@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 2y
Ramsdale isn't giving that spot up without a fight
Astrealix@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 2y
Gabriel did really well there
Astrealix@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 2y
Elneny so closeeeeee
coygsu@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 2y
Kiwior, wow
Arsenal4ever@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 2y
We needed that on target, son.
Astrealix@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 2y
Thought that was a 9 on the scoreboard for a second, terrified me lol
Astrealix@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 2y
No VAR mate why you playing after the whistle and complaining
coygsu@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 2y
Cedric? They said you was dead.
ironeaglebird@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 2y
His death was greatly exaggerated.
coygsu@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 2y
Sagoe Jr played well, a lot of potential, quick feet and good decision making.
Astrealix@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 2y
Cedric coming on 🤔
Astrealix@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 2y
WHERE ARE THE DEFENCE????
Astrealix@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 2y
MY KEEPER
coygsu@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 2y
Ramsdale has gotta do better.
Astrealix@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 2y
how's that not a foul on nketiah??
coygsu@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 2y
Nelson deserves to start with Jesus up the middle.
Astrealix@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 2y
Charles is on the right, interesting that he's ahead of ACD if that's the case
sensiblepuffin@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 2y
FOR FUCK'S SAKE WHOSE IDEA WAS THAT
Astrealix@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 2y
Having to leave class so I gotta stop watching for a bit :P
Gingerrific@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 2y
Did I make it in time for the end ? How did we play?
ironeaglebird@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 2y
Elneny vs Barcelona flashbacks
coygsu@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 2y
just THROW the ball in
Astrealix@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 2y
4-4-2?? I'm not sure how we're lining up lol, no wingers
Astrealix@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 2y
Good by Ramsdale there to come out and clear it, albeit worrying XD
Astrealix@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 2y
ELNENY IS BACKKKKKKK BANGER INCOMING
coygsu@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 2y
Not a good couple of sequences there for Nketiah
coygsu@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 2y
This is the ESR that Arteta doesn't think can break into the starting lineup? He's looked so far bar the corners he took.
WorldcupCSR@arsenalfc.social · 2 pts · 2y
@coygsu @Astrealix wait has he been good?
coygsu@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 2y
He's played quite well today. Almost scored.
WorldcupCSR@arsenalfc.social · 1 pts · 2y
@coygsu great to hear. Not watching so good to hear!
Astrealix@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 2y
Arteta has been pretty full of praise for him tbf recently, but he's been out for a good while and needs to prove his way back into the team
Astrealix@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 2y
Don't think we've done a 4-4-2 diamond in forever? With this squad, at least.
ironeaglebird@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 2y
Good feet to retain the ball by Sagoe
Astrealix@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 2y
Carlos Cuesta looks terrified
Astrealix@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 2y
What's the formation now I wonder lol
Astrealix@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 2y
Guessing a 5-3-2 with Havertz up top and Tomi as CB?
Astrealix@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 2y
yeah that's what it looks like
coygsu@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 2y
Kai's brightest moment of the match. Nelson should have scored.
Astrealix@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 2y
Aston Villa 4-2 moment for Havertz?
coygsu@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 2y
Ramsdale MOTM
Astrealix@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 2y
Gabriel for me, but Ramsdale did a lot.
coygsu@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 2y
He's retaining his value. If he ever transfers out, Arsenal should get a decent sum.
Astrealix@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 2y
man's gonna push for that spot back, he's not fucking leaving
coygsu@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 2y
Arteta clearly favors Raya but we won't know for certain he will leave until the summer transfer window.
ironeaglebird@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 2y
80 minutes for ESR and Nelson
