Who decided that a white kit with black socks vs white socks was a good idea btw lol

ronsboy67@mas.to · 1 pts · 2y

@Astrealix I am just thrilled that the first Arsenal game I've been able to watch this season is in the lovely 3rd kit and not the eyebleed yellow pukefest

Reiss my man I cry for you

MHPengwingz@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 2y

What does man gotta do?

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

Ref, that's a yellow for constantly fouling Saka, and another for intimidating the linesman.

Wtf man

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

Is the latter in UEFA rules or just PL?

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

Not sure tbo but to me it's a basic rule that should be applied across every league/competition, if it's not already.

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

Yes it should. I learnt recently they actually have sin bins in the lower (regionalised) leagues in England for it nowadays, which is pretty good too.

Gingerrific@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 2y

I'm glad something (or anything for that matter) is being done.

HOW THE FUCK DOES HE DO IT

coygsu@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 2y

I regret ever saying he should be benched, holy shit

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

Kiwior on could be good as well, go to a back 5

Astrealix@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 2y

On the other hand another goal would be so much more comfortable

MHPengwingz@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 2y

Yes Gabi!!!! Yes!!!

MHPengwingz@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 2y

We're lucky that was a bad angle

what a turn!!

SoupACabra@lemmy.wtf · 4 pts · 2y

Kai on the touchline

Gingerrific@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 2y

This fucking ref.

Ain't no way that was a foul on Saliba.

Jesus in the UCL, special

Yeah Acuna is argentine alright

MHPengwingz@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 2y

That head holding is a common trait

coygsu@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 2y

I was wrong. He did deserve the start lol.

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

Easy is not the Way.

WorldcupCSR@arsenalfc.social · 1 pts · 2y

@MHPengwingz @raumdeuter we’re doing F all in the attacking half

Astrealix@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 2y

Eddie is quite good at forcing it into the corner

Gingerrific@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 2y

Our ability to press well while also being able to play through theirs is giving me a lot of confidence.

As is tradition we need to be better in the opposition third, but so far I'm liking what I see.

MHPengwingz@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 2y

Man English fans drunk cheering got nothing on the rest of Europe

sensiblepuffin@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 2y

We're waiting far too long to cross/cut back... Saka ran forward until there were no options left

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

That was close again

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

@MHPengwingz @Astrealix no more Raya!!

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

I get sticking with the plan but Raya doesn't have that confidence yet

@MHPengwingz @WorldcupCSR I am beginning to wonder whether Ramsdale killed Arteta's pets

MHPengwingz@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 2y

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

I think it's time for subs isn't it?

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

Definately is. Saka for someone. Give the kid a rest.

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

Problem is Saka can play shit for 80 mins but have a strong 5 mins in each half. Until we have another dangerous option that does what he does ...

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

Not that I disagree with your point. However, whether it's Eddie, Trossard or Nelson one of them needs to step up and put a shift in in games we are ahead so that we can rest Saka at the end of games.

raumdeuter@arsenalfc.social · 2 pts · 2y

agree - but some have suggested the drop off has more to do with the midfield not being as coherent and together as last season.

sensiblepuffin@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 2y

WHAT A SHOT

SoupACabra@lemmy.wtf · 2 pts · 2y

Jorgi intercepted pass starts off the counter, he obviously doesn't have the feet to make amends

MHPengwingz@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 2y

Second half let's go!!! We need to kill off this match.

Raya standing as still as Manu Zinsberger

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

If Ramsdale was dropped purely for performance, the reasons for keeping Raya in are dwindling...

Astrealix@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 2y

Ehhh idt you can really blame him for that goal, just always annoying when goalkeepers don't even try to get on it

Astrealix@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 2y

Not that he could save it but like with Manu ffs at least try

Astrealix@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 2y

The way we're preferring Martinelli at RW over Nelson .. :(

Raya not doing himself any favours with his bad passes.

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

If Mikel is true to his word (I doubt), this experiment needs to end. At least it was just a lease.

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

Ramsdale deserved either the league or the cups.

The whole thing confuses me and I just want some clarity.

MHPengwingz@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 2y

I think us and Ramsdale deserve some clarity

raumdeuter@arsenalfc.social · 2 pts · 2y

Arteta would rather sink with Raya than swim with Ramsdale.

SoupACabra@lemmy.wtf · 2 pts · 2y

Same story as the rest of the matches we've played - composed backline and barely any chances created

SoupACabra@lemmy.wtf · 2 pts · 2y

Ronnie Ramsdale inhales

Probably woulda been quite good if Martinelli actually got that ball

Astrealix@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 2y

That looked kinda dangerous from Ramos ngl

We regressed on set pieces

Astrealix@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 2y

Need Havertz on for them, can't have them scoring from another

Astrealix@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 2y

Needs to be scoring that. Harder than it looks tbf but cmon

Trossard in for his second half specials?

Astrealix@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 2y

Ødegaard was annoyed bout that one

Astrealix@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 2y

Do I even need to set up a poll for MOTM???

Astrealix@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 2y

Ah yes I see the tried and tested strategy of "just murder Saka" once again

sensiblepuffin@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 2y

Yknow what I kinda wish that went in, woulda been a sweet goal

SoupACabra@lemmy.wtf · 1 pts · 2y (1 reply)

Is an inverted fullback always a part of a double pivot or can one also function as an LCM/RCM?

Astrealix@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 2y

Probably would need quite a bit of pace to do so. Then again sorta what Zinny did last season at times. Hard to really define positions in our system ngl

Astrealix@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 2y

Hhhhhhhhhh

Astrealix@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 2y

Why does the ref even need a whistle, just keeps it in his pocket

Except for that moment but Jorgi is serviceable for Europe.

Oh good, time for Holdini to secure the w-
