@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
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.
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

Ref, that's a yellow for constantly fouling Saka, and another for intimidating the linesman.
Wtf man
Astrealix@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 2y
Is the latter in UEFA rules or just PL?
Gingerrific@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 2y
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
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.

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