West ham just wanted it more. We haven't looked like scoring for the past hour

sensiblepuffin@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 2y

Kai wants it bad

sensiblepuffin@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 2y

It was a nice thought

sensiblepuffin@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 2y

Kai has looked good so far tbh. I really hope he has a banger today

sensiblepuffin@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 2y

I can't get over Rammers' complete confusion at whatever Hooper has said to him after the goal

DeathWearsANecktie@lemm.ee · 3 pts · 2y

What the fuck is our defending tonight

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

Have a sinking feeling that Martinelli will get an injury from this match

Astrealix@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 2y

In before he doesn't even come on though lol

Astrealix@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 2y

Eddie step the fuck up

Astrealix@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 2y

Not bad from Benny that, wish it went in for his sake

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

Might be a bit late for Tomi, damage already been done

coygsu@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 2y (3 replies)

Gotta stop further damage.

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

3-0 and 2-0 still mean we ain't in this competition... we need a win here ffs

Astrealix@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 2y

Never mind, it does make a difference. Fucking hate this competition

Astrealix@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 2y

Not that it means we should give up defending I'm just frustrated

Astrealix@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 2y

Might need an Elneny banger to tear this game open

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

Havertz being good

sensiblepuffin@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 2y

Kai good

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

Way harder than it looks but Eddie that's a big chance 😭

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

0.49 xG, if you believe it

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

Either it's in or it's not

xG might even rate it higher but that ball comes in very awkwardly and on a first touch, not that easy tbh

sensiblepuffin@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 2y

It's true. I actually have started to look at xGOT lately as that takes into account where the keeper is when the shot is struck but obviously doesn't do much for off-target shots

sensiblepuffin@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 2y

Well this has been embarrassing

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

Havertz is fired up real hard

Astrealix@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 2y

Probably used to needing to fight for a spot at Chelsea lol

coygsu@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 2y

Reiss Nelson's crosses, so good

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

The worst part is I really don't think Ramsdale has done anything wrong but this probably means he's not gonna play any time soon

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

Maybe needed a stronger wrist. It doesn't look good in slow-motion, unfortunate for him.

Astrealix@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 2y

Kiwior deflection is just unfortunate imo

Astrealix@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 2y

Fine margins...

Astrealix@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 2y

It's like we don't even care

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

Carbohydrates warming up

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

Want him to score the winner against them

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

60 yard screamer off the back of Fabianski's head

Astrealix@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 2y

Oh if we're going for unlikely goals I want Ramsdale to lob one in

sensiblepuffin@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 2y

Attaboy Reiss!

coygsu@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 2y

So much to improve on in the final third.

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

The nerve for them calling themselves champions of Europe using the UECL lol

Campeones*

Astrealix@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 2y

coulda been a card on Havertz tbh

sensiblepuffin@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 2y

Well, here's where we didn't want to be - if it's possible to put 12 men behind the ball they will

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

What are we doing

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

Zinny needs to learn some tricks from Tierney

coygsu@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 2y

Trent Alexander-Arnold moment

Astrealix@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 2y

Benny...

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

Havertz and Nelson looking like two bright spots.

coygsu@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 2y

Jorginho too, imo

sensiblepuffin@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 2y

If I'm being generous it looks like White jumps a little higher because of the pileup occurring underneath him. But still not great

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

Tf you mean take Havertz off he's been our best player

Take Eddie or Trossard off if anyone in the attack

raumdeuter@arsenalfc.social · 2 pts · 2y

right side looks so disconnected from each other

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

If they're champions of Europe so are we lmfao fuck off

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

they're only champions of Stratford or wherever it is that stadium is

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

Tbf the next highest East London team is in League One not much contest

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

Leyton Orient, right? They should have given them the stadium lol

Astrealix@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 2y

Shoulda just given it to MK Dons, they'd be happy to move again anyway

Astrealix@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 2y

Havertz really getting no support

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

Why tf the West Ham fans annoyed by us taking a while on a throw, it benefits them

raumdeuter@arsenalfc.social · 2 pts · 2y

They're just a bunch of disagreeable shits

DeathWearsANecktie@lemm.ee · 2 pts · 2y

Trossard and Zinchenko not great in that half, Havertz good.

Astrealix@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 2y

First actual attempt in the game

coygsu@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 2y (3 replies)

I'm disappointed that Emile is out. This West Ham midfield would have been a good test for him.

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

Man's got the worst luck. Every time it looks like he might have a chance to prove himself he gets injured.

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

hopefully just precautionary

sensiblepuffin@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 2y

Hopefully. Imagine giving up Nando's for this

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

Space behind the left wing, we're seeing teams target that a lot lately...

coygsu@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 2y

Vieira and White need to gel

coygsu@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 2y

Get rid of the ball!

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

RIP, that's the nail in the coffin

Astrealix@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 2y

Need to pull a Reading...

Astrealix@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 2y

Was expecting that to go in from the reflection with how this game has gone tbh

Astrealix@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 2y

Can't tell if I'm projecting onto the players but it looks so lethargic.

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

Got rid of Man City as a bogey team only to make West Ham our new one

raumdeuter@arsenalfc.social · 3 pts · 2y (1 reply)

We'll be ready for them in the league. We BETTER be

Astrealix@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 2y

Half these players won't be playing in the league lol

coygsu@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 2y

Ben, why?

sensiblepuffin@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 2y

Excellent free kick, would have been nice to see Kai get a goal with them legs

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

What'd i miss?

sensiblepuffin@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 2y

Nothing much, there's been some back and forth - and as I'm typing this White scores an OG

Probertd8@mastodonapp.uk · 2 pts · 2y

So people ask me - What is tautology.
My answer is - It's that thing if you don't know what it is, then you don't know what it is.

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

WTF I was gone for 10 minutes!

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

First time watching Arsenal?

sensiblepuffin@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 2y

Happens the first time, every time

Astrealix@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 2y

Didn't even notice we were already in added time

also finally looking like ourselves in the fucking 95th minute is fun

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

BENNY!!

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

Also Ramsdale good save

Astrealix@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 2y

Ngl i thought it was still on target before Benny got to it though, but rewatch looks like nah

Astrealix@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 2y

Tf is that rejoining from Bowen, literally gets on the pitch right next to the ball and leads to the corner

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

Not happy with Eddie today.

raumdeuter@arsenalfc.social · 3 pts · 2y (1 reply)

Everyone on the team is playing a level below West Ham. Hammers had a point to prove and did.

Astrealix@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 2y

Even Rice looks like he's not his usual self

Astrealix@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 2y

If only VAR lol could have saved us from ourselves

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

Not sure how that's not a foul from white but sure lol

Astrealix@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 2y

Looked like he just shoved the guy down to me

coygsu@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 2y

Jorginho's race is run. He's been sluggish since the start of the second half. He had a better first half.

sensiblepuffin@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 2y

Trying too hard, maybe

DeathWearsANecktie@lemm.ee · 1 pts · 2y

God damn wtf Ben

Astrealix@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 2y

Already constant fouling. Bastards.

Astrealix@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 2y

Even Arteta barely looks like he's bothered

Astrealix@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 2y

Just thinking bout how I'm gonna put that on his rating chart tbh, I don't remember if we've had one or if I did it in some way this season yet

Astrealix@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 2y

Saka Ødegaard and Martinelli on for Trossard Eddie and Nelson for me, not that Nelson's been bad but we need to win this and at least try

Astrealix@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 2y

Give it to Ødegaard at least he tries even when the chips are down

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

And there's the talk about Ramsdale

Astrealix@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 2y

You could maybe argue about that last goal but he was fouled on the first and got fucked by Ben, and the second one is just abysmal from Zinny

Astrealix@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 2y

Making me wanna watch Jonas Eidevall's cross and inshallah
