Arsenal Thread - 2022/23

The drop off to Holding is huge.

Yeah. It's not that he's terrible individually, he is not a terrible pure defender, but he's a box defender, and just anti the way we play just now. He's not very good on the ball, he's not great in a high line, he's not a good recovery defender, and these are all things that Saliba excels at.

He jacked it because he couldn't hack it?

Read back the whole post for more clarity.

Funny but a bit premature. Nothing is decided yet.

Who the fuck reads the Islington Tribune?

Tarquin weapons

You're right.

Nothing is decided yet. Pep won't let any complacency set in and neither should we.

On present form we should thump em. But Arsenal know this is the crunch, so they'll play like men possessed.

The Tarquin players keep going to the crowd gesticulating to them to ramp up their support, it’s pathetic. It’s the player’s job to put in performances to rally the crowd, not the other way round.

Viera did it on Friday and he was shite, some of those fans had probably put in a decent performance at work that day, they expected the same from their team but they bottled it.

What was it with the 8 minutes of additional time last night. It was almost like they were going to play until Arsenal got the winner.

Saints keeper did a lot of time wasting to be fair…….

... or they'll crumble.
Let's see.

It was in the Everton game. 11 minutes.

Yep, but Everton wasted about 8 in that second half, should have been about 15 altogether.

So what, this happens every game with City.

Not usually in added on time…

No, usually if there's 5 minutes added on time in one of our games and we need a goal, the first outfield player of theirs to come within a yard of the ball goes down injured from 90:01-94:55 and the referee blows up for full time at 94:57.

We've never had 17 minutes added time to find out

Given how they've been playing if we a get a couple of early goals it could be a rout.

To be far that’s all offset by the ref blowing the final whistle about two minutes early against Villa last season haha

 

[TinFoilHat]

Nobody has won it yet and it would be churlish to suggest it has been. There's still a fuck up in us and Arsenal yet.

I'm intrigued to see what OliVAR's instructions will be on Wednesday.

 

[argyle]

Not gloating until it's done.

We could be fucked by the ref and get a man sent off or something on Wednesday, etc.

Hope we smash 'em and shut them up.

You sure you're not getting him mixed up with Maguire..?
