Arsenal are brilliant at set pieces, but won't make many friends with the amount of time it takes to actually take them

I hadn't noticed until Martin Keown referenced this deliberate tactic whilst commentating at their CL game in Porto last season, but if a corner gets headed out for another corner the ball is literally out of play for 2 minutes.

The match officials never seem to include it when calculating the added time, especially today when only 5 minutes were given (despite it taking almost 3 minutes from Saka's "winning" goal to it being disallowed)

Highlighted most at Spurs earlier in the season. They got a corner after 40 seconds of the game and it wasn’t taken until the 2 minute mark.

Boring.

It must be that game.

I was trying to remember which game it was when Saka took ages to take an early corner and then it was headed out for another corner

I recall shouting FOR FUCKS SAKE! but I'd forgotten who they were playing.
 
I hate being right about coneboy, yet the artetasexuals wont listen to anything that will interrupt their circlejerk over their fraud manager.

Arsenal are finishing 4th highest max, although it would be hilarious if villa and forest finish above us.

Coneboy please hand in your resignation tonight and go back to your level laying out cones for the getafe manager.

I fell out of love for arsenal the way coneboy handled the ozil and the other contract terminations of the players at the time.

The handling of auba was disgusting and was the last straw with coneboy. His consistent failure to win trophies and not getting sacked for it further infuriates me with this club.

Ozil had all the talent in the world but none of the application and Auba was taking the piss with his attitude around training and setting a bad example. These players hardly flourished after they left.

When you're up against Pep and Klopp, the most common outcome is not winning trophies but nobody can say Arteta hasn't transformed the club. Whether we win something or not let's see but we were a soft touch before he joined. Today, nobody will want to pull Arsenal out of the hat in a cup competition, even the very top sides will want to avoid us. Pep won't fancy an FA cup tie at the Emirates, that much is for sure.

Anyway as if Arsenal weren't unlikeable enough to supporters of other clubs, it seems Elon Musk is sniffing around the club with a view to a possible takeover/investment.

At the end of the day, managers like Wenger and Pep have changed football for the better. What does everyone think Capt Black’s legacy will be when everyone copies his tactics?

Players feigning injury to waste time and for tactical coaching advice. Spending fortunes to bottle the league. Whinging like fck.
 
Monaco lost because they are ordinary however 1st team this season that figured out how to nullify Arsenal at corners. They kept 3 men right on the halfway line for Arsenal corners meaning Arsenal needed to put 4 against them to prevent the counter. Meant less big defenders to stick in the box and cause mayhem and made it easy for the Monaco keeper to come out and claim the ball- int he end Arsenal resorted to using short corners and just restarting play.

We are a miles better team since Aubamayang played for us. How can that be an issue with Arteta?

Are you a Pierre fanboy? Many of the fanbase who use words like 'blud' and 'mandem' are obsessed with Aubamayang. 'Pierre! he gon and do tha mad ting'
 
Surely our world class coaches can learn from Monaco? When we play them at the Emirates, if Arsenal get a corner - Savinho and Doku wide on the halfway line with Bernie central 10 yards in our half - job done. Less bodies in the box to block and cause mayhem and Arsenal will need to have 4 players back to prevent a quick break away when Eddie has a clear run to catch the ball and start a quick break. Mind at the moment we’d probably pass it back…..

When Monaco did this. We took the short corner and attacked a lightly guarded box.

Pick your poison

Surely our world-class referees can stop them obstructing the keeper? Job done.
