Arsenal (A) - PL Post Match Thread

[Username Required]

We won two games away from home against the top 10 in the league last season and one was just a pure arsenal bottle and one win in the cl away from home all last season.

Ooof!

Ake should have buried his 1st half chance. those kind of chances rarely missed against us in PL.

Aye. Should have hit it on the low volley. Dropped lovely for him.

So still not answered… im fully aware the ref blew to give us a free kick (was at the game) and disallow our goal because thats to our advantage apparently. But would like to see it back as was at the game and been removed from all highlights for some reason

If he didn't blow for the original foul he'd have blown for Rico's hand ball, when he went down.

99 times out of 100 we come away with a good point after never being under any pressure. It was actually not a bad performance would rodri have made a difference? Not that big of a difference imo we still would have played the same way. What I will say the way the arsenal team and staff fans celebrated after the win will only give our players extra motivation for the rest of the season.

I thought it was pretty poor offensively to be honest. We gave these twats a good hiding last season yet this was a timid, insipid show lacking creativity. We looked like we were playing for a draw which is not like us at all. It just felt all wrong for me and Arsenal were as average as us.

I agree on the offensive take and that was my first thought coming out of the ground yesterday. But after getting over the disappointment I get to the thought our attack was blunted by a very defensive arsenal team. I would prefer us to be on the offensive home and away but would it have been wise to go all out at arsenal yesterday and let them hit us on the counter?? We had enough attacking players on the pitch the game was always gonna be won by a moment of magic or luck which unfortunately went against us.

What a fucking twat he refused to shake their hands last season after the home and away lose and he wants to shake their hands after winning . Thank God he followed his fellow twat to arsenal

POS...simple as...

People behave very differently when they win. Last season Zinchenko didn’t acknowledge us after we beat them; yesterday after they won he came and gave us a big round of applause. Grapes can be very sour

Fuck him too...and that whiney punk Jesus, bitching to the Brazilian press about Pep like a little **** last Winter when he thought they had the upper hand. They claim to be contenders yet they celebrate a one goal win in October off a fluke deflection like they've won the Prem, CL, and WC all at once...it's funny and sad. They want to pass themselves off as some sort of title contenders and direct rivals to us when the reality is they've yet to win dick and are just another squad hoping for a miracle. We blew by them while seeing off Bayern and Real Madrid like a part time job. Don't get me wrong but as much as I despise the Rags and the Dippers these Arse fans are taking some of the joy out of the Prem for me. They talk shit relentlessly without any accountability when they choke...they don't have an ounce of respect. NEVER been champions of Europe. Haven't won a league title in 2 decades. The ultimate definition of front runners. I'll go on record right now they'll be lucky to get 4 points from the 18 available to them v. us, Liverpool, Newcastle, Spurs, United, and Chelsea. Yes, that's right United and Chelsea. I expect like a 1-4-1 record from those 6 games for them...bookmark it or whatever it is that's done to hold me to account...

It seems teams are getting better at doing this. We don’t have that moment of magic without De Bruyne. For me, at this early stage of the season, we should absolutely be going for it. We have to find a way to get Haaland more involved and if that involves taking risks then so be it. If we set up like that against the rags in a couple of weeks, I will be extremely annoyed.

Me too I'd only expect us to set up like that against title rivals.

Hopefully. We have a very big few weeks coming up after the break. We really need to ramp it up a bit and players like Grealish/Foden/Bernado really need to step up as we can’t expect new players like Nunes/Docu to be perfect at this stage.

Game was crying out for a 4-5-1 tactical change. Less possession, more counter-attack and weathering storms in defence. Without Rodri, midfield is lightweight
