Arsenal (A) | Post Match Thread

Pep is managing the squad superbly at the moment. There's bewilderment by us mere mortals sometimes when he leaves KDB, Walks, Laporte, Ake out or makes a seemingly daft tactical change to accommodate different players in strange set ups.

Last night it was Bernie at left wing back(or whatever you call this position) with a back 3. He admitted it didnt work particularly well. I understand why he does it. Arsenal and Arteta would have worked on a particular set up to approach the game same as the Cup tie.
We set up differently to overload midfield not on the right, which we see with Rico-Lewis but on the left.

We were fortunate to go ahead but Saka was kept away from the box mostly and they had to work really hard to get back in it. The pen was bullshit imo but on the balance of play they deserved to be Level at half time. Their fans asking for another yellow for something that imo wasnt even a foul is a fucking joke. Nketia is decent and was found with 2 good crosses, one 1st half one 2nd but couldn't convert. Rodders was unlucky with a header which hit Akes heel and then the bar to prevent us again having the lead at half time.

Despite recognising the change hadn't really worked as planned Pep didn't change it at half time. He waited until they were wilting and then put Bernie further forward and a fresh Ake to keep Saka quiet. Martinelli did fuck all in Walkers back pocket.

Arsenal have played the same 11 most of the season when available and they looked a bit jaded 2nd half. As the season goes on this will get worse for them. Partey was a big miss for them too but he's a bit fragile and likely to pick up more injuries if they play him every 3-4 days as the schedule and Europe kick back in. Jorginio is a different type to Partey and hasn't got the legs out of posession that they needed.

Once we made the change we were all over them. They lucked out when Haaland was barely just offside and as last man preventing a goalscoring chance by decking a player why was that not a red? Previous season at the Etihad Laporte did the same to Zaha on the half way line against Palace and was sent off. We all know why.

I hope they are charged for throwing stuff at Kev as he walked off around the pitch. He just laughed it off. Fucking shower of shitbags.

Thoroughly deserved win. We're better than them and have proved it twice in quick succession. The meeting at the Etihad will hopefully be a coup de gras.

Check out this Tarquin **** who has a strange one eyed, rose tinted view of Arsenal's history of "organic growth" with no mention of Danny diamond dealers investment of 3 x Arsenal's annual turnover in one year and the acquisition of half a French World Cup winning team and forgetting the shitstorm of how they acquired Herbert Chapman or their bribing of league officials to get Arsenal into league 1 when they finished outside of the promotion spots in league 2.
His tirade of good versus evil was fucking derisable at the end. I'm glad they fucking hate us. If we beat them to the title it will make my gloating all the sweeter. Oh and fuck off and shove that banner up your arse you cockney cunts!

Arsenal mistakes blah blah blah.

They made mistakes because we pressed them relentlessly second half.
Tommy (Cafu) lol fuck off - was pressed by Jack and the back four by Kev for the first error, yes he should have put it into the stand but that's not how they play any longer. You can't have the good of a system without the bad. Like our ridiculously high line. No system is faultless.

So i'm not having it was Arsenal's mistakes that cost them the game because without the pressure they don't make any. How many other games have we seen them make those types of mistakes? Seldom because other teams don't press them. United did as well how did that go for the gooners? Just another negative angle by the shithouse media.

Tim Howard on NBC saying Arsenal should have won that game. What game was he watching?!?

Same drugs as what Arteta was on it seems.

3 goals, a disallowed penalty, one off the bar and 2 goal line clearances yet Arsenal had us where they wanted apparently and should have won the game.

Delusion is not a good luck and they are only deceiving themselves.
