Arsenal (H) | PL | Post-match Thread

[Platt Lane veteran]

I tell you what, 10 men or not 10 men, if my team played like them cheating cunts, I’d be absolutely furious with them. Arteta has them playing like prime Wimbledon.

Shit 2nd half performance but we rescued a point, the Gooners will be gutted ha

Screaming for him to move to Dias position. He can shoot and so him and Foden as the threat would
Means they have to close down leaving gaps. As it is they kept letting akanji and Dias have it and we kept doing the same tired ritual

I know the players adhere to Pep’s instructions but sometimes, they have to take the initiative. Foden has done that on a number of occasions but I’ll put it down to not being fully in the groove yet. There are a few times where a first time shot would’ve been ideal.

Gvardiol is one of the dangerous attacking threats in the team. In situations like today, should be the one trying to smash them as he had Raya sweating.

We’ve learnt a few lessons there, in that it’s hard to play against anti-football dirty cheats.

We always try and play with integrity. This Arsenal team is the opposite.

Someone please check on @Eccles Blue - she won’t be seen for a week after that Stonesy goal!

Totally agree. I know a lot will criticise the performance but when you're up against that... not just the first half but the deliberate block on Rodri after 2 seconds, and the knock that got him injured, dragging Edi down for the second goal and so on;snide little dirty fouls that are hard to spot. They obviously know how inept Oliver is and played to it. That might scrape you through the odd tricky tie, but it will never win you a title.

 

[yeah whatever !!]

The fuck is wrong with the Nancies on here.. with 5 mins to go we were 4th now we are top.. fuck off.

absurd tactics from us 2nd half. slow, sideways, and carefully making sure all long shots are front of Walker and Dias strictly them being our worst long shot takers.

why not Nunes, Mcatee, Grealish much sooner. Gvardiol easily better in shooting than Dias, how comes Dias tried 5-6 times and one shot was worse than the next.


ths was a winnable game after the red card, but just got a draw 98th minute.

shocking that they did not even think to give away a freekick close to their box because they were happy with us not trying to go into the box just slow passing between Aknji, dias, Kova, thats all we did. they didnt need to give away a freekick as we were no danger to get into the box.

Grealish, Foden and even Nunes, McAtee needed to come much sooner if they are there to take some of the long shots Walker, Dias fucked up it might be different game. were we scared of any counter from their own box that we kept Akanji, Gvardiol, Walker, Dias up? if yes it cost us the win probably.

but even Gundo not coming deep for a long shot just trying to receive something in the box that was never arriving.

Grealish did well with beating his man and earn a corner, then also with the short corner fter that that led to the goal.

same 1 point as last season in this fixture, not happy about that, as they had 24 hours less to prepare for this game and played away in CL and also played 45mins with 10 men.
annd we also lost Rodri?

not much for me to celebrate. at least 2 points less for them in the last minute, but we really should have done more and better in 2nd half. Arteta wanted all our shots to be taken by Dias our worst shooter and we did that.

 

[hilts]

Started very well.then an injury and Kyle happened..Special mention to Ederson the brave.

Thank god we grabbed a draw. Fingers crossed for Rodri but it didn't look good.

 

[Wellsblue21]

Haaland at the end

 

[I'm With Stupid]

It was horrendous. Let’s do the same thing 8 million times.

Having said that, in the end, it fucking worked :)

It didn't work. We should be winning that. Getting a draw after being 2-1 down might be a result against 11. Against 10, we should be beating them.
