Arsenal (H) | PL | Post-match Thread

[Gazza]

Arsenal are a decent team but it's the addition of the dark arts that gets them points in the big games.

 

[Main Stand Hotdog]

Fuck off that was fucking embarrassing from Arsenal. Fuck off with the 'defended well' bollocks. Klopps Liverpool would have still come after us on ten men. They're mental midgets, with embarrassing tactics.

The Gabriel goal is what I’m most upset about in that match.
Their first was a one in a hundred shot.
Their set pieces are hardly a surprise though. Two blocking the keeper and Gabriel stealing into the six yard area is standard.

Look at the way their keeper just plucks our corners out of the air unchallenged. The difference is stark.

Said same. Can we just improve or even practice bloody set pieces.... today was an anomaly.

Haha lovely

The worrying thing is everyone knew this, and we didn't prepare marking Gabriel better or putting in crosses away from Raya.

Bollocks! Walker wasn't at the races not Pep!

Pep's decision to start Walker.

Pretty disspointed with that result ,was more than sure that city will win it after we went 1:0 up...still 1 point is better than 0 and next weekend should get back to winning ways.

Calafiori’s goal - disaster, no comments.

We need more creativity and unpredictability against deep block.

This basic, safe game would not help us.

I told we need one more striker, the club did nothing.

The result is not the worst, but City is guilty of that draw.

Nothing to do with the lack of another striker imo. All to do with us not getting crosses in from the end line and not driving into the box so we get fouled. Playing it about for a CB to shoot was silly.

 

[blueandwhite]

Very poor from Pep once again. We weren't at the races today.

Dick!

 

[madloaf]

Roy Keane only one talking sense here. Shocker

TBH - As a person he's the biggest ****, and as a pundit he talks more sense than anyone.

 

[At-Swim-Two-Birds]

Love Boulders. Done with Micah Richards.

 

[Gaylord du Bois]

Fucking brilliant.
World class shithousery.

 

[coolcity]

Was about to say SKY aren't been very even with two arsenal players v Micah, then Roy Keane pipes up that both teams were poor!

Yes well he thinks Haaland is a div. 2 player so that's no surprise. I don't watch the post-match any more.

 

[Cheadle_hulmeBlue]

I think pep got his selection wrong. Lewis, grealish and foden should have started.

Walker didn’t deserve a start and was picked solely because of pace.

That was solely on OliVAR. Firstly, he called Walker over to speak to him, then he allowed them to take a free kick 10 yds further forward before he'd allowed Walker to get back in position. Yes Walker could have been a bit quicker getting back into position, but he wasn't to know OliVAR would let them take the free kick from the wrong place.

 

[Stoned Rose]

Brilliant ending. But let's not pretend that was good enough.

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

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

 

[Keeper!]

Fucking brilliant.

worth another 100k a week for that

 

[Jonas.shaffer]

We were poor in that 2nd half. Very poor imo.

They defended brilliantly, to be fair.
