Arsenal Thread - 2022/23

[Bluesince1979]

Said it in the match thread. Liverpools equaliser was exactly why we sold zinchenko.
Yep he was also in last year of his contract and seemingly wanted to go but if he was any sort of decent defender we would have ensured he stayed.
He isnt so we didnt.

Lovely lad but was always that liability

It's bad news for anyone watching their matches that a draw against us and Newcastle wins them the league, the shit house tactics they use when trying to win a game is going to be nothing compared to how they perform when the just need to not lose .

 

[woody1968]

They were 0-2 up and fell to pieces.

And they did because of a lack of intelligence, leadership and cool heads epitomised by Xhaka - could really cost them - hopefully.

I'm fairly certain that they're going to need more than 2 points to win the league.

They were 0-2 up and fell to pieces.

They didn't imo. The Scousers have relied on Teeth's Rock 'n' Roll football to trample all-comers, but this season without Mané's drive up front, they've struggled to consistently replicate the Hurculean effort they used to take for granted every match.

The difference between the two halves was The Dippers. They stepped up the pressure after the break, & they physically matched & surpassed Arsenal in the second half, so credit where credit's due.

Arsenal did enough early in the season when we were comparatively all over the place. They took advantage & are enjoying the cushion they've built.

Yes, if everything goes ABC - 123, we'll do the treble, but this is the PL, CL & FA Cup where everyone is capable of beating everyone else. This isn't over by a long chalk... )(

 

[Centurions]

They were 0-2 up and fell to pieces.

I kept waiting for the punchline from Dribble, perhaps I missed it?

Arsenal are the real deal. As Keane said to come away with a point from Anfield in a high profile match takes some doing & should be seen as a point gained, not two lost.

There's many twists & turns to come & given the choice I agree with Pep... I'd rather us have the points on the board, instead of chasing the points with games in hand.

It's still advantage Arsenal, but now we've got to show & prove what we're made of to try & bridge the divide. As things stand we can't have another loss this season.

It's gonna be fuckin tough!

It's always tough, but, no tougher than when we overhauled Liverpool a few years back.

It leaves us relying on Arsenal to drop points, whilst we have to be perfect & win every match between now & the end of the season.

This ain't gonna be easy for us. We've got Bayern on Tuesday, if we get past them after the second leg we'll probably face my CL favourites in Real. We've got Arsenal, Chelsea, a desperate Everton, & Brentford & Brighton away.

Yes we're favourites for the FA Cup semi, but it looks like if we overcome Sheffield, we'll face ManUre in a blockbuster final.

Arsenal have got one match per week & only the PL to concentrate on... It's why I think they still hold the advantage & it's City who have it all to do.

Fingers AND toes crossed... )(

No; it's in our hands - win all our games, and that includes beating Arsenal - and we win the league.
We're 6 points behind with a game in hand, and already with a superior goal difference.

 

[The blue phantom]

Next 6 games they could easily come unstuck in 3 of these, Maybe even 4

West Ham A
Southampton H
Manchester City A
Chelsea H
Newcastle A
Brighton H

FA Cup final (potentially against United) is after the League is done, so no impact. The CL games are the problem. Imagine if we have an energy sapping game like Atletico of last year.

I'm aware of that, but we've got to win all those games & hope we beat Arsenal, maintain our GD advantage, or even better still, Arsenal drop points.

They don't play until the weekend & Tuesday we've got Bayern. Personally I can't see why some are supremely confident we'll piss it.

I hope we do, but I think it's gonna be a nail-biting finish with a disappointment or two along the way.

A bird in the hand is worth 2 in the bush... Advantage Arsenal until we evaporate that advantage...

 

[the blue panther]

Bunch of fanny-wipes; this is City we're talking about and we've never been better than we are right now. We're going to win every game to the end of the season, completing a magnificent treble - including treble Premier Leagues, back-to-back.
Remember, you heard it here first.

The FA Cup semi could present a big problem too. We've got a lot to do & no room for error. This really is squeaky bum time...

No way. They were 2 up and blew it. Points dropped as far as I'm concerned. They'll bottle it next weekend against West Ham.

We'll see. I hope they do, but trust me, Arsenal are the real deal & with Zinchenko, Jesus & Arteta being there, they've three personnel who know what it takes to close out the season.

The Tarquins are no mugs.

Indeed, every time the chips are down we pull it out of the bag in the league.

At some point we will come up short just purely by the laws of average.....I don't see that happening this season.

I can only imagine the bricking it scale on the arse forums.

They'll shit themselves at the Etihad and against Brighton and Newcastle.
