Arsenal Thread - 2022/23

Zinchenko plays the inverted full back role that Arteta wants from his full back. Tierney just can't play that role anywhere near as good.

You just need to accept if your playing that system your left back won't be a great defender and will get done 1 on 1 on occasion.



I agree. Probably done us more harm than Liverpool to be honest. Hopefully with less traumatic experiences that will not be needed lol.

Fair enough but I see a fully fit Tierney one of the best left backs in the league.

We should have a team of stretcher-bearers on stand-by ready to sprint on the second an Arsenal player hits the deck. Load the fucker on it and run off before anyone realises what's happening.

It's funny, as elsewhere on T'intenet people are saying Lego Pep learned some of the dark arts well from his master, such as the tactical fouling. Each fanbase sees what they want to see I suppose.

I agree yesterday it looked like we took it to new levels, and it wasn't great to see. I think it's the PTSD from many Anfield hidings. We suffer the same PTSD at The Etihad.

Can safely say we never have players feign an injury to effectively call a timeout so we can regroup. Never seen anything like it and you need to be called out on it.

Laughed my head off at this one as it was exactly the time Liverpool were really turning the screw and a few lads in the pub said, it’s a matter of minutes before one of your lot hit the deck… low and behold, Gabriel getting his skull caved in heading a ball clear only to miraculously regenerate and finish the game.

Feigning a head injury is really low as everyone knows the protocols around it will cause a significant stoppage. I think the player who is on the receiving end of it should be taken out the game for ten minutes to be assessed. We’d then see how many players do it.

When is a point gained or two points lost?

Simple:

It's a point gained when coming back from behind.
It's two points lost when you were ahead.

True but they could have very, very easily lost it outright. Which would have been much worse to take psychologically.

 

[TonyColemansbagofapples]

Every team team starts with a point. If you lose, you drop a point. If you win, you gain two points. Even more simple.

 

[TonyColemansbagofapples]

Feigning head injuries sets a dangerous precedent. Anyone with a head injury should be substituted immediately and a concussion sub used. Once teams start using up all their subs or losing key players then, miraculously, it will stop.

Hard to argue with it. I've seen plenty of players use a 'head knock' to their advantage to get play stopped, especially in dangerous situations. Perhaps you are right, a period off the pitch for assessment might put a stop to it, could also punish teams who's players have had a genuine knock, but I suppose players welfare should be most important, especially with all the links to early on set of Dementia in footballers.

Stupid rule, just get them off the pitch at the closest line. It would soon stop.

That's not what they said. They said that the mentality is bizarre. Which it is. You were 2-0 up and cruising against a piss poor Liverpool team who looked half-arsed for about 40 minutes. That game should have ended up 3, 4 or 5 nil, you were that dominant. But Xhaka did what Xhaka does and you lost the upper hand and weren't good enough or composed enough to even look like winning it back. If City had done that I'd be gutted and wouldn't be able to see it any other way than 2 points dropped. And I think the vast majority of City fans would see it the same way.

Spot on. But before the game i'd say a lot of Arsenal fans would have taken a point there. We lost there again this season! The manner in which it happened though must be gutting.

Arsenal have taken this to unprecedented levels it seems, not just at Anfield. Takes the shine off the very good team Arsenal have become. Im so glad Ramsdale got booked, this childish attitude to trying to put penalty takers off is embarrasing. Again new levels of acting like d*cks. Your better than that

 

[Tolmie scores]

There’s a fair amount of disrespect towards them on here too mate, each fanbase just confident I suppose.

I think a lot of us know that there will be points dropped in the run in aside from when we play each other. Brighton for me will be incredibly difficult to win for one, leeds bounce back, happened before. Chelsk..never an easy win even with fat Fwank in post. Im sure a lot of Arse are thinking Newcastle will be as tough as liverpool

 

[ysmsa]

If Ramsdale stays at arsenal a long time and has his own statue outside the emirates I assume it’ll be a statue of him sitting down. Embarrassing cheating ****. Typical arsenal

Ha ha,

It will never get made.

First time the sculptor takes his hammer and chisel to the head area it will crumble to the ground:-)

Dear all,

I’ve decided to take a break from posting on this forum. Should you win the title, I’ll come back on to congratulate you. Should we win it, I’ll wait until next season after watching us hopefully regain the Ashes. In the meantime, fare well and prosper.

Arsenal have never won the Ashes. :-)

 

[Gorton_Tubster]

Tbh I knew taking advantage of head injuries would be exploited by some. I didn't think it would be Arteta though. What a twat.

That's there to protect players from serious injury. It's quite shit.

[the blue panther]

To the tune of "Ernie":-

You could hear the groaning sound
Ripple all around the crowd
And the scurrying of boots as his
Fat arse hit the ground
Then watch him rub his eyes as
Team mates hurried-off to converse
His name was Ramsdale, and as
Cheats go, he was just about the worst.

I thangyou!

I was really really worried about his wellbeing at this stage. Could have been killed
