What the actual fuck is that red card

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

That is some fucking BULLSHIT. HOWWWWW!????!?!?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

Fucking infuriating cannot be overturned because it's a yellow. Fuck that

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago

That is not a foul. Holy fuck was that a bad call.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago (3 children)

I would like to see Zinchenko and Trossard come on... This experiment isn't quite working

I don't want to overreact, but Zinchenko came on and we basically started controlling the game, even with 10 men

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Now if only Zinchenko could stay healthy. We're a different team when he's on.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Honestly if we could just find ways to cope for a few games while we give Zinchenko and Partey a break, we could be cooking

So, that's 3 left back options that are unavailable for the next PL match (interestingly, none of them are really left backs).

  • Zinchenko: short-term injury
  • Timber: long-term injury
  • Tomiyasu: suspension

I wonder who option #4 is? Probably Kiwior, even though he also isn't a left back?

That wasn’t even a foul + Ayew actually has made two yellow card fouls and is still on the pitch.

What a bullshit second yellow card. Ref has lost his fucking mind.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I just want a comfortable win. Hopefully the upcoming weekend but I'll settle for it being the United game.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

Roy Hodgson seems like a good sport.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Oh wow, look at that! What a promising counter, if not for Eddie being fouled. I wonder if there's something that we could do to discourage players from doing that?

Another perfect last grasp tackle from Saliba.

I don't get why we are playing with partey in defense and tomiyasu on his weaker side.

I get zinchenko is just coming back from injury but Tierney can't even make the bench? Put partey in with rice and have havertz come in off the bench if needed.

We don't look very fluid right now and having partey cleaning up in the midfield behind rice and odegaard would be really useful

ONE NIL TO THE ARSENAL

[–] merc 4 points 1 year ago (2 children)

So, Arsenal effectively finished the game with 3 CBs, 4 CMs a winger, and a ?Forward? (Havertz)

  • CB: Gabriel, Saliba, Kiwior
  • CM: Partey, Rice, Jorginho, Zinchenko
  • Saka, Havertz

Interesting for a team that wasn't playing a 3-at-the-back formation at any point.

Arteta looks fucking pissed

There was no fucking contact wth

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I'm very curious to hear what Arteta has to say about the anti-time-wasting stuff they've implemented.

So they're still not punishing goalkeepers for taking five years to take a goal kick?

Yo Mikel's hair has gotten more gray

Oh thank god we held on.

Mikel, pleaaaase do not try anything new Saturday. We were very lucky CP don't have any finishers.

I'm very ticked off about Tomiyasu's two yellows.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Party looks uncomfortable in that right corner.

Rice lose a contact lense? I never consider footballers have them.

Love seeing Declan and Tomi shouting instructions on the pitch...

And there goes the Saliba chant

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Feel like this one of these games where we need to shut this game down quick...Palace is definitely waiting for a mistake

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Dear Lord, what a tackle

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Looooooooooool you're serious now?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

HOLY FUCK IT'S HAPPENING

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

It's kind of funny to watch defenders dance along while marking Martin, and then stumble because they can't keep up

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Crystal Palace are not a bad team.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

On a non-sarcastic note, I don't like how tired we look. Should be safe to assume we'll make at least two more fresh legs subs

I don't know why Arteta doesn't make some changes at the hour mark. Trossard for Nketiah, even Gabriel for Tommy.

You get some fresh legs up top, and a solid defense.

Tangent: Holy shit we're lucky.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Because you don't make changes when things are looking like the 2nd goal is around the corner and no one is struggling

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

He's a Pep disciple

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

All 11 of our players in defense.
