Let's pick ourselves up

[–] Astrealix 4 points 5 days ago

you know it's bad though when even Saka doesn't look much up for it.

[–] Astrealix 4 points 5 days ago

Tbh this game has been making me realise just how much White does for us. Ødegaard also obviously a big miss.

[–] Astrealix 4 points 5 days ago (1 children)

I swear, this club and the manchester blue cunts are the worst clubs in the fucking world.

[–] ironeaglebird 2 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Don't forget Chelshit.

[–] Astrealix 2 points 5 days ago

eh, they're just funny rn. Under Roman, yes; now, they're just trying to do a Leeds. Still cunts but not at "worst in the world" levels.

[–] Astrealix 4 points 5 days ago (1 children)

I miss Ødegaard.

[–] ironeaglebird 2 points 5 days ago

We don't gel the same way without him.

[–] Astrealix 4 points 5 days ago

the commentary talking about us being good at stats and still losing the title last season. brother that's cuz city bought the fucking refs man

[–] Astrealix 4 points 5 days ago

Apparently no clean sheets in 6 — I mean, to be fair, we keep having to switch up the back four. But my word we need to fix up.

[–] Astrealix 3 points 5 days ago

I think football just isn't going my way today.

and yes it is a pretty sizeable indictment to Arsenal that I've felt bored enough that I'm pulling an FM game up during the actual game.

[–] Astrealix 3 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Certainly feels like White wasn't meant to play today from his passing so far.

[–] forgrytaboutit 4 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Seems like half our team is carrying an injury. They all look like they need a 4 week vacation to recover.

[–] sensiblepuffin 3 points 5 days ago

Turns out playing 2 90s with 10 men means everyone is shattered already.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 5 days ago (1 children)

I expect Liverpool and City to win, if we lose here that's a hefty gap that I don't feel like we'll be able to close.

[–] sensiblepuffin 3 points 5 days ago (1 children)

If we lose here it's basically over. There's no way we can expect City to drop that many points. And Newcastle have been woeful this season, there's no reason not to beat them

[–] Astrealix 2 points 5 days ago (1 children)

tbf St James is always a hard game just cuz of the stadium but like. yeah no we are disappointing. And that'll be two losses in a row in the league.

[–] sensiblepuffin 2 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago) (2 children)

That's the thing, though, Newcastle have been terrible all season. So of course they revive themselves for when we come to town.

City drew here and this was a chance to finally make up some points, and we're squandering it.

Playing with 10 men has decimated our squad on top of international injuries. Both things that we really need to address in future.

aghhh so close for Rice.

[–] sensiblepuffin 3 points 5 days ago (1 children)

I am not happy with Trossard. Though to be fair none of the attackers are getting any joy.

Also, why is it that, upon winning an aerial duel, 75% of the time it just goes straight back to the opposition? Do we have shit aim?

[–] nuggsy 2 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Feels like we've had the wrong side of the green for most of this season so far.

[–] sensiblepuffin 2 points 5 days ago

And it'll continue because no one wants to admit that the league is fucked.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 5 days ago

Well that was a dog shit performance from us for the entirety of that first half. Absolutely and utterly not good enough. Our second half and the three points all depend on how brave Arteta can be. Otherwise our title hopes are looking like they're gonna slip away.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Doesn't happen too often but we're actually worse than last season.

[–] sensiblepuffin 5 points 5 days ago (1 children)

For the first stretch, red cards were the issue. Now it's the injuries. We had a lot of luck last season that we have completely lost.

[–] Astrealix 2 points 5 days ago (2 children)

yeah, this game might be the first time that I've felt like we can't win the league this season.

Newcastle kicks it out of bounds and then gets possession back

[–] ironeaglebird 3 points 5 days ago

Trossard off the bench dribbles past both defenders and gets a shot on goal.

[–] Astrealix 3 points 5 days ago

fuck.

[–] Astrealix 2 points 5 days ago

has to score that.

[–] Astrealix 2 points 5 days ago (4 children)

That was a very impressive defending run from Gordon. Kinda just shoves Jesus out of the way though, sell it more and we could have had something.

Honestly this might be the first game that I've seen from them which really makes me think Gordon deserves to start for England on the left.

Back to the dark days, where we'd have the ball around their box for 20 minutes then in 5 seconds they'd have scored via 3 passes

[–] Astrealix 2 points 5 days ago

I do appreciate that we've gone back to basics and actually having a 4-3-3 now.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 days ago (4 children)

Zinchenko and Nwaneri coming on

Hopefully we pull the reverse of what we've been doing and have a killer second half.

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

We need sweeping changes

[–] Astrealix 6 points 5 days ago (1 children)

I want Nwaneri at half-time, no one looks up for this game and there's not the creativity we need to find something. Problem is he's not exactly physically gonna be able to match up I feel.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 5 days ago

We just need him to pull a Cazorla

[–] sensiblepuffin 4 points 6 days ago (1 children)

From Mikel's press conference:

Do you have any regrets on your actions at Newcastle last year?

M: That’s part of the past and part of the situation that happened. You learn from it and you take a lot of positives as well. We moved on.

Do you think your comments worked?

M: My intention is not that the comments worked. I had to say what I felt on the day.

Have the standards of refereeing improved?

M: They are certainly trying their best.

I'm fully prepared to get fucked back to back.

we've been quite dreadful today, ngl.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 days ago

That longball for Timber shows the problems with this team. Two centre forwards on the pitch and neither playing centrally. Swap Trosaard for Nwaneri and push Havertz up
