What the actual fuck is that red card

[–] TheBig2023Meltdown 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

[–] TheBig2023Meltdown 4 points 1 year ago

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

[–] Gingerrific 7 points 1 year ago

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

[–] MHPengwingz 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

[–] coygsu 2 points 1 year ago (2 children)

100%, players need to return to their usual positions.

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

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?

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

[–] ironeaglebird 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

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

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

[–] ironeaglebird 5 points 1 year ago

Roy Hodgson seems like a good sport.

Arteta looks fucking pissed

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

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

Partey man, I'm telling you. He's itching to give the ball away.

[–] [email protected] 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.

ONE NIL TO THE ARSENAL

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

There you go, proper Arsenal matchday.

[–] sensiblepuffin 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?

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

Partey did well after the red card

Dear Lord, what a tackle

[–] Arsenal4ever 3 points 1 year ago

Crystal Palace are not a bad team.

[–] MHPengwingz 3 points 1 year ago

There was no fucking contact wth

Yo Mikel's hair has gotten more gray

[–] MHPengwingz 3 points 1 year ago

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.

[–] Gingerrific 2 points 1 year ago

Sorry work, its going to be a slow afternoon for me. Not surprised to see the same line up, and hopefully we continue to build on out season with another win.

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

Prepare for prime Hodgsonball from Palace

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

Partey is a bit sloppy with his passes

[–] MHPengwingz 2 points 1 year ago

Agree... He's just getting pushed around as well

[–] MHPengwingz 2 points 1 year ago

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

And there goes the Saliba chant

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

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

Oh fuck....

[–] MHPengwingz 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 (2 children)

We do something from a set piece? How on earth!
