October 3, 20232 yr Fucking hell. Overcooking Saka looks like it's catching up with us. He should have come off as soon as the 3rd goal went in Saturday and not been risked tonight.
October 3, 20232 yr Agree, dont know why he was playing tonight, even less so once we were up 3-0 last week. Sucks
October 3, 20232 yr The whole Raya experiment seems odd. You lock up Ramsdale to an extension then bring in someone to displace him in the next window on loan? Arteta said "form plays," and then he as to play Ramsdale against City, right? That goof from Raya was far worse than any Ramsdale made so far this season.
October 3, 20232 yr Well this match sucked. Wouldn't know who's currently third in their league table and who's just above relegation. We'd better rinse the stink off fast. Edited October 3, 20232 yr by Dutch
October 3, 20232 yr I missed all but about the last 20 minutes. We’re gonna have to figure out how to break down teams that set up defensively like that. Or maybe not concede a lead with a mistake
October 4, 20232 yr 3 hours ago, Buzzrock said: How bad is Saka? Drowning in work couldn’t see the match. I’ve seen reports from “it’s not too serious” to “it doesn’t look good.” I’d be surprised if Arteta said anything one way or the other; make City have to do some extra prep. 2 hours ago, The Maestro said: We’re gonna have to figure out how to break down teams that set up defensively like that. Or maybe not concede a lead with a mistake 100%. Much of our possession was sterile. Also… for all Zinchenko brings to our attack (and he brings a lot), he can be a liability defensively. I see why Arteta wanted Timber, and what an impact he will have. Sadly not till next year. I also think part of the disjointedness is due to not having Partey and Martinelli available. Maybe we were looking past them to City. Maybe sitting on a runway for 5 hours sapped the lads. Maybe both. Hopefully. Because City rip us to shreds if we roll that effort out on Sunday.

October 6, 20232 yr Rumors of a move for Pedro Neto in the next window seem to be gaining steam. What a signing that would be
October 8, 20232 yr No Saka worries me. Jorg really worries me. Martinelli on the bench enhopens me. No Rodri or KDB in their side. This might be our best chance v them in a while. I’m a bag of nerves Lets. Fucking. Go. 1 minute ago, Ted Lange said: NGL
October 8, 20232 yr Nervy start. Damn lucky to still be level. Is Raya really that much better than Rambo? I don’t think so.
October 8, 20232 yr Fuck Michael Oliver that sack of fuck 1 minute ago, Dutch said: ZERO reasons Raya should be starting over Rambo right now. Yep. Raya playing like a guy trying to save his job not win it now.
October 8, 20232 yr 7 minutes ago, Ted Lange said: Fuck Michael Oliver that sack of fuck Yep. Raya playing like a guy trying to save his job not win it now. If Raya starts the next match, it’s because he’s sucking Arteta’s dick. That’s nearly three he’s given them. 2 minutes ago, Ted Lange said: It’s like Arsenal are playing 2 left backs Trossard is so far back. WTF He’s covering for Zinchenko, who’s inverting heavily. Crowd are silent. Come on, Gooners.
October 8, 20232 yr Get that, but we play that way every game and there still ends up being someone on the left when we go forward. Today the left side of the final is almost always empty
October 8, 20232 yr I’m fine with a yellow there as long as it applies to both teams Speaking of yellows, with Jorginho already on one, hope we see Partey at halftime
October 8, 20232 yr 1 minute ago, Surly Bevo said: Hmmm, late, studs up, pretty cynical. Probably should be a red Likely would have, if not for the events at s^it last week.
October 8, 20232 yr And Raya looks like the keepers in my daughters u11 team: nervous and unsure what to do or where to pass it.
October 8, 20232 yr Yup. I’d expect we’ll see Martinelli or ESR in the 2H. Lots of nervous energy in the Stadium; wake up, Gooners.
October 8, 20232 yr 2 minutes ago, Dutch said: Is there a more punchable face than Foden? Fuck that guy. Gabriel with a clear F U right to it.
October 8, 20232 yr Oliver waved that second foul off so fast. Makes me think he couldn’t really see it. Maddening.
October 8, 20232 yr If I’m honest, we’re lucky to be level. Raya nearly gave away two, Rice headed one off the line, and we had no good looks at goal. They’re very, VERY lucky not to be down to 10. That was a red and a half followed by a clear yellow. I’d expect we’ll see Partey for Jorg (who has been solid but on a yellow) and Martinelli (if he’s ready) or ESR for Trossard. We’ll need to step up a few levels, because they will
October 8, 20232 yr 2 minutes ago, Buzzrock said: Oliver waved that second foul off so fast. Makes me think he couldn’t really see it. Maddening. I think it was a direct result of the refereeing shitshow at s^it last week. A 50/50 yellow VAR upgraded to a red, followed by Jota getting two iffy yellows in a short span. They didn’t want to directly impact the match as much. But still…. Two clear yellows = a red. And Oliver had best be consistent Edited October 8, 20232 yr by Dutch
