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 (2 children)

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?

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

It should be Tierney but it will be Kiwior

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

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

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

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

Take Partey out and move Tomi back there..he works much better with Saka

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

I agree, then put Trossard in for Havertz around the 65th minute

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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.

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

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?

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

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

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

Another perfect last grasp tackle from Saliba.

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

Followed by Eddie sending the ball over the bar.

ONE NIL TO THE ARSENAL

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

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.

Arteta looks fucking pissed

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

Yo Mikel's hair has gotten more gray

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

The manager job taking 20 years off his life.

[–] [email protected] 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.

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

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

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

Defending like mad...but then again the entire team did good defending like mad

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

There was no fucking contact wth

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

There you go, proper Arsenal matchday.

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

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

Crystal Palace are not a bad team.

[–] [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* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Partey is a bit sloppy with his passes

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

And there goes the Saliba chant

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

Looooooooooool you're serious now?

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

WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ON

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

HOLD THE BALL

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

I absolutely hope that NBC does not put Andros Townsend on more of the games, irritating af

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

Saying the palace non-penalty was the only thing the refs got wrong made me crack up laughing

Lol really? Is that how they're going to play it?

[–] [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
