Other EPL week 5 games 20 - 21 Sep

[Judge Jules]

Looks like Harvey joined Villa at the wrong time.

 

[Beamrider]

When you listen to that God-awful pre-game anthem, you understand why Arsenal rob all our songs, because they've got no chance of coming up with a decent one of our own.

 

[MomoWASright]

Boom

 

[Shadey]

Citeh ripped through Arsenal like butter

 

[Modo]

Boom indeed.
Get in I might add.

 

[the count]

Timber really needed to shut off the option of the pass to Haaland a la Virgil

 

[Markeh]

great touch and finish for a sasquatch

 

[zoboroboz]

Best defence you're having a laugh.

 

[KopRed]

Rooting for City because Arsenal are simply unbearable.

A few red cards and injuries for both sides will do even better.

 

[mom]

Nice counter

 

[binomial]

These teams are both absolutely fucking shite.

Don't underestimate the power of accumulated yellow cards as well. Those pay out later in December when teams are most stretched for fit and available players.

 

[Modo]

This is a grudge match for the City players after last seasons result.
They are really up for it

 

[Buddha]

Gyokeres is so hilariously out of his depth at this level.

 

[binomial]

ZzzzzzzzzzzzzZzzzzzzzzzzzZzzzz

 

[Pesam]

Gyokeres is so hilariously out of his depth at this level.

He has offered nothing. As I said a few weeks ago I expect him to score 12-15 goals against the weaker teams but he is not good enough for a team with title aspirations.

 

[keniget]

For all the money spent, Arsenal don’t really have any really great attacking talent apart from Saka.

Lots of posshibilities but yeah strange.

That's why I said that Havertz being out is a good thing and now is the time to hope that they drop points, because Gyokeres just aint it.

 

[dee]

Arsenal building

 

[Modo]

Donnarumma has been immense

 

[dee]

Donnarumma has been immense

Yepp bargain signing (although I assume his wages are equally immense)

 

[dee]

How many round the ref?

 

[Shadey]

You threw the ball at my bollox I’ll throw it at yours

Thing is, they do have another player, but for some reason arteta is terrified to play Eze either as a 10, or at LW against decent opposition.

But it's long standing his aversion to buying attacking players. He's sold a lot more strikers than he's bought. Like, a LOT

 

[Number21]

That's some proper shithousery there throwing the ball at his nuts. He got hit in the nuts before that but that was during play.

 

[KopRed]

Arsenal has decided to strengthen their squad without necessarily strengthening their first team.

Hopefully they will continue to fall short against the bigger teams.

They have net spent more than us but nobody is talking about that.

 

[Modo]

Nico O'Reilly is no joke. Big future ahead of him.

 

[zoboroboz]

It's Bernardo Silva though. It should be legal to throw anything at his balls.

 

[zoboroboz]

Nico O'Reilly is no joke. Big future ahead of him.

... but his throw-ins LOL. That's twice he's done that. Weak arms. 😀

They don't have any exceptional players. We have Van Dijk, Salah, Alisson & Isak will be added to that soon. City have Haaland, Rodri & probably their keeper now.

We used to have Mane & them De Bruyne who were both exceptional.

Arsenal have some really good players but just not at that tip top level. Their center backs are not far off & Saka needs to start scoring 30 a season to be considered exceptional.
