Pre Match Arsenal (A) - FA Cup - Sunday 16:30

[Fabio]

He loves the bar against these

 

[darkstarexodus]

Like my joke about Darwin earlier, maybe Havertz should be at left back. But in his case it's to keep him away from scoring opportunities.

 

[Shay_K]

Unlucky Trent

 

[Fabio]

Diaz's been worse TBH.

At least I've noticed Diaz try things.

That was the first thing I've seen gakpo do

 

[darkstarexodus]

Diaz's been worse TBH.

Diaz is playing?

 

[Markeh]

You know what’s cooler than rattling the crossbar? Smashing the bottom of the crossbar and landing behind the line.

Just saying Trent

 

[binomial]

Bar his bit of skill on White, Jones has lost the ball about 5 times.

 

[Fabio]

Tbf you'd struggle to find anyone having a decent game in their half. Elliott has done alright, but thats about it

 

[binomial]

Love that Gakpo, smash him lad.

 

[KopRed]

The game's fly by.

 

[darkstarexodus]

Bar his bit of skill on White, Jones has lost the ball about 5 times.

Probably still our best player in the front six today, though.

Elliott been totally anonymous.

 

[keniget]

That was such a stupid foul by Gakpo. Poor game intelligence.

 

[KopRed]

Love that Gakpo, smash him lad.

He's been our best player.

Haivert.

 

[binomial]

Probably still our best player in the front six today, though.

No one except Ali and maybe Trent has been above average.

 

[binomial]

He's been our best player.

Haivert.

Why do you keep saying Haivert lol?

 

[KopRed]

Why do you keep saying Haivert lol?

Spellcheck's broken.

 

[Modo]

Fuck, Trent off the bar.

Good play Gakpo.

Ramsdale got a hand on it

 

[ibromurph]

Gosh.

We've been shit.

Only Alisson can hold his head up from that half.

Please get Gakpo out of the midfield.

 

[Hansern]

Not sure I'd go that far, but commentators aren't talking about the four times he's lost the ball under pressure already.

He makes the easy things look difficult which has the Arsenal fans fawning over him.
But gives the ball away to easily and makes to many mistakes when defensivt.

 

[Modo]

So, Jota anyone?

 

[Fabio]

Elliott been totally anonymous.

He's retained possession well and has provided an outlet a few times. Problem is, Nunez is crowded out and gakpo is shite, so the ball goes backwards

 

[Fabio]

So, Jota anyone?

Not yet

He's a fragile thing, so I want to avoid it until we need to

 

[ibromurph]

Swap Elliott and Gakpo.

Or put Diaz right, Gakpo left. Eliott in midfield.

 

[Fabio]

Swap Elliott and Gakpo.

It's the most common sense thing to do. Maybe even then put Nunez wide and false 9 gakpo

 

[binomial]

At this point I'd save the first teamers for Fulham and get the kids on.

Bradley Nyoni and Mcconnell on.

This.

We need him on the pitch to score but too early as yet.

 

[darkstarexodus]

100% this.

Gakpo playing midfield is on Klopp unfortunately.

He's the one seeing things in his game to warrant selecting him there.

 

[KopRed]

Many of their chances were from us shitting possessions. We need to be more secure with the ball.

On another day we could be a few goals down.
