Match Thread Arsenal (a) - Sun October 27th 16:30

[tomasjj]

We don’t do half time subs. Very few games at all have half time subs

Maybe we should now? We look off

 

[dee]

Nice header from Macca off a Trent cross

 

[Modo]

Kelleher appeared to be inside his own line for that second Arsenal goal.

Looked to me like he was inside your Moms

 

[Cerberus]

Can we not just ban that fucking thing already.

 

[Donavan Ried]

Been second to everything, and being bullied by arsenal

 

[binomial]

2nd best all over the pitch, they’re sharper, faster, stronger and just better.

No changes here will change the tide of this game.

 

[Markeh]

Looked to me like he was inside your Moms

his mom? you mean workstation 12 in r&d?

 

[Mystic]

Nunez is so shit in games like this.

 

[Fabio]

Szobo on, Macca off for me; he looks well short of fitness.

 

[Accedalyday]

It was onside but Gabriel clearly fouls konate.
That is called interference ... and they do it all the time.
They are better team today but should be 1-1 at ht.

 

[Modo]

his mom? you mean workstation 12 in r&d?

Yep right in the software

 

[ibromurph]

We haven't been able to deal with their wide players, especially Saka.

He's cooking us. And because of that, we're giving away too many set pieces. Of which, we've not defended well.

 

[keniget]

Inclined to agree but one can hope I guess.

 

[Fabio]

Nunez is so shit in games like this.

Again, he's getting fuck all service.

There what was he meant to do? Gabriel has zero intention of playing the ball and was obstructing. How was Nunez to get anything?

 

[Markeh]

honestly i thought we looked nervous from the off

we need to nullify saka, i love macallister but he hasn’t had a great season or match id get him off and have a long look at robbo too.

 

[SummerOnions]

We are struggling to make any chances, but also we look weak in the wide areas.

Hard to say that we have many game changers on the bench so I hope Slot has a tactic or two up his sleeve cos otherwise we are losing

 

[ibromurph]

Might be worth considering bringing on Kostas or Gomez. Robbo has struggled badly.

Similarly, I'd like to see him swap Jones for Macca for 15mins.

And if it's not working, then bring on Szobo.

Also, Diaz has been poor. Gakpo could be the solution to dealing with Partey.

 

[Frogfish]

Ballon d'Or Trent being shite so far

And all half.

 

[SummerOnions]

I think Tsimikas would be having a worse game v Saka

 

[binomial]

Whole team need a rocket up the arse. Biggest game of the season and they’ve all turned up like scared little pups.

 

[moron]

That place where they keep having free kicks, it the same spot all the time.

The midfield is not working and that combo did not work last season, Maca needs to come off and we need some energy .. thats what Szobo provides. Diaz cant get any change out of Partey

 

[Red Bird]

Sloppy with and without the ball. These are well-paid professionals and they’re coming up short.

 

[Markeh]

I think Tsimikas would be having a worse game v Saka

yea not a massive fan of kostas but gomez has been suggested as a possibility

 

[Squiggles]

It's days like this we need eleven subs. Every outfield player is losing their individual battles. It's going to need a hell of a turn around to stand a chance of winning this.

Szobo needs to be on for a start. Maybe Gakpo through the centre can get things going, but Slot will be loath to try it. Hopefully we can get another set piece goal and go from there.

 

[Fabio]

Sloppy with and without the ball. These are well-paid professionals and they’re coming up short.

It's similar to the forest game tbh. Poor performances and a disconnect between the midfield and attack

I can't wait for Elliott to come back

 

[Farkmaster]

This isn't exactly coming out of nowhere, I was hoping we'd keep it even to the half somehow and then fix things. I'll be shocked if we overcome this.

 

[Mojo]

We're winning the 2nd half 0-2

 

[Fabio]

Gomez for Robbo worthwhile?

 

[MomoWASright]

Left back is our weakest position and needs addressing (c) MomoWASright all fucking summer.

Gakpo needs to start left side to do his best work IMHO. I'd sub him on not later than the hour mark unless we start the second half a lot better.
