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

[Fabio]

I'm confused why Jones isn't playing the same area as last week, he needs to hemp robbo with Saka.

I get it, but Palmer was a lot deeper than saka would be. Harder to mark him out the game tbh

 

[Fabio]

Mo needed to lay that off quicker. He's learning from Jones

 

[Shay_K]

Monster Konate

 

[Markeh]

More likely Gomez to guard against him cutting in.

yea probably a better idea although i kind of felt like gomez has been drifting out of the managers thinking

 

[Judge Jules]

well played merino, his own player made contact with him. good luck getting that penalty

Bet they think highly of Merino in Wales.

 

[Cerberus]

Martinelli was just like nah not fucking with him.

 

[Judge Jules]

Too close for comfort, that.

 

[Markeh]

Bet they think highly of Merino in Wales.

this is a sheep shagging joke isn’t it?

 

[Fabio]

Bit sloppy for ibou, but then did well to recover

 

[Shay_K]

You know your sheep 🐑

 

[Markeh]

do we just ignore the ball hitting martinellis arm gary?

 

[Judge Jules]

Way to ram the point home. 🙂

 

[binomial]

This game is brutal.

 

[keniget]

That was awful by Konate.

 

[binomial]

Mac can really be shit sometimes

 

[Markeh]

yea macallister isn’t playing 90 today

 

[Squiggles]

Saka is on it. No rustiness at all. We're struggling.

 

[Shay_K]

Way to ram the point home. 🙂

Ovine distraction.

 

[Judge Jules]

Ewe've got a point.

 

[rurikbird]

Have to say, Arsenal are the most closely matched team to us in terms of playing style from every team we’ve faced so far. Both teams are trying to hurt each other in similar way, getting the ball to their quick wingers to isolate against full-backs and to guard against being open in transition by alternately keeping possession safely or dropping all the way deep as a team. It’s like 2 kung-fu masters from those Hong Kong flicks who both fight using the same style.

 

[Mystic]

Playing poorly now, Salah and Nunez are an irrelevance this game.

 

[Shay_K]

0 midfield control

 

[Judge Jules]

Got to agree. It was good to get back at them so quickly but it doesn't seem to have slowed the Arse down.

 

[Markeh]

haha imagine getting hit in the face with a cross

 

[Markeh]

diaz is going to be dangerous if we can just carve some opportunities out for him

 

[rurikbird]

Bet they think highly of Merino in Wales.

It just means he’s a bit of a wool.

 

[Fabio]

Think it's impacted by the midfield just being shite. No control at all.

Half tempted to be bringing szob on tbh

 

[Cerberus]

To be fair to Nunez he's getting back and being a nuisance. If we had more control in midfield he wouldn't have to be back there.

 

[Shay_K]

Excellent from Darwin

 

[Markeh]

quick seal up the exits, we have a sniper in the stadium
