SAKA JUST FIRST TIME IT MAN

[–] [email protected] 3 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

Shoulda made Jorgi hit his head on the way down

[–] [email protected] 3 points 8 hours ago

for legal reasons this is a joke

[–] [email protected] 3 points 8 hours ago

Saka is good enough to score that if he hits it first time, just a bad decision there

[–] [email protected] 3 points 8 hours ago

eyyy we've got a proper striker on now

[–] [email protected] 3 points 8 hours ago

Fuck, I could see that goal coming a mile away. That was shit defending for their fullback's overlap.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

find it hard to celebrate that one, ngl

[–] [email protected] 3 points 8 hours ago

We can celebrate Raya's quick thinking, and Rice's run and pass.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

Of course VAR wasn't going to intervene, but I don't understand how that tackle from behind wasn't a red.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

Yeah, that was dodgy as fuck. High tackle going across Gabi's knee, and completely missed the ball.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 9 hours ago

The PGMOL would love it if we had another season-ending injury today, the cunts.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 8 hours ago

AHAHAHAHA I hate this world sometimes

[–] [email protected] 2 points 8 hours ago
[–] [email protected] 3 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

You're telling me I'm missing the first half to grab lunch just cuz I was hungry and then Tierney fucking scores???

ah shit it just got disallowed as I typed this up

[–] [email protected] 4 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

Yeah, it was a great headed finish from him. But he was definitely offside, unfortunately.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 9 hours ago

Semi-automated offside, no less. How much faster was the check?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 9 hours ago* (last edited 9 hours ago)

~~KIERAN~~

:<

[–] [email protected] 2 points 8 hours ago* (last edited 8 hours ago)

Perfect goal timing right before those mass substitutions.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 8 hours ago

no tierney goal :(

[–] [email protected] 2 points 8 hours ago* (last edited 8 hours ago)

With these pants, Raya looks like he's just some bloke they picked off the street wearing a fan's kit, lol. The black pants look weird with the yellow shirt.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 9 hours ago

I blame the pigeon for that not going in /j

[–] [email protected] 2 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

Good block by Ajer that, dangit

[–] [email protected] 3 points 9 hours ago

Yeah, it was. Gabi had trouble controlling the pad because it was a tricky ball. So that bought him an extra second. But that kind of a block is easy to get wrong, and he nailed it.

Arsenal [1] - 0 Brentford - K. Tierney 26'

[–] [email protected] 2 points 10 hours ago

We are all over the place. Not a big surprise given this unusual line-up. But still, I'm getting an uneasy feeling.

Arsenal 1 - [1] Brentford - Y. Wissa 74'

Arsenal [1] - 0 Brentford - T. Partey 61'

[–] [email protected] 1 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

We like goals. Wonder if that'll change the subs?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 8 hours ago (1 children)
[–] [email protected] 1 points 8 hours ago

As long as they don't get hurt, the extra game time might be beneficial. Knocks on wood

[–] [email protected] 1 points 9 hours ago

I can't believe I'm saying this, but we should sub Merino on.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 9 hours ago

Zinchenko is catastrophic

[–] [email protected] 1 points 9 hours ago

Yeesh Zinny is slow AND weak

[–] [email protected] 1 points 9 hours ago

That pigeon saw its life flash before its eyes with Leo's shirt.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 9 hours ago

We need to get the ball out to Nwaneri more, so he can inside on the right. On the left, Gabi needs more support from Tierney on his outside. He's being pushed out to the edge too close to the goal line, which isn't where he really thrives.

Also, these attempts to take the ball to the goal line and low-cross it in aren't working because Brentford's defense is too organized. They look a little more vulnerable to t our diagonal passes into the area.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 hours ago

I don't even know how to feel about PL matches anymore

[–] [email protected] 1 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

Great save from Raya.

Tierney is really off the mark today. His awareness is mediocre and his passing has been not been good. Hopefully he can pick up the pace.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

Surely that wasn't Tierney's fault? Wasn't it Jorginho that couldn't get back in time to cover?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

There have been several stray passes from him so far.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 9 hours ago

The passing has been pretty bad yeah

[–] [email protected] 1 points 9 hours ago

PL is basically the Carabao cup anyway

[–] [email protected] 1 points 9 hours ago

We'll that corner didn't work! Haha. Disappointing as I wanted to see what kind of a ball into the area Nwaneri could deliver.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 hours ago

This lineup is levels of IDGAF 😏
