[–] Astrealix@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago (2 children)

I rate Madueke but he's just not saka is he

[–] MHPengwingz@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

He really is the only one trying to play today unfortunately

[–] sabreW4K3@lazysoci.al 2 points 2 months ago (2 children)

He's been one of the few positives

[–] MHPengwingz@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

Bernardo being a cunt and getting away with it.

[–] Astrealix@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

finally Donnarumma's been carded, should've been carded half an hour ago at least for all the stalling that ass's been doing

[–] Astrealix@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

This is an automated comment, please contact ulrikhd@programming.dev if there's an issue.

[–] Astrealix@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

ref just doing nothing already

[–] Astrealix@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

[–] Astrealix@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

arsenal mens please give me something, i might fall asleep with how the first game went

Fodens new haircut is a million times better than his old one

[–] Astrealix@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

ref that's a clear pen on Gabriel

[–] Astrealix@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

ok so both hands shoving to the back of a player is legal now ig

[–] MHPengwingz@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

We are sluggish 😑

[–] MHPengwingz@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

God the only one who looks up for it is Noni

[–] Astrealix@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Rice's been alright besides their goal, Merino's had moments too imo

[–] sabreW4K3@lazysoci.al 2 points 2 months ago

I agree Rice looks decent. The match sharpness is clearly missing from Saliba. No one else has an excuse.

[–] Astrealix@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

need to step everyone up a notch if we want to win this game though

[–] MHPengwingz@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

Also shut the fuck up Graeme LeSaux

[–] sabreW4K3@lazysoci.al 1 points 2 months ago

I'm yet to see this midfield work and yet Arteta keeps insisting on it.

Take off Merino and Trossard.

[–] Astrealix@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

kinda hoping all the people talking about how mid trossard's been (and he really has been) will make him score out of nowhere like he always does when people complain about him somehow lol
