And we’re off to the races! Easy tap-in by Kai. Let’s make the most of that 92% possession and bang in several more! 🙏
KAI’S OUR GUY
Santi’s apparently gonna be at the game. :D
Omari Hutchinson? Alright we have to fucking destroy them.
This is what happens when people complain that Odegaard doesn’t take enough shots. Now he’s just firing at will and they’re nowhere near on target.
so stupid that we don’t just all play on boxing day tbh
Half our bench can play fullback btw XD
Their entire gameplan seems to be “have a go at the kid, maybe that’ll get us a goal”
Also, I’m a little surprised that Merino didn’t start, given that we knew this was going to be a physical matchup
WAKA WAKAAAAAA
I was just typing that we were playing well and needed to open them up with a goal
We need to have a serious discusison about how fouls are judged for us vs against us.
It’s interesting how our attack is still so right-dominated despite no Saka.
1-0 to the Arsenal. Never going to think about this game ever again.
I’ve seen that given as a penalty before ngl
goal of the season if that went in
