What the actual fuck is that red card
That is some fucking BULLSHIT. HOWWWWW???
Fucking infuriating cannot be overturned because it’s a yellow. Fuck that
That is not a foul. Holy fuck was that a bad call.
I would like to see Zinchenko and Trossard come on… This experiment isn’t quite working
100%, players need to return to their usual positions.
Take Partey out and move Tomi back there…he works much better with Saka
I agree, then put Trossard in for Havertz around the 65th minute
So, that’s 3 left back options that are unavailable for the next PL match (interestingly, none of them are really left backs).
- Zinchenko: short-term injury
- Timber: long-term injury
- Tomiyasu: suspension
I wonder who option #4 is? Probably Kiwior, even though he also isn’t a left back?
It should be Tierney but it will be Kiwior
Zinchenko will play next match and kiwior will come in to give him a rest probably. Still don’t know why arteta hates tierney
That wasn’t even a foul + Ayew actually has made two yellow card fouls and is still on the pitch.
It was a foul but not worthy of a yellow imo
I don’t want to overreact, but Zinchenko came on and we basically started controlling the game, even with 10 men
Now if only Zinchenko could stay healthy. We’re a different team when he’s on.
Honestly if we could just find ways to cope for a few games while we give Zinchenko and Partey a break, we could be cooking
Roy Hodgson seems like a good sport.
Another perfect last grasp tackle from Saliba.
Followed by Eddie sending the ball over the bar.
Eddie gotta stop doing this to us lmao
He’s so good.
Oh wow, look at that! What a promising counter, if not for Eddie being fouled. I wonder if there’s something that we could do to discourage players from doing that?
And now Eddie got kicked in his ribs lol
Sums up the Eddie Nketiah experience
What a bullshit second yellow card. Ref has lost his fucking mind.
I just want a comfortable win. Hopefully the upcoming weekend but I’ll settle for it being the United game.
Partey man, I’m telling you. He’s itching to give the ball away.
Arteta looks fucking pissed
He only has himself to blame
I don’t get why we are playing with partey in defense and tomiyasu on his weaker side.
I get zinchenko is just coming back from injury but Tierney can’t even make the bench? Put partey in with rice and have havertz come in off the bench if needed.
We don’t look very fluid right now and having partey cleaning up in the midfield behind rice and odegaard would be really useful
