Arsenal 1-2 Wolves: Verdict Thread

[Boozad]

What I don't get is this. I've played hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of games at semi-pro and amateur level.

Not once have I ever had my hand actually IN someone else's mouth, or seen someone else do it. I've seen a few smacks in the mouth but that's a bit different.

That looks so bizarre to me, the fuck is he doing?

It is bizarre, couldn't quite believe what I was seeing when I first saw the picture.

Some doing to be simultaneously out of control but still have the deft touch you finger someone's mouth at the same time.

 

[Tredman]

Or you are so out of control you have no idea where any part of your body is actually going.

Mo Camara Syndrome.

Mo Camara Syndrome.

I was thinking more close to home...

 

[Tredman]

Wonder what Arsenal's problem was:

 

[MARKakaJIM]

Bellerin their second highest player up the pitch on average and their two centre midfielders looking more like sweeper and right back?

The timescales seem a bit weird on those maps though and not even the same for both sides, where are they from?

 

[Tredman]

Some random guy on twitter posted them - it’s the first half (finished on 55 mins) ours is for after Raul went off.

 

[Johnny75]

It highlights how central to everything Joao is too.

 

[AndyWolves]

I'd expect the rest of the match to look different though

 

[Premier Quality]

Just watched the game again on match of the day - Traores cross for Neto’s goal was gorgeous.

good run too, tierney couldn’t live with him, but the cross was excellent.

 

[Tredman]

He started the move for the 2nd too. Might not have been the best player on the pitch but without him it would have been a very different result.

Thought it was Traore's best game of the season by far, played well. Wonder if it just helps all of them when there's 4 attackers, players don't feel they have to create something out of nothing on their own

If you look at some of the early attacks there are often 4 in and around the box which is more than when we play 3-4-3 and had Raul on his tod in the mixer.

also makes doubling up on traore risky, allowing space for 3 others to take advantage.
we went through marcal to neto on the left a lot v arsenal.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

That one ball down the line from Marçal to Neto was an absolute peach.

 

[Premier Quality]

Yes, was fantastically played and beautifully weighted. He had a really good game all round.

 

[Dennisons Wrong Foot]

Breakout game for Neto. I think our opponents will pay him much more attention from now on.
Marcal cemented his place in the team - RAN may not play again until Palace in the cup.
Four attacking players together (and compact) made a huge difference.
Silva improving all the time. I got the feeling that on occasions he showed too much deference to the other players (understandably). The centre forward needs the confidence to demand the ball and then just f**king hit it. A goal will help him.

 

[YoungWolf]

Would be very surprised if Marcal plays both the Spurs and United game over christmas - too little rest time. RAN will get his chance again of course and like you say has the cup game too.

 

[Paul]

Agree, thought Marcal was exemplary which has caused some confliction as I'm a big fan of Jonny
