Arsenal (A) 13/12 Build Up & Match Thread

[EnglishBob]

I'd like to see us start to "leave something on" some of these Arsenal players. That's twice already we've had a player go to the touchline. Arsenal not shy about being physical.

Ball Watching FC..

Brain dead keeping from Johnstone letting that go which was followed by them conspiring not to score from the corner.

 

[Wellen Wolf]

That's twice the ref has delayed too long in letting our players back on the pitch. Add that to the marginal free kicks he gives them and not us.

 

[Wolftone]

Hwang should have cut across the defender and then it takes them out of the game. Poor decision but hardly surprising.

Did well to get it on target with his 'weaker foot'. Never gonna score though there.

Strand Larsen Watch
----------------------
30 minutes - 1 touch

He’s absolutely shite. Get Tolu on second half.

 

[Celtiña]

Mosquera and Toti if receive one ball are pass failed or pass out... Imposible play with that two... no def good, no pass good, not are fast.

 

[Wolftone]

We're doing ok away against 'the best team in Europe ' but go behind and we all know we don't have an answer.

 

[Celtiña]

Many times a lot player go 2 vs 1 and leave the arsenal player, and they only pass to that player and make a action... by run all to 2vs1? by no mark 1 vs 1.

 

[big mean bunny]

Good headed knock down from Larsen. Difference was there was bodies around him.

 

[Jack Regan]

We've actually defended fairly well, not sustainable for 90 minutes though. Their best option so far is corners into the six yard box as Johnstone makes Michael Oakes look dominant.

 

[Wolftone]

Mosquera and Toti if receive one ball are pass failed or pass out... Imposible play with that two... no def good, no pass good, not are fast.

Well Toti can't play and can't read the game. Absolute joke that he's captain let alone starting.
Sackable offence for the manager in itself.

 

[Jinky]

Jesus Christ JSL is absolutely pathetic. Johnstone with a quick kick upfield and JSL is standing on his heels and then when he runs he looks like he’s in treacle. Fuck him off in January. Genuinely one of the worst attitudes I’ve seen. Horrible.

 

[thisisgil]

Tolu on for JSL at half time please

 

[Jack Regan]

Big chance that.

 

[big mean bunny]

Big chance that.

Good block on the JSL shot too otherwise think thats in from that range.

 

[Jack Regan]

Better first touch from João and he probably gets a shot away too.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Well we aren't losing. I think it's as much down to Arsenal being very poor than us doing anything in particular (all we've done is park 8 behind the ball) but you take what you can.

A damning indictment on Mikel Flatley. All that talent and you play like that. Crap manager.

 

[Derby Wolf]

Arsenal fan here,

Just preparing a coffee and some lunch before heading down to the game later

I always study my opponents and lads, you're in for trouble today.

I've had a bet on us to score 6+ goals (Over 5.5)

Your team has no communication, defence is all over the place, heads drop way too easily, there's no structure to your attack or any movement in the wide areas, your players don't know what their next ball is or where to run.

If you're planning on going to the game I'd suggest scrapping it.

Cold, wet, late Saturday night at the Emirates, a sobering experience.

Think Gyokeres does well at Championship level too, you'll be a championship side next year so he'll feast 2-3 goals today.

BOOOOOOO!

Basically he played all game on defense... to stop all corners, no balls tounch up...

Hwang are all time camping... and get free 1 ball, and dont run a lot and missed that shot...

Other are working to try win or draw this.
