Arsenal (A) 17/8: Build-Up & Match Thread

[Elephant Pyjamas]

Joao should prevent that free kick being taken.

 

[Banjo]

Why did we let that freekick be taken so quickly?

 

[Jinky]

Would love to see that free kick back. Looked soft as anything.

 

[The Bear]

Another one like last season where it's hit incredibly hard past him and he was partially unsighted.

So definitely Sa who'll get the blame....

 

[Lichens]

blatant handball?

RAN let him come inside too easily. Poor defending

Booked ay he

 

[Elephant Pyjamas]

Booked ay he

Fair point, still.

 

[Squeak]

So many mistakes for that second goal... fucking shot ourselves in the foot yet again. Despite that, we've done OK and if Cunha makes a better effort with that chance, then who knows how Arsenal rock.

 

[Deano]

I wouldn't be bothered one bit if Sa goes in the next 2 weeks neither are completely his fault but he can do much better on both and it's too common for him.

 

[Elephant Pyjamas]

We love showing them inside for the shot on our left don't we? Jeesh.

If we replace him with Johnstone then we'll be worse off.

Just seen the second far to lax from RAN allowing him to cut inside really poor defending

 

[Jack Regan]

If we replace him with Johnstone then we'll be worse off.

Definitely need an upgrade but then you'd have to get silly money for Sa for us to do that, and then we'd probably still end up signing Johnstone.

 

[Deano]

Not watched enough of Johnstone of late to say.

 

[Jinky]

We had them on the ropes for a while. Cunha takes his chance and who knows. As it is, people will see the scoreline and think it’s a straightforward Arsenal win.

Quality of the players we’ve bought off the bench today far superior to last season. Wouldn’t mind keeping Podence around.

 

[Elephant Pyjamas]

I thought Chiquinho was wearing a nice little hat at first then!

 

[jd1981]

Scoreline and result is fair reflection on the game really Arsenal dominated the first half we had a purple patch of 20 minutes in the second half.

 

[Squeak]

Why Hwang why?
To think, we turned good money down for him.

 

[PuntsWolf]

Hwangs diving drives me insane. At all ends of the pitch
