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

[b3h]

With doc as RCB?

Yep

 

[The Bear]

Definitely 4-3-3/4-5-1 with Bellegarde most advanced behind Larsen.

 

[Alan]

Think @The Bear had the right of the formation.

Won’t be able to watch much from now but feeling oddly optimistic suddenly.

 

[The Bear]

Fist thing RAN does and it's class. Gotta keep hold of him.

 

[Squeak]

So we've started with more b/s ...never a foul by Larsen.

 

[The Bear]

Gillet starts with the bullshit.

 

[Squeak]

Horrible marking at the corner... Saka completely free on the edge of the box... hate seeing that.

 

[Elephant Pyjamas]

Could Doc have gone down there?

Larsen started well.

 

[Elephant Pyjamas]

We've started pretty well.

 

[The Bear]

We do look composed. Couple of silly mistakes giving the ball away in our won half though.

 

[Jinky]

Havertz leaves the ball behind and falls over, Arsenal fans scream for a penalty.

Eventually the ref will buckle and give them something soft.

Reasonably comfortable start from us but need to make sure we don’t drop too deep. Easier said than done away at Arsenal.

 

[Jinky]

Love seeing that high press and Bellegarde ragdolling Zinchenko off the ball. More of that, please. Really hope Jean-R can kick on after a period of adjustment last season.

 

[The Bear]

Sounds like a nasty injury at Forest. Danilo snapped his ankle apparently.

 

[Tredman]

JRB does look good.

 

[Squeak]

Toti... WTF...

 

[Squeak]

Lemina slow getting back leaving Odegaard free.... need to get back in shape and be more compact.

 

[AndyWolves]

Sounds like a nasty injury at Forest. Danilo snapped his ankle apparently.

Yeah, doesn't look good at all

[Tredman]

Surprised how poor Toti has looked, seems to have regressed.

 

[UKYankieWWFC]

Early yellow for Gomes

 

[PuntsWolf]

Just isn’t a yellow.
