Arsenal (A) 2/12: Build-Up & Match Thread

[Jinky]

...what?

We're defending when we have to, which against Arsenal is quite a bit. We haven't parked the bus at all.

Ok.

 

[Alan]

Ok.

I genuinely don't know what you'd want us to do differently. We've certainly not given up on going forward.

 

[Elephant Pyjamas]

They're stifling us, and we don't have the dynamism of Neto or to a lesser extent Gomes to effect the game.

We've started going for the ball over the top more and more too, probably as a result of that.

You're right.

It's how far we've sunk as a club that we haven't laid a glove on them and won't.

 

[Templeton Peck]

Might have more of a go with 10 left.

Burnley gubbing Blades 4-0

Partly agree, although we haven't got 2 of our our best players, our 2 first choice midfielders and now our 1st choice keeper available either.

Got a bit more control over the last 5 mins which is nice to see. Think Arsenal are currently in 2nd gear, though.

That's fair.

"How far we've sunk" feels melodramatic; we've worked our asses off today for little reward, but it's a huge improvement from away performances under Lage and Lop. And, of course, the absences you point out.

Good save

 

[AndyWolves]

Wouldn't mind seeing chirewa get his debut today

 

[t3ch]

Let’s gooooo lol

 

[Alan]

FUcking get in Matheus!!

 

[The Bear]

CUUUUUUNHA!!!!!

finish son.

 

[Jinky]

What a finish from Cunha - lovely stuff. Great little foot in from Nelson.

 

[Elephant Pyjamas]

Good goal that.

 

[Jinky]

I mean, imagine if we got an equaliser. That would be glorious

 

[Alan]

Good press, Semedo forces a turnover at the top of the box, Cunha first-time curls it to the top corner.

Ooof and then a huge miss from Nketiah at the other end!
