Arsenal (A) 29/11 Build-Up & Match Thread

[sycophantia]

First of all, main thing is hope Raul is ok...any news?
As for the game, this system really suits our forwards, obviously leaves us a bit open at the back but not doing bad there.
Traore's best game of the season, not just his assists.
Fabio doing well I think

 

[PuntsWolf]

Seen that still of Raul. Straight on pterion. Genuinely worried for his life. I’d imagine they’ve got him in a induced coma. I feel awful.

 

[YoungWolf]

Best half of the season entertainment wise & performance wise, for me (Raul injury aside).

Nuno will get them together and make sure we win this one for Raul rather then feel sorry for ourselves, I think/hope.

And if they did feel sorry for themselves, I honestly couldn’t blame them. I can’t stop thinking about it

 

[GLASGOWOLF]

Sshould have been 2-2
Then great defending

 

[Dublin Drummer Wolf]

Neto and Silva linking up really well

 

[The Bear]

Silva's movement has been good. Knows how to link play too.

 

[Premier Quality]

Gabriel caught Traore there, that’s as much as a penalty as the Brighton one

 

[Tredman]

That is a fucking disgrace.

 

[The Bear]

That's a pen. Caught his foot.

 

[Dublin Drummer Wolf]

Seen them given

 

[Carrotdude]

That Traore dive looked very similar to the Mahrez one that won city a penalty last season.

 

[PuntsWolf]

Going down was an after thought. Looked like a dive. Really it was

 

[GLASGOWOLF]

Fuck me.... not very solid this half

 

[Deleted Cyber]

Silva didn't touch him did he?

 

[Lichens]

Where the hell is VAR with Traore. Definite contact, would’ve been a soft pen but that’s a foul.

 

[t3ch]

Silva didn't touch him did he?

looks like he pulled out, bare contact if any. you understand why it was given though, I certainly thought he did in real time

 

[b3h]

Where the hell is VAR with Traore. Definite contact, would’ve been a soft pen but that’s a foul.

Marriner

 

[Alan]

Fabio really has been excellent.

 

[The Bear]

That's what pisses me off about VAR. No doubt Marriner had one quick look before the side on angle was shown and instantly dismissed it. Yet that angle showed clear contact on his foot.

 

[Lichens]

Marriner

Makes sense
