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

[Jinky]

They’re all over us now. Handed the initiative to them with the Podence substitution.

 

[PuntsWolf]

He’s been awful today

Runs around a lot. Big. Nuno never brings him off.

needs to stop hitting crossfield balls with his left foot. Gave away chances at CB doing that.

 

[Deleted Cyber]

Aaaaaaaahhhhhhh dropping deep again ! Ffs! How often?

 

[Carrotdude]

Taking Podence off doesn’t seem the best move

 

[Freddeno]

They’re all over us now. Handed the initiative to them with the Podence substitution.

Yes, as usual

 

[Carrotdude]

We’re in full blown panic mode right now

 

[Templeton Peck]

Shambolic since Neves came on

 

[Dublin Drummer Wolf]

We keep giving away possession in dangerous areas

 

[Alan]

We’re in full blown panic mode right now

We're defending for our lives, but I wouldn't say panicking.

 

[t3ch]

kilman coming on, for donk I assume

 

[The Bear]

Back to 3 at the back surely?

 

[Alan]

Holy shit. I didn't realize Kilman's dad died last week.

 

[t3ch]

I hadn't either, not sure how I missed that

 

[t3ch]

kilman for silva good lord

 

[Jack Regan]

Even more defensive as Fabio is off. Basically asking for an equaliser how defensive we're going.

 

[Alan]

Asking our defenders to defend, I'd say.

 

[GLASGOWOLF]

Killman on Silva off we have given the thrust to them

 

[Freddeno]

This wont last for 10-15 mins, no way

 

[Premier Quality]

Fucking he’ll we’ve gone defensive. Would have expected Auba to score that

 

[Jinky]

We’ve been burnt by playing these kind of tactics before. We might well hold on, but surely we have to offer something going forward to keep them thinking?

Once again, if they equalise, we can’t complain. Nuno has literally handed the initiative to Arsenal at a vital part of the match.
