Absolutely no control of the middle of the pitch at all. Then allowing Saka & Martinelli in behind Marcal/Semedo on a regular basis isn’t going to end well for us.

 

[Freddeno]

Keep saying it, we need a striker

 

[BeaverWolf]

Podence gives the ball away 3 times in a minute. All sloppy crap.

I'd say the central midfield has been ours in general so far. Neves is doing his usual stuff.

 

[Jinky]

Shite goal against the run of play.

5 shots to 2 in their favour. I wouldn’t say it was against the run of play. We’ve played some nice football but created nothing.

 

[Templeton Peck]

We've been fine. Goal just changes the narrative but we've looked better than them across the pitch.

 

[The Bear]

Trinc-wowthatwasashitcross

 

[Jinky]

Trincao’s delivery absolutely appalling. Marcal showing him how it’s done.

 

[Del Woppio]

We really, really need to start turning dangerous situations into actual fucking chances

 

[t3ch]

Fantastic run of play there

 

[Alan]

Well, Pod and Trincao haven’t been as good as Martinelli or Ødegaard.

 

[NicholasG1973]

We are playing with two wing backs with no attacking cabability.

And two defensive midfielders.

So we’re not gonna be the Harlem Globetrotters tonight.

Marcal down but looks like he might just have the wind knocked out. Couldn’t help thinking oh ffs for a moment

Lucy Ward obviously got his feed on her phone tonight.

All looking very... Arsenal. Lots of passing chains breaking down when they reach the box, plenty of possession but doing nothing much with it.

On the plus side, apart from their goal Arsenal have been looking even less threatening. So hopefully they won't score again? Please?

 

[Newbridge Wolf]

Marcels crocked here

 

[Jinky]

Marcal done. Made of biscuits.

 

[The Bear]

Marcal isn't going to last. RAN will be on.

I'd have had him on at HT any way.
