Arsenal (H) 20/4: Build-Up & Match Thread

[The Bear]

Feel pretty chill about this, mainly because expectations are so low and the team looks so weak. What will be will be. Feel sorry for those fans who have paid good money to see it though.

Yep a complete free hit.

 

[The Bear]

That's three times in the last few minutes that Doherty has made a run in behind and no-one has even tried to find him. Doyle and now Santi.

Have a go lads FFS.

Yep, just popped on to say exactly this. He’ll stop making that run now because we haven’t passed it once.

 

[The Bear]

Doherty and Hwang linking in behind is probably the only way we're gonna score from open play today.

 

[Jack Regan]

Arsenal making it fairly easy for us so far. Very little pressure on the ball when we have it and little intensity when they do.

 

[Jinky]

Lucky there. How about we don’t leave Rice unmarked on the edge of the box for the whole game?

Also, Alan Smith is fucking nauseating. He shouldn’t be allowed to commentate on Arsenal games.

 

[big mean bunny]

Solid enough start for me, but this feels like McCarthy style red flag with the amount of time and space players are being allowed on the edge of box. Need to be braver at pushing the block line 10yards further forward.

 

[The Bear]

We've done a lot of passing around in our own half and across the back 5, but little else.

Luckily they haven't really gotten going yet.

 

[Jinky]

Grown in to it nicely but need to also show we can lay a glove on them & give Raya something to think about. Got a feeling Arsenal are coasting in first gear at the moment & could turn it on at any point.

 

[The Bear]

Dreadful ball back in from Traore.

 

[The Bear]

Oof close from Gomes.

 

[Jinky]

Had to score there. Gutted.

Was a very tight angle. Did as well as he could IMO. High and only just tipped it onto the post.

 

[BeaverWolf]

Brilliant play by Gomes.

Oh complete luck from Raya - Gomes blasted it straight at him.

Silly yellow from Toti.

 

[Wellen Wolf]

South bank on song. Great stuff. Are there any Arsenal fans there?

 

[The Bear]

That's what we need to do. Not pander to their every whim, stick it up them.

 

[Elephant Pyjamas]

We're making a good fist of it all things considered, feels like everyone is playing at their maximum.

 

[Elephant Pyjamas]

Lots of bookings.

He had too from that angle.
