Match Day Thread Arsenal vs Manchester United

You can see how Arsenal tries to stretch our shape with the flanks. This is precisely what we lack up front. We tend to rely on through balls. When we pressure the flanks, we become far more successful at scoring goals.

 

I bet the media is not going to scream today that the penalty is a soft one against United.

 

There’s actually no contact there. None!!

 

Phew - result

 

The commentators almost sound disappointed that there’s no penalty.

 

Now lets crack on and nick it, preferably with a penalty against Havertz.

 

In real time i called penalty straight away, seeing the replay i think it would have been very soft but am amazed the ref changed his mind.
Very lucky call for us.

 

I wouldn’t call it luck. What would be the point of VAR if that wasn’t cancelled. The player should be cautioned for simulation.

 

Maguire on, we'll lose 6 -1 now

 

He’ll get the winning header! lol

 

More changes, Garnacho and Evans on

 

for who?

 

****ing booooooommmmmm!

 

YESSSSSSS

 

Or not.

Absolute bollocks.

 

FFS

 

Rashford pulling out of a challenge for the third, ****er.

Arteta needs a bullet between his eyes, ****.

 

I was going to post something like this earlier. The man is actually repulsive with his antics.

 

The defenders just watched Rice there. Just shocking end!

 

Tough **** but some positives to take from the game. We were without an experienced defence, a make do and mend back four and even that had to be changed around because of the yellow cards. Hojlund looks solid and we still have Amrabat to come in the side. Disappointed to lose like that but its still early days.
