Match Day Thread Ipswich Town vs Arsenal

Haha! I only allow retrospective predictions if they’re wrong

 

Can see this being similar to the away game....arsenal strolling amd a bit of a pre-season friendly atmosphere...1-0 to the Arsenal

 

Like the hug KM & Arteta gave each other

 

One down, hope the floodgates dont open.

 

Too easy, brilliant move, different class.

Lets just enjoy.

0-2

 

As you said Gaffer, hopefully the floodgates don't open!

 

Thats Leif's game over, a red card, really?

 

What was the red for ?

 

Burgess on, as he should be from the start.

 

Late but not nasty tackle on Saka.

 

Dire. Big questions over Leif at this level.

 

In truth, watching it again there was no attempt to play the ball, and he scraped the back of his ankle.

 

I am sure if fit Townsend would play.

 

Different class, different league, cant lay a glove on them. I think one of outstanding differences is their movement off the ball.

 

We seem to have kept the score respectable Gaffer.

 

Well, I s'pose 4 is less than 6!

 

Very tough to play with energy, commitment and any fluency and pride wen down to 10 men.

 

Another difficult watch glad the crowd stuck with them though.

 

How poor are West Ham if they can’t beat that Southampton side. One of your supporters predicted Leif would make the England squad, he’s a shockingly bad defender and has lived off his attacking attributes too long

 

I thought the same. I had him down as a Newcastle United player before long. I think the Premier League star lifestyle has got the better of him. Shame.
