Match Day Thread Arsenal vs. Leicester City 2015/16 Official Match Thread

I wish we give them the respect they deserve ... It seems all team under estimate them and go all attack on them. Instead, let's invite them to have the ball a bit and hit them on the counter. That way they can taste their own medicine.

 

The midfield is key for me in this game. If we let Leicester play through the middle of us then they are going to get the ball to Mahrez and Vardy time and again and we will be on the back foot. I'd play Coq and Ramsey and possibly even Coq and Elneny with Ramsey on the right instead of Walcott as OXO suggested. Walcott can come on as a sub if we need him and mix things up a bit, but I echo the sentiments that we need to be cautious in this game and not go full tilt throwing everybody forward as they will pick us off on the counter.

 

What the hell are you mods doing to the site??? Bad enough you bring the mod community into disrepute, but to actually break the site...

 

Mertesacker in for Gabriel who I gather is injured. Bit of a blow that.
But thank **** that Flamini has finally been dropped for Coquelin!

 

****ing hell alexis, few more rolls why dont you

 

Sanchez ... what a tart

 

100% penalty handball, Atkinson as usual, a pile of ****.

 

You moaned that our penalty v them was a joke but claim that was a definite pen?

 

It is, he moves his hand to the ball and blocks the play, it should have been a penalty.

 

great bit of play there from leicester, was onside

 

My honest opinion is that it was from too close a range...I thought the pen we got v Leicester was very harsh and think that would have been too

 

Nope, was clearly offside. And our GK dealt with it anyway.

 

lol, so he gives a handball for that, but not a penalty, **** these referees.

 

Think Arsenal have made a very good start...that was outstanding from both keepers

 

Great save by Cech, **** defending by Bellerin, just ball watching.

 

super bit of football both end, great goalkeeping on show here

 

he was level, replays showed it...his hand was offside

 

Great from Nacho, Simpson wanted to go hard, and instead he's the one who gets floored.

 

ozil was onside

 

Played well so far.
