Match Day Thread Arsenal v Saints Friday 21st April 8pm

Yeah I think the yellow card sealed his fate. He 90% would have picked up another in the second half.

 

Alcaraz can last longer than 45 mins

 

I personally wouldn’t, because their replacements are ****.

 

I was disappointed that Charly went off because he was playing so well but that change worked. Don't have any issues with that. TBH it took a moment of real quality from Odegaard to get them back in the game so I'm not too annoyed about the Lavia change - he did look knackered.

 

Oh I’m proud-ish that we turned up today, but I was definitely happier before the game than after it.

 

Me too mate. Me too.

 

Good to see the bbc live feed has balanced, proportional updates. Waiting for Selles interview I actually forgot who Arsenal played tonight.

 

Like Liverpool could not hold on two a 3-0 lead against struggling Southampton in 98. It happens

 

Am I allowed back in the UK again?

I actually thought Paul did more in 15 than AA did in 75

 

If I were you i'd stay in Italy. Whilst you are there pop over to Turin on Sunday to watch Napoli virtually clinch the title against Juve.

 

Agreed. But then again, I basically did more than AA, and I spent the match sat on my sofa.

 

I bet the scousers were pissed off though.

 

You can't complain about the subs itself, but you can about the quality of replacements. Something that's out of Selles hands anyway.

I think we all agree Lavia should have stayed on even if that meant a short term injury, Selles got that sooo wrong

 

Did AA really only touch the ball 3 times? We played with 10 men for most of the match. Expected a 4-0 defeat but a 3-3 draw feels like a defeat.

 

It's the manner of the draw for me. To be fighting for your lives and let in 2 goals in 3 minutes is unforgivable. It doesn't matter who you're playing, you've got to have the minerals to chase and win the ball. If this was the first 10 games of a season it wouldn't really matter, but now? It feels like this will smash any remaining confidence out of the team and fans

The way this ****ing season is going I fully expected the other teams around us to pick up maximum points now.

 

Well what a couple of days. Enjoyed seeing 18 frames at The Crucible and participating in my first Poznan at The Emirates. Shame we couldn’t quite get it over the line but what a point and what an effort

 

I agree Lavia stays on we win. Simple as that. Selles got that horribly wrong. I know he was trying to protect the player, but when you are paid the big bucks sometime you need to take the ****ish decision knowing it is not good for the player but good for the team. WEAK!
