Match Day Thread Arsenal vs Leeds United - Matchday Thread

LOL didn't take long did it 'Bruv'.

 

2-0! Ben White!

Good interplay between Zinchenko and Martinelli, who gets past Ayling and White ghosts past Harrison to double our lead early in second half.

 

3-0! Jesus again!

What a team goal!

Lovely from Trossard with yet another assist. Top, top build-up play

 

Martinelli almost scores from Trossard’s corner, good save Meslier.

Partey and Jesus off for Jorginho and Saka.

 

3-1. Kristensen deflected shot that goes in. That goal came about from a lack of intensity and standing off too much having been 3-0 up. Extremely disappointing to not keep another clean sheet at home.

 

Having both Jorginho and Holding on the pitch against teams looking to play in transition really weakens us. Jorginho in particular lacks athleticism, strength and mobility.

Look at how tetchy and uncoordinated we now look. Need to just keep the ball and stay calm in possession.

 

Xhaka! 4-1!

Lovely cross from Odegaard and great late run into the box from Xhaka who heads in unmarked.

 

FT. 4-1. 8 points re-established after a good win against a team who made it very tricky for us early on. Lovely stuff. 9 matches to go!

A lot of good performances in that second half, but a pity we dropped off after the 3rd goal, as that's what led to Leeds' consolation goal.

Liverpool at Anfield next...

 

I have to give the team and manager a lot of credit.

After the 3-1 home loss to City, I think a lot of people expected us to tail off and start crumbling.

But we've won 7 league games in a row - couldn't ask for much more from the players in response. An emphatic answer to the doubters.

Still got a little while to go, but we're getting closer to the finish line...

 

Where did all the Leeds fans go????

 

HA HA I was thinking the same.

 

We are here!!!!
Sorry but you don’t have the artillery to win the PL, Citeh will pip you.

 

If you’re wrong, I will be coming back to this comment and I presume you will apologise?

 

Hello Gooner, don’t think that apology is going to be used!!! Do you?

 

It’s not over, don’t count your chickens just yet!
