[McNamara That Ghost...]

West Ham: Fabianski, Fredericks, Balbuena, Diop, Masuaku, Wilshere, Sanchez. Antonio, Snodgrass, Anderson, Arnautovic.
Subs: Adrian, Rice, Zabaleta, Obiang, Yarmolenko, Lucas, Hernandez.

Best Sanchez to ever grace the Emirates tbf.

[SMatthews]

The trolling didn’t die when Wenger left.

[Blink 1nce Quince 2wice]

Give me strength....

[Globalgunner]

Its gonna be a long season chaps

[Gooner23]

Ozil 'sick' again :d

[hobson's choice]

Ozil 'sick' again :d

Apparently there was a situation Thursday and yesterday

[Penguin]

Our passes are finding West Ham players more often than our own players.

[Gooner23]

As in spat his dummy out at being subbed last week?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Disallowed goal for Ramsey.

Arnautovic hit the side netting earlier.

[Blink 1nce Quince 2wice]

Sooo exposed on that counter.

[Blink 1nce Quince 2wice]

So is pressing not a thing for us anymore?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Arsenal 0-1 West Ham, Arnautovic. :doh:

[Goonermerree]

Wham one nil up. Ha

[SMatthews]

Oh dear

[Penguin]

Stop giving the ball away FFS!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Be careful what you wish for. :bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

MONREAL!!!!

[Penguin]

Brilliant touch by Auba.

[SMatthews]

Monreal you little beaut

[Penguin]

Monreal should be captain IMO. Consistent, passionate, scorer of important goals.

[Goonermerree]

Nacho, my man.

[SMatthews]

Should be about 6-6 by the end

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Bellerin has to be dropped soon surely?

Socrates blocks Anderson off.

[Thierrymon]

We are giving them a crazy amount of space in attack. Leaving ourselves wide open.

[SMatthews]

Bellerin needs to be hooked

[Blink 1nce Quince 2wice]

Ramsey intent on complicating things.

[Ralpheroo72]

Our deference is as tight as Jordan’s flange

[Penguin]

Bellerin has to be dropped soon surely?
He's all over the place for the third game in a row.

Emery is being too soft on them. It might even do Bellerin some good to spend a bit of time on the bench and reflect on what he's doing wrong.

[Globalgunner]

Our deference is as tight as Jordan’s flange

Shes had surgery since you last visited

[Globalgunner]

we are very far from being a well oiled machine, but the components are there it seems

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Diop booked, run at him!

[Penguin]

Auba's limping, hopefully nothing serious.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Snodgrass should make it 1-2 but Cech saves.

[Penguin]

Ramsey has been awful.

[Thierrymon]

We have been fucking awful so far.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

1-1 HT.

Us. :lol:

[Globalgunner]

Our defence is as solid as week old chips.
Xhaka genuinely scares me. Every time he goes for the ball my mind says "red card"

[Penguin]

Every time we lose the ball we look like we might concede. And we lost the ball a LOT in that half :lol:

[Globalgunner]

Ramsey has been awful.

Everything he does turns to sh....t

[hobson's choice]

We gonna give up a record amounts of goals this season.

Teach em how to press, but not how to actually defend, and play a high line with slow footed defenders:lol::lol:

[21_GOONER_SALUTE]

Again, a poor starting lineup by our manager and as usual we concede first.

Emery is not impressing me.

[RomfordPele]

Everything he does turns to sh....t


Again, a poor starting lineup by our manager and as usual we concede first.

Emery is not impressing me.

This. I am all for giving the guy a chance but persisting with bellerin, xhaka and mustafi is starting to make me question him.

Don’t know what Torreira and Lacazette have done to deserve benxhtime when these jokers start before them. Not quite sure what xhaka needs to do to get dropped.

[21_GOONER_SALUTE]

Our defence is as solid as week old chips.
Xhaka genuinely scares me. Every time he goes for the ball my mind says "red card"

Why he keeps starting him is really beginning to get to me.

He starts his games with two holding midfielders and yet our defence is as shit as ever.

Xhaka having a regular shirt is Emery's biggest failing so far.

[21_GOONER_SALUTE]

With Ozil out, this was his best chance to start Obama and Lacazette- or are we meant to believe a world class manager cant play both of them at the same time?

I'm not happy.

[hobson's choice]

On a bright note so glad Jack is gone, not a good player. And his legs are done.

[hobson's choice]

With Ozil out, this was his best chance to start Obama and Lacazette- or are we meant to believe a world class manager cant play both of them at the same time?

I'm not happy.

He's never been a World Class manager.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Arnautovic. :lol:

[hobson's choice]

Can someone please help Bellerin

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Arnautovic is dead.

[hobson's choice]

Does this team understand that its ok to attack on the left side or the middle, not just the right side

[Penguin]

Guendouzi is off for Torreira. Why not Xhaka? :blink:

[SMatthews]

Good sub.

Not so good from monreal.

[hobson's choice]

Hernandez looking like a middle aged dike

[Penguin]

Perez coming on. What are the odds on him scoring against us?

[Penguin]

The counter attack ends with Ramsey again...

[Globalgunner]

Laca!!!!!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

2-1 DIOP OG!!!!

[Thierrymon]

Good goal from OG there.

[SMatthews]

Ultimate pub goal.

[Penguin]

Really good work from Laca there. He has made a difference since coming on.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Diop clears one now.

[Penguin]

Auba should have scored. Good work from Ramsey to set him up

[SMatthews]

Need that third to shore this up.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Need that third to shore this up.

Confident with three?

[Blink 1nce Quince 2wice]

Xhaka vs Bell in a crapoff

[SMatthews]

Confident with three?

...

[Penguin]

Xhaka kicks it out and starts shouting at Bellerin. Fuck off you twat.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Welbz on to sort this out. :bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Fabianski saves from Ramsey.

[SMatthews]

Welcome back Perez.

[SMatthews]

Jesus

[Globalgunner]

This is one ropey team.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

WELBECK!!!!!

[Globalgunner]

Phew!!!

[Thierrymon]

Welbeck! That was Weleasy for him.

[SMatthews]

Welbz!

Never in doubt.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Arsenal 3-1 West Ham, FT!

:bow:

[Master Splinter]

Welbz on to sort this out. :bow:

:gp:

[Power n Glory]

We have work to do. That lacked control, solidarity and Unai has to make some major changes to make to this squad.

[hobson's choice]

We are not gonna win a lot of games this season. We just played against whose players are more stupid than our lot

[McNamara That Ghost...]

We are not gonna win a lot of games this season. We just played against whose players are more stupid than our lot

There's a lot of those in this league tbf.

[Mac76]

Didn't see or listen to it and am glad, started with Xhaka and Mustafi AGAIN, unbelievable, then he subs Auba for Welbeck who comes on and scores :doh: - if this means Welbeck starts the next game we really are f****d

[Coney]

Didn't see or listen to it and am glad, started with Xhaka and Mustafi AGAIN, unbelievable, then he subs Auba for Welbeck who comes on and scores :doh: - if this means Welbeck starts the next game we really are f****d

Yes - if Welbeck keeps scoring, it will be terrible.

[Blink 1nce Quince 2wice]

:d :lol:

[Mac76]

Yes - if Welbeck keeps scoring, it will be terrible.

My point is, he won't but Emery will then persist with him for a while anyway, which is more lost time....

[GP]

My point is, he won't but Emery will then persist with him for a while anyway, which is more lost time....

Emery isn't Wenger.

[Mac76]

Emery isn't Wenger.

IKR, i should have said 'if Emery persisted with him...'

everyone happy now ? :sarcy: :lol:
