Leicester City v Arsenal, 17:30 GMT (09/11) SS Main Event

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Emery's last stand?

:rose:

[GP]

0-3

[Mac76]

Emery's last stand?

:rose:

We can only hope

I wonder if the players might deliberately have an off day...? ;)

[Mac76]

And why does this game have to be on TV, just when everyone will be watching in the pub - it's going to be so embarrassing

[AFC Leveller]

Ceballos ruled out.

With Pepe and Tierney playing in mid week, they will probably be benched for this.

I can see Emery playing 532 formation with Bellerin and Kolasinac our wide.

Either way this is a certified loss, 2-1 or 4-1.

[Marc Overmars]

Hard to make case for us winning but hopefully these losers can get it together for one game at least.

I do wonder if a bad defeat may push Emery out the door though...

[Letters]

I don't think we'll get thumped but I see zero chance of a win for us here.
How depressing. Leicester away and none of us (apart from GP) think we'll get anything :(

[Marc Overmars]

To be honest it could be any away game and it'd be touch and go as to whether we'll get a result.

[GP]

To be honest it could be any away game and it'd be touch and go as to whether we'll get a result.

Or home game, these days.

[dostoy]

Guaranteed loss, nothing is more certain.

No chance of even a draw, unless Arsenal score 3 or maybe 4 goals.

[Özim]

Expecting a defeat here, we're absolutely clueless at the back and short of ideas in midfield. Emery must be the only defensive manager whose side are incapable of defending. Wouldn't surprise me if he picks an odd lineup as well, with players who just shouldn't play like Kolasinac.

The positive for this game is that Emery should have to play our best midfield due to Ceballos being out and Xhaka being finished with the club, obviously it's not through choice though.

It's quite sad that we're watching on and expect Leicester to win, but then they have won the title more recently then us, seems the hierarchy are happy with us being 2nd rate nowadays.

[Bumble]

I think if we can score first... we might get a draw.

[IBK]

All Emery will think about are Leicester's strenghts and he will treat the game like the Wolves one. Draw possible but unlikely. Worst of it is I'm a bit past caring.

[dostoy]

I think if we can score first... we might get a draw.

IF I win the euromillions jackpot tonight I MIGHT be in the Bahamas this time tomorrow.

No Chance.

[Globalgunner]

I think if we can score first... we might get a draw.

Even if we go 3-0 up. I'm afraid we might still lose

[fakeyank]

I have a weird feeling that we are going to win this

1-3 to us

[Mac76]

I have a weird feeling that we are going to win this

1-3 to us

can i have some of what you're having...

[LDG]

The final nail in his coffin.

3-0 Vardy hattrick

[Ralpheroo72]

A defeat is a certainty. 4-1

[Mac76]

A defeat is a certainty. 4-1

Right now that would feel acceptable, anything is possible today including Leicester getting double figures - don't forget Rogers has a point to prove

[Letters]

So you think they're going to set a PL record?
Behave. We'll get beaten but let's not be silly about it.

[GP]

Xhaka starts

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Leicester: Schmeichel, Pereira, Soyuncu, Evans, Chilwell, Ndidi, Tielemans, Barnes, Perez, Maddison, Vardy.
Subs: Ward, Justin, Morgan, Gray, Albrighton, Choudhury, Praet.

Arsenal: Leno, Chambers, David Luiz, Holding, Bellerin, Guendouzi, Torreira, Kolasinac, Ozil, Aubameyang, Lacazette.
Subs: Martinez, Sokratis, Tierney, Willock, Saka, Pepe, Martinelli.

Attack I can live with but what is going on with the fullbacks according to the Arsenal.com line up?

Three?

:haha:

It has to be 3-5-2 I would think.

[Globalgunner]

3.5.2 obviously

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Tony Adams pitchside with Redknapp.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Chucking it down midweek, chucking it down tonight.

Emery has his own personal raincloud currently.

[Mac76]

Kola in for Tierney - that should work :sarcy:

One of our most potent sources of chances left on the bench

[Globalgunner]

Always give the worst player in that position 70mins. That's the Emery way.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Come on Arsenal. :bow:

[GP]

The floor is our best 11

https://i.redd.it/3yi7bfb41px31.jpg

[McNamara That Ghost...]

"Fucking no chance" says Vardy.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Schmeichel boots it out of play for some reason.

[dostoy]

Are we ready for a battering ?

If I thought Arsenal could suddenly improve and move into the top 4, I'd hope for a win but there is no chance of improvement.

I want at least 0-3 to get the message to the idiots at Arsenal, and a new manager after the international break.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Maddison taps it easily for Leno.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Offside but an ok move.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Leno comes out to head it away from Vardy.

[GP]

"Champions of England you'll never sing that"

Hmm...

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Idiotic from Guendouzi.

[LDG]

"Champions of England you'll never sing that"

Hmm...

Are they completely retarded?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Relatively composed 8 minutes, then comes the mental disintegration.

[GP]

Are they completely retarded?

Completely.

[Master Splinter]

Ridiculous decision in our favour for once?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

How has Lacazette missed that?

[AFC Leveller]

Great counter by us, Laca goes 1 inch away from scoring.

[AFC Leveller]

Bloody hell that was a clear pel. Ndidi practically saved that with his hand.

[Penguin]

Bloody hell that was a clear pel. Ndidi practically saved that with his hand.

Would have been harsh, he fell onto it

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Perez hammers it across goal, Chambers clears.

[Master Splinter]

How has Lacazette missed that?

He's not that good?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Ref bodychecks Auba.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Lacazette scuffer but forces a save.

[Penguin]

How has Lacazette missed that?

Don't think he was expecting the ball to get to him there and rushed it. He needs to be more ruthless sometimes.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Holding deciding to take everyone on in midfield. :wacko:

[Penguin]

All our players look so nervous.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Holding is having a mare.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

All this pissing going backwards.

Perez sends it sky high.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

And we do it again.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Perez diving.

[AFC Leveller]

Giving the ball away so many times in dangerous areas. The players look lost in this system.

Leicester will not miss many more.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Tielemans. :haha:

[Globalgunner]

Guendouzi is such a lightweight. Couldn't win a tackle against a schoolgirl

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Tielemans ball across goal, evades everyone after the Kolasinac deflection.

[AFC Leveller]

Guendouzi, Holding, Bellerin all having a mare. Just as I write this Leicester go close to scoring. We just cannot defend.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Tielemans scuffer on the volley, offside from Ndidi.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Bellerin did a thing! Loopy deflected cross, corner.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

How many times do we play the ball backwards? :(

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Maddison freekick, roof of the net.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

It's fine to just kick a player now.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Great defending from Barnes, for us.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

0-0 HT.

Only can score with a pubbed set piece or the best counter-attacking goal of all time with these tactics.

[Penguin]

The lack of quality in our team is shocking.

[Letters]

Plucky minnows Arsenal holding the mighty Leicester to a draw at the moment :bow:

[Master Splinter]

Leicester can't handle being favourites against the most dysfunctional Arsenal side in decades.

[Mac76]

God knows how it's 0-0 but doubt it'll stay that way.

Laca off the boil, Emery ahould swap him and Kola for Martinelli and Tierney at HT and we might even get something...

[dostoy]

Plucky minnows Arsenal holding the mighty Leicester to a draw at the moment :bow:

The sad thing is, that is completely accurate.

[GP]

Great performance haha lol jk

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Come on Arsenal. :bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Ndidi hammers the bar!

How?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

David Luiz combs it, not a bad effort.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Bellerin hammers it, over it goes.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Disallowed goal for Auba.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Evans booked.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Perez off, Gray on.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Kolo on the bench. :bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Half volley it Auba!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

That was poor from Lacazette.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

1-0 Vardy.

There it is.

[Globalgunner]

Inevitable.

[Letters]

1-0 Vardy.

There it is.

Held out longer than I expected tbh.
This is what we are reduced to, hoping we don’t get beaten too badly away at Leicester.
:ilt:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Leno saves from Vardy.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Barnes off, Praet on.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

2-0 Maddison.

Useless.

[GP]

Emery :wave:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Now he makes a change.

Holding off, Pepe on.

[Mac76]

Ok, that's it - Raul, Edu - get Emery out please

[Letters]

Why didn’t I put a bet on?
It was an absolute dead cert we were going to lose this.

[Master Splinter]

Surprised he didn't throw the kids on in an impossible situation again.

[Özim]

Emery is a useless manager, if we don't show him the door now I'll be shocked, Rogers and his team going 2nd.

[Globalgunner]

Idiots all round

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Torreira off, Willock on.

[Master Splinter]

One shot on target and now a negative goal difference.

Disgusting.

[dazthegooner]

Well if the board don't sack Emery thats it for the season.

[Mac76]

No offence to Willock but it's not gonna change a thing

[GP]

No offence to Willock but it's not gonna change a thing

Prime Messi wouldn't make a dent in this side.

[Master Splinter]

Well if the board don't sack Emery thats it for the season.

The damage is already well and truly done though.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

I thought the goal difference of 1 was shameful at this point in the season.

Me. :lol:

-1 now.

[Bumble]

why was pepe brought on at 2-0 not 1-0....

how the Leicester fans are right about emery as well

[dazthegooner]

The damage is already well and truly done though.

Well if we could get the same reaction that Ole got after he took over as caretaker before he got it full time.

[Master Splinter]

The AKBs woz rite.

[Master Splinter]

Well if we could get the same reaction that Ole got after he took over as caretaker before he got it full time.

Leicester and Chelsea will need to have a really poor second half of the season along with a massive Arsenal improvement.

[dazthegooner]

Burst my fooking bubble why don't yer.. :haha:

[Letters]

The AKBs woz rite.

:gp:

Letters :bow:

[Bumble]

Leicester and Chelsea will need to have a really poor second half of the season along with a massive Arsenal improvement.

not even 2nd half.... last two thirds of the season. we are only 12 games in and 9 points behind Leicester.

Leicester are a very good side... the first goal is the sort of goal we used to score.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

2-0 FT.

Emery. :wave:

Controlled the game how we wanted I am sure.

Should've been given the boot before this game really.

[Globalgunner]

Hopefully this will be the last nail. In Dracula's coffin. Bring out the holy water
