Arsenal v Leicester City | Tue 7th July 2020 8:15pm | Sky Sports

[The Wengerbabies]

I have a 100% match thread winning streak since my return. Let's keep it up!

0-2

[Mac76]

Yeah, Vardy scored today, just in time to come to the emirates.... :(

[GP]

3-0

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Somehow we'd only be six points behind Leicester if we won. :lol:

Should be awarded the win with Leicester in lockdown tbf.

[Niall_Quinn]

We've got abut 400x the resources of Leicester? If we don't beat them, and beat them well - the shame of it.

So, in advance:

[Letters]

We always beat Leicester at home.

[I am invisible]

That defence has been doing ok, but every time I see it in a confirmed lineup it still scares the crap out of me!

[Marc Overmars]

Is Ozil finally done?

Or has he still got some faux ilness/back ache?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Good work from Tierney to dig out a cross from there.

[Mac76]

suicide tackle from tierney

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Martinez saves from Iheanacho.

[Mac76]

good corner but good save

[McNamara That Ghost...]

No near post run. :rolleyes:

[Marc Overmars]

Lacashite never releases the ball early. Pass it you sloth.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Who is Aubamegang?

[Mac76]

laca keeps running up to charge schmeichel down but slows down at the crucial moment - i don't know why he bothers

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Tierney hammered that. :haha:

Schmeichel boots it up field but Martinez clears it.

[Globalgunner]

Our passing is nowhere near the quality needed at this level

[McNamara That Ghost...]

AUBAMEYANG!!!!

Brilliant from Saka!!! :bow:

[Mac76]

good shot from tierney and then good save from martinez

[Marc Overmars]

Auba :bow:

Saka assist :bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

What a pass from Ceballos too. :scarf:

[GP]

AUBA!!

Saka is a boss!

[Mac76]

What a pass from Ceballos too. :scarf:

yeah a great move altogether

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Auba couldn't lay it on a plate for Saka.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

How does Xhaka whack that cross out of play? Just dink it you bellend.

[Mac76]

laca passes back to schmeichel

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Well done Kolasinac.

Saka strikes but Schmeichel keeps it out with his feet.

[Mac76]

laca took an hour to pass to saka then

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Schmeichel saves from Lacazette.

And then from Bellerin.

[Marc Overmars]

Do one Kasper

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Corner went out of play before coming back in. :rolleyes:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Iheanacho puled Kolasinac down.

Disallowed goal.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Iheanacho sends it out of the ground. :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Tierney boots it out of play for some reason.

[Globalgunner]

2nd goal needed before HT

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Lacazette header straight at Schmeichel.

FFS.

[GP]

Lacazette header straight at Schmeichel.

FFS.

Great ball in from Bellers, Laca should have scored!

[Mac76]

evans should have got a yellow then

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Mustafi got kicked in the face by Vardy.

Send him off!

[Mac76]

Mustafi got kicked in the face by Vardy.

Send him off!

you mean mustafi right? ;)

[Mac76]

the commentator's never heard of the piccadilly line

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Kolasinac heads the ball and then Iheanacho.

[GP]

lol ow

[McNamara That Ghost...]

1-0 HT.

Should've been more.

We're back!

[Mac76]

we started badly but got back into the game - saka and ceballos have been great, also tierney

[Marc Overmars]

What the hell was that?

Lots of quick passing, players making runs, strong at the back.

Am I really watching Arsenal?

[Master Splinter]

Should be game over really. Leicester had one decent effort than nothing else.

Two clear, dirty fouls right in front of the referee not punished. Standard stuff.

Laca's done well in these last two games, but he's still a few steps off everyone else's wavelength and his finishing is just as disappointing as it has been all season.

One big positive is that Ceballos has finally put a run of good games together and seems to be someone who's really responded to Arteta's methods.

[LDG]

Best I’ve seen us play for a long time.

Great power. Great pace. Great fast.

Could have done with a second, and a third. Some great build up though.

[Mac76]

laca really should've scored in that first half

[GP]

Motorhead's HHH theme rings out :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

David Luiz blocks from Justin.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Motorhead's HHH theme rings out :lol:

Hehouuuehhuh!

It's all about the game and how you play it.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

David Luiz managed to get a free kick on target. :faint:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Ceballos shot deflects over.

Sky must love being able to decide what chants get played and what don't.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Mustafi is dead.

[Mac76]

we should bring holding on

[Master Splinter]

Ref letting play go on with Mustafi injured in the Leicester box.

Tells you everything.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Iheanacho first time, Martinez saves us again.

[Marc Overmars]

Safe hands Martinez :bow:

[GP]

Martinez is the best South American goalie we've had since Ospina.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

How can that not be a yellow for Bennett?

[Mac76]

Safe hands Martinez :bow:

i'm already thinking he's our best goalie

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Iheanacho hauled off, Barnes on.

Albrighton off, Fuchs on.

[Master Splinter]

Another clear yellow not given.

:haha:

[Globalgunner]

We are throwing this game away

[McNamara That Ghost...]

I guess we knew Barnes was going to send it miles away. :unsure:

[Mac76]

Bodgers takes off Iheanacho who's been their most dangerous player :wacko:

[Marc Overmars]

i'm already thinking he's our best goalie

His handling has been excellent.

I don’t think we’ve really been peppered with shots during his run in the team, so we’ll see how he does when that happens. Leno is usually pretty good at shot stopping regularly.

[Globalgunner]

Xhaka is such a turd. Loses every tackle big pansy

[McNamara That Ghost...]

We've done bugger all in this half. :lol:

[Mac76]

Xhaka is such a turd. Loses every tackle big pansy

too slow, too clumsy, especially now we're playing at a faster pace

[Marc Overmars]

Need to make sure we don’t encourage Leicester too much here.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Er WTF Kola?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Vardy scuffer.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Low Cross Tierney.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

LACAZETTE!!!

Onside surely?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

No. Stays 1-0. :rolleyes:

[Marc Overmars]

Damn. Pretty close.

[Mac76]

laca offside :rolleyes:

[GP]

Who's this Keenan Tierney?

[Master Splinter]

Laca punished for not staying onside.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Schmeichel gifts us a throw-in to bring on Willock and Nketiah. :bow:

Lacazette off, Saka off.

[Mac76]

schmeichel :haha:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Kavanagh just doesn't have his cards I think.

[Xhaka Can’t]

Played the wrong side of the Tape cassette.

:getcoat:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Red for Nketiah, VAR will give it.

[Mac76]

Kavanagh just doesn't have his cards I think.

he does when it comes to us

[GP]

That's a yellow all day long

[McNamara That Ghost...]

There you go, Nketiah sent off.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Bennett off, Gray on.

[Marc Overmars]

Fuck sake.

[Penguin]

Oh fuck off.

[Marc Overmars]

Time to pub the shit out of this now.

[Mac76]

it was a stupid tackle but you could see there was no intent and he didn't hit him with any real force

[Xhaka Can’t]

Bullshit

[LDG]

What absolute bollocks. Fucking cheat

[GP]

Bullshit

innit

[Mac76]

we should definitely bring holding on to shore things up at the back

[RomfordPele]

Never in doubt that was going to be a red. It’s arsenal lads - the media will back us if we send him off and destroy us if we don’t. What choice does the ref have?

[WMUG]

HOOF!

:lol:

[Marc Overmars]

It was a bit clumsy but I think the ball was there to be won. Oh well.

[Mac76]

HOOF!

:lol:

no choice because Auba isn;t staying up front to take the pressure off

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Vardy offside and misses anyway.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Ceballos off, Torreira on.

[Globalgunner]

So Arsenal to get a red at home. Utd haven't conceded a red at OT since Jesus walked on water

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Ndidi off, Praet on.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Thanks Justin.

[Mac76]

there we are needing to keep the ball and luiz just boots the FK upfield aimlessly

[Master Splinter]

Leicester to get a yellow card in the 97th minute.

[Mac76]

we're playing too deep, it's asking for trouble

[McNamara That Ghost...]

1-1 Vardy. Fuck sake.

[Mac76]

there we go - vardy equaliser

[GP]

1-1 Vardy. Fuck sake.

Always that rat fuck

[Mac76]

offside surely?

[GP]

Clearly off.

[Marc Overmars]

:rose:

It was coming. They’ve had way more of the play this half, even before the red.

[Mac76]

vardy's elbow was clearly offside - that's all it normally takes

[GP]

What is the point of VAR?

[Mac76]

is Mike Dean doing VAR today?

[Xhaka Can’t]

Bullshit

[Master Splinter]

Scumbag ref has remembered he can use his cards now.

[RomfordPele]

What absolute bollocks. Fucking cheat


What is the point of VAR?

To screw teams the media don’t like and favour ones they do.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Eight added minutes. :lol:

[Mac76]

xhaka's done absolutely nothing today

[Globalgunner]

The mentality of this team remains the same. Why do they all go and defend when a man down. Keep your striker on the centre line. It stops the opposition CBs making it a half pitch game. Why does no coach ever see this

[Mac76]

8 minutes - they're giving Leicester every chance to beat us

[Mac76]

The mentality of this team remains the same. Why do they all go and defend when a man down. Keep your striker on the centre line. It stops the opposition CBs making it a half pitch game. Why does no coach ever see this

yes, it's totally amateur, auba should stay up

[LDG]

Fucking 8 minutes???? Wtf!!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Auba off, AMN on.

[Xhaka Can’t]

Eight added minutes. :lol:

Bullshit

[Mac76]

Bodgers having a laugh with his mates the officials

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Why did Willock go out wide there? Weird.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

1-1 FT.

Still going for that draw record.

[Mac76]

if we'd had martinelli instead of laca in the first half we'd have won this

[LDG]

Robbed by the officials again.

[Xhaka Can’t]

The ref couldn’t quite squeak out the win that Tyler was begging for.

[LDG]

More positive signs anyway.

[Master Splinter]

Kavanaugh devastated he couldn't get all 3 points for Leicester.

Arteta doing as well as he can with sub-par players and everything going against him. Every match we've dropped points in recently, we've been down to ten men or had multiple injuries.

[RomfordPele]

Played well, deserved the win and defended well.

If only we’d binned Emery in the summer when he should have gone.

Fucking hard playing 12 men every week though.

[Letters]

We always beat Leicester at home.

2-1.

Twat :angry:

[Marc Overmars]

Me. :lol:
