Leicester City v Arsenal, 12:00 GMT (28/02, BT Sport 1)

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Fofana, Justin and Maddison are all out for Leicester. We have very few injuries.

Just dumped out of the Europa League on Thursday night whilst we're on a high from progressing through when it looked bleak.

Leicester 1-0 Arsenal coming up. :lol:

[Marc Overmars]

Bit tired of getting brushed aside by fucking Leicester all the time.

How about we win this one for once?

1-2.

[GP]

0-3

[Mac76]

3-0 Vardy hatter

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Holding is available for selection.

Therefore apart from Runarsson and I am not sure he really counts, we have a full squad to choose from. :faint:

[Letters]

We’ll lose and lose well.

[Gooner23]

Hate playing Leicester, they don't even have to change their game plan against us. Let us have the ball without doing much with it, and then pick us off on the counter with that wanker Vardy.

[Marc Overmars]

Xhaka and Elneny start.

As does Willian.

:rose:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Leicester City: Schmeichel, Castagne, Soyuncu, Evans, Thomas, Ndidi, Tielamans, Pereira, Iheanacho, Barnes, Vardy
Subs: Ward, Albrighton, Amartey, Under, Choudhury, Mendy, Fuchs, Daley-Campbell, Tavares

Arsenal: Leno, Cedric, David Luiz, Pablo Mari, Tierney, Xhaka, Elneny, Pepe, Smith Rowe, Willian, Lacazette.
Subs: Ryan, Holding, Bellerin, Partey, Ceballos, Odegaard, Saka, Martinelli, Aubameyang.

Dear oh dear. :haha:

[dazthegooner]

Did have a feeling we might get something today Arteta trying he best to make this unlikely <_<

[Globalgunner]

Xhaka and Elneny start.

As does Willian.

:rose:

Clunk and Clunker assisted by Granny Willian

[dazthegooner]

Can see the pass completion between defence and midfield will be nearly 100% though that will be back and forth to each other.

[Mac76]

F*****g hell what an awful lineup :ilt:

I change my prediction - 6-0 Vardy double hatter

[WMUG]

Xhakneny plus Willian.

This is gonna be a drab, dreary affair, isn't it?

[Gooner23]

Don't have an issue with Europa being prioritised at this stage given how far off we are in the league. Won't make this any better to watch though..

[Mac76]

Xhakneny plus Willian.

This is gonna be a drab, dreary affair, isn't it?

i dunno i think there will be a lot of goals - just not scored by us that's all... :(

[Gooner23]

That is bad bad bad defending

[McNamara That Ghost...]

1-0 Tielemans. :faint:

[Gooner23]

Horrendous from Mari after the Xhaka mistake

[Mac76]

they're going on about the defenders but Willian and Xhaka totally fucked up there at he beginning of the move, what a couple of useless ****s

[Mac76]

lame from ESR

[Gooner23]

Good chance for us as Smith Rowe gets in behind the Leicester defence, Willian didn't have the legs to find the space for the square ball and a simple tap in

[Gooner23]

they're going on about the defenders but Willian and Xhaka totally fucked up there at he beginning of the move, what a couple of useless ****s

Bad from the two clowns but what on earth was Mari doing, virtually sprinted away from the ball.. pub league standard defending

[Mac76]

yeah the defending was bad too, no question

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Martinelli needs to show more in training though.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Pelanty!!!

[Mac76]

pelanty!

[Mac76]

dive?

[Mac76]

i think ndidi touches him

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Pel taken away by VAR, freekick instead.

[Bumble]

annoyingly var worked.

[Gooner23]

Fuck sake, probably the right decision but we get no luck whatsoever with VAR.. if that was certain other teams it would be a pen.

[Mac76]

yeah the right decision sadly

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Barnes shot, Leno saves it, kinda.

What function will Xhaka and Elneny have in this game now?

[Mac76]

great driving run from Tierney there but no-one supported him, Willian just stood and watched

[Mac76]

Barnes shot, Leno saves it, kinda.

What function will Xhaka and Elneny have in this game now?

if we don't see Martinelli in this game at some point it's 'Arteta out' for me

[Gooner23]

Partey on at half time I reckon

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Pepe should be burying it.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Willian shot, wide. :faint:

[Gooner23]

Will Willian ever get a shot on target again :lol:

[Mac76]

willian :doh:

[Mac76]

willian wouldn't make it into most Championship starting elevens yet alone PL

[dazthegooner]

willian wouldn't make it into most League one starting elevens yet alone PL

:good:

[Mac76]

:good:

:lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Was that Xhaka with the rancid pass towards the corner flag?

[Gooner23]

Tierney about to hammer it on edge of box and ref blows for a non existent head injury, drop ball back to Leicester.. that's bollox.

[Mac76]

Tierney about to hammer it on edge of box and ref blows for a non existent head injury, drop ball back to Leicester.. that's bollox.

:gp:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Thomas booked. Run at him!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

DAVID LUIZ!!!! Yes!!!

[GP]

Great goal!

Willian :bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Willian assist. :haha:

[Mac76]

goal!

[radford78]

Great free kick and a nice goal 1-1

[Mac76]

Willian assist. :haha:

we'll never get rid of him now...

[dazthegooner]

No chance of VAR with that one :)

[Mac76]

great header tbf

[Gooner23]

Get in! For all Luiz's known faults I was expecting more goals from him

[GP]

Get in! For all Luiz's known faults I was expecting more goals from him

Agreed, he should take more free kicks

[McNamara That Ghost...]

ESR off, Odegaard on.

Keown devastated that a dirty foreigner has to come on for him.

[Mac76]

ESR crocked, looks like Odegaard coming on

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Pel?

[Mac76]

Get in! For all Luiz's known faults I was expecting more goals from him

i just don't think he's a defender, he should play in midfield, it's wierd he's ended up at CB, it just doesn't suit him at all

[Gooner23]

Stone wall pen, even VAR can't rule that one out

[Mac76]

Pel?

got to be surely?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

PELANTY!

[Mac76]

why does he even get asked to look at that?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

LACAZETTE!!!!

[radford78]

2-1 laca penalty!!!!

[GP]

Well deserved.

[Mac76]

yes!

[Mac76]

schmeichel :haha:

[Mac76]

got to say we recovered well there

Tierney's been brilliant

[Gooner23]

I know the bar is really low but that was Willian's best half for us since the opening day, him and Pepe have played well and Laca is linking play nicely. Good to see the back up players offering something for a change.

[dazthegooner]

Arteta hopefully said to him your not a Chelski player anymore isn't it about time you put in a shift for Arsenal?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Barnes is dead.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Barnes off, Under on.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

How did Pepe avoid getting a header on target there? :lol:

[radford78]

3-1 pepe!!!!

[GP]

PEPSI!!!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

PEPE!!!

What a goal!

[Mac76]

3-1 :scarf:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Another Willian assist.

Always rated him tbf. :bow:

[Globalgunner]

Pretty soon I will wake up and this will have been a dream.

[Gooner23]

Willian is world class, never doubted

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Good work Cedric.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

That was awful from Odegaard.

David Luiz clears up his mess.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Elneny with a telling defensive contribution. :unsure:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Pablo Mari. :bow:

[GP]

Well done Mari

[Gooner23]

Vardy desperately trying to con the ref into getting Mari sent off

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Elneny off, Partey on.

[dazthegooner]

Partey time :)

[Gooner23]

Keown talks some nonsense

[dazthegooner]

For a change.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Evans off injured, Amartey on.

[Gooner23]

Willian show boating out there now :haha:

[Mac76]

xhaka goes for an oscar :haha:

[dazthegooner]

Wouldn't have surprised me if he argued himself to a yellow.

[Mac76]

i really like the way we're pressing

[Mac76]

Wouldn't have surprised me if he argued himself to a yellow.

he needs to get one soon, he's running out of time

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Cedric. :doh:

[Mac76]

cedric messes up

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Pepe, mate. Odegaard waas in acres of space.

[Mac76]

pepe should have passed to odegaard then

[Mac76]

awful corner by odegaard

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Well struck from Tierney but wide.

[dazthegooner]

Wasn't far off

[Mac76]

tierney rocket - just wide

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Lacazette off, Auba on for some +1's. :pray:

[Mac76]

auba coming on

Martinelli :rose:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Auba shoots, wide.

Great from Pepe before that.

[Mac76]

this is amazing we're taking these f*****s apart

[dazthegooner]

William MOM

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Clash of heads says Keown. :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Seven added minutes.

[dazthegooner]

7 minutes about right.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Partey shot, Schmeichel saves.

Partey is going to belt one in at some point.

Tierney booked.

[Gooner23]

We should have 4 or 5 really

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Iheanacho. :haha:

What a miss.

[Mac76]

iheanacho :haha:

[GP]

Great win

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Leicester 1-3 Arsenal, FT. :bow:

Arteta. :bow:

Owns Rodgers for the second time this season.

[Mac76]

yes!

told you that was a good starting lineup :whistle:

[Mac76]

all we need now is for Bumley to take out K*** and it's a good weekend :)

[radford78]

Really good win. Pepe and Willian both had good games. The whole team did really well. Puts us back above Leeds and in the top half of the table again..................actually above Spurs and into 9th

[Letters]

As does Willian.

:rose:
:d

[IBK]

From BBC...

Willian created a game-high three goalscoring chances against Leicester and posted a 97% pass success rate (34/35), the best of any player in the game.

:wacko:
