[Marc Overmars]

Come on you Gunners!

Big one this, we’re probably going to drop points against Liverpool so need to keep that cushion here. Leicester are not as strong anymore but still have enough players to cause us problems if we’re not at the races.

2-1.

[Gooner23]

Massive game, we really can't afford to lose any momentum.

[I am invisible]

Need to blow them away early on this one so we can afford to rest some key players late on

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Decent idea from Saka.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Nearly from Xhaka down the line to Martinelli.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Schmeichel saves from Martinelli, wouldn't have counted though.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

PARTEY!!!!

[Marc Overmars]

Get in!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Why aren't Leicester wearing their home kit? It annoys me.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Partey hits the woodwork!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Martinelli deflected shot, easy for Schmeichel.

Saka. :bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Ramsdale stops Barnes getting decent kind of angle.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Pushed out by Ramsdale and great challenge from White afterwards.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Martinelli shot blocked.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Decent effort from Lacazette. Saved.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Iheancho get a yellow for that.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Godegaard. :bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

What a save from Ramsdale!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Performance has tapered off quite a bit as the half has gone on.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

1-0 HT.

[Gooner23]

Performance has tapered off quite a bit as the half has gone on.

Yeah, bit reminiscent of earlier in the season where we'd score but then drop off. Just need to step it up again 2nd half and put that Leicester defence under a bit more pressure.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

More corners would be nice as they seem to be hopeless defending them. :ninja:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Tyler and Smudger are back, eventually.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

White with the flick but wide it goes.

[Letters]

That Xhaka handball :haha:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Schmeichel saves from Saka.

Great move.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Cleared off the line!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Pel for handball?

[GP]

Handball! Clear pelanty!

[GP]

Got to be a pel and a red!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Great save from Soyuncu.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Here we go.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Pelanty!!

[GP]

How is only a yellow??

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Only a yellow for Soyuncu. Um.

[GP]

LACA!!!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

LACAZETTE!!!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Schmeichel. :haha:

What a prick.

[Marc Overmars]

LACA!!

Get the fuck in

[Letters]

How is only a yellow??

I guess because the other dude cleared it off the line anyway.
I’m not convinced the handball made any difference.
Not 100% convinced he did handball it, I watched it a million times and still wasn’t entirely sure.

Great pel.

[dazthegooner]

Schmeichel. :haha:

What a prick.

Yep a case of "Do you know who my dad is?"

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Yep a case of "Do you know who my dad is?"

Jamie Redknapp forgets.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Well done Tierney.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Ricardo went off for Justin. Mendy off for Ndidi.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Iheanacho shot but Ramsdale saves.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Iheanacho off, Daka on.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Laca header wide.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Martinelli off for Smith Rowe.

[Letters]

Xhaka thinking he’s Messi.
He wasn’t.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Saka off, Pepe on.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Lacazette off, Nketiah on.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

2-0 FT. Easy really.

[GP]

Great win. Important win.

Arteta :bow:

[selassie]

Professional performance, got to keep this up.

[Letters]

Exactly this.
We are starting to look pretty good. Not Liverpool or City good but a solid team who can churn out results. We are giving ourselves a great chance of top 4

I am starting to believe now. To be fair the team look desperate for it too, there is an element of big determination in all of our games now. We have a way to go but if we keep up this current form / performance level we should be ok.

[Master Splinter]

Odegaard is ridiculous at the moment.

He and Partey have been outstanding for the last few months.

The only negative in this team currently is the decision-making from the forwards. Having a ruthless goalscorer would obviously make a difference, but Martinelli and Saka still sometimes show how young they are when they lack conviction at crucial moments. If they continue to improve as they have done so far in their careers, then with an additional forward or two and with Odegaard orchestrating everything behind them, we could be seeing some brilliant attacking football next season.

[Marc Overmars]

Excellent 3 points.

Really looking forward to the Liverpool game. Hopefully we play with the same intensity as we did against City, with a bit of luck we should be confident of getting a result. Even a point would be very useful as it’s one of our games in hand. Under the lights with crowd behind them, let’s do this shit.

Aye. Most of all, I enjoyed watching us play today. There was some really nice passing, they moved the ball forwards well and they just played well as a team.
If we miss out on top 4 then I think I can forgive that so long as I keep seeing that and seeing them play with passion. We know they're not the finished product but so long as they keep fighting for each other and for the fans then that's enough for me. It feels like the team and fans are together again for the first time in a long time. Long may it continue!

Me too, I look forward to our games and enjoy watching us play. We are playing really good football and defending relatively well too.

It's how I feel about us missing out on top 4 this season and if we do it won't be through lack of effort. To be honest the game coming up next week against Liverpool could define our season, if we get a decent result....draw or win, then I think the confidence levels in the team will be that high we'll continue this great run of form.

Whilst I accept Liverpool are a great side, I am quietly confident about the game, even if we lose like we did against City that is big progress.

I’m not sure it’s progress to keep losing these matches! :lol:
I get what you mean though. Just think this team is ready for a big statement result.

If we beat Liverpool I’ll be very confident of finishing 4th. Draw would be more than decent though.

[Mac76]

Good performance yesterday, especially the second half, didn't give them a look-in

Liverpool will be difficult but looking forward to it, we should definitely be in with a decent chance as long we turn up with our A-game

:lol:

I meant the performance, but I know you knew that anyway. If we put in a performance like we did against City.

Agree a draw would be a good result for us.
