The Arsenal v Spuds, 12.30pm, 1 October

[Mac76]

I'm always pessimistic about this tie, with the chance for them to kick us off the top and go above us they will be up for it, just hope we play well.

They'll be going into the game a goal up as they can count on a dodgy pel, so we need to be on target at least twice to win

[HCZ_Reborn]

Not really getting why Zinchenko is starting now Tierney is fit

[Mac76]

Not really getting why Zinchenko is starting now Tierney is fit

Arteta's obsession with Guardiolaball blinding him to the fact Tierney's the better defender, Tierney should def. be starting this game

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Zinchenko will help overload midfield probably.

I'm alright with it.

[HCZ_Reborn]

Zinchenko will help overload midfield probably.

I'm alright with it.

You don’t think it would help having a left back that knows what a left back does?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Arsenal: Ramsdale, White, Saliba, Gabriel, Zinchenko, Partey, Xhaka, Odegaard, Martinelli, Jesus, Saka.
Subs: Turner, Tierney, Nketiah, Holding, Tomiyasu, Vieira, Lokonga, Nelson, Marquinhos.

Spuds: Lloris, Romero, Dier, Lenglet, Emerson, Hojbjerg, Bentancur, Perisic, Richarlison, Kane, Son.
Subs: Forster, Doherty, Skipp, Sanchez, Gil, Sessegnon, Spencer, Sarr, Bissouma.

In a functional team, sure. The game has moved on a bit from that though.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

No Kulusevski helps too.

[HCZ_Reborn]

In a functional team, sure. The game has moved on a bit from that though.

From having a left back that knows where to be positionally and deal with wingers who can cross ?

Yes I get that he’s the Swiss Army knife of players…but doesn’t help that he doesn’t appear to understand his main function

[HCZ_Reborn]

Neither Arsenal or Spurs have an abundance of quality on the bench

We’ve got Tierney, Vieira and they’ve got Bissouma

I don’t know what their injury issues are but apart from Smith Rowe and Elneny we have a fully fit squad

Suggests to me we really need to buy more players just to beef up the squad.

[21_GOONER_SALUTE]

Zinchenko will help overload midfield probably.

I'm alright with it.

So am I.

I think Tierney is a class player but Arteta system works better with Zinchenko, since he's refused to give Partey a partner that doesn't need babysitting.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Come on Arsenal!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Oof glanced on by Xhaka.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Most awful corner in history. :haha:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

That's a low head not a high foot.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Kane's freekick as good as Martinelli's corner.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Great save Ramsdale!

[GP]

Xhaka close!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Oof Xhaka.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

"It's unpossible" - Martin Keown.

[GP]

PARTEYYYYY!!!!!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

PARTEY!!!!! HOLY SHIT IT HAPPENED!!!

[GP]

What a strike!

[Xhaka Can’t]

He scuffed it

Perisic. :lol:

[GP]

Thats a dive

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Utter chaos from Saka doing too much onwards.

[Xhaka Can’t]

Utter panic in defence

1-1 Kane.

[Marc Overmars]

Careless

[mandela8]

Work so hard for everything they get.

Give goals aways for absolutely fuck all.

[Xhaka Can’t]

Stand still and Kane looks a cunt

[Xhaka Can’t]

Work so hard for everything they get.

Give goals aways for absolutely fuck all.

It happens all the time. You just wait for it, knowing it will be inevitable.

Come on we were lucky not to hand out another one there

Edit: it’s coming

Exactly.

It's when not if , with this team.

[Ralpheroo72]

Saka and our defence looking most likely to win this for Tottenham

[mandela8]

Gabriel's head has gone, man.

White is pointless.

[Marc Overmars]

Work so hard for everything they get.

Give goals aways for absolutely fuck all.

Perfect way to summarise this team.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

All gone scruffy.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

So close from Jesus.

[mandela8]

For anyone not watching

Arsenal 90% possession.

Spurs 90% more likely to score.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

1-1 HT.

All ours and then we fucked it up with chaos.

[GP]

Half time.

By far the better side. Referee is a bellend. How are refs STILL falling for their diving? Kane and Son every week.

[Xhaka Can’t]

I fucking hate Kevin Bacon

[Mac76]

Good start but we're giving them too much space on the flanks and Saka's messing about cost us dear

I'm at the opposite end to the pel - was it legit?

[Xhaka Can’t]

Yeah, it was legit.

[mandela8]

Good start but we're giving them too much space on the flanks and Saka's messing about cost us dear

100%

Could've cleared the ball twice before it, ffs.

[Mac76]

You can see why Richarlison works for them , total cheat but dangerous

[Xhaka Can’t]

100%

Could've cleared the ball twice before it, ffs.

I wonder what percentage of goals conceded are a direct result of us trying to play it out.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Come on you idiots.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

JESUS!!

[Ollie the Optimist]

Saka must have earnt at least an extra mark there from Mandela for that assist :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Saliba is really fucking good hey

[mandela8]

Anyone see Saka running out the way of that shot there, ffs??

Incredible


Would love a gif of that.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Jesus should've buried it.

[mandela8]

Saka must have earnt at least an extra mark there from Mandela for that assist :lol:

wot


Assist??

Get tae fuck, man.

[Ollie the Optimist]

wot


Assist??

Get tae fuck, man.

Well his run and shot created the mistake

[mandela8]

Well his run and shot created the mistake

I'm not ever sure you're being serious here.

The defender fucked up. Then the keeper fucked up. Then Jesus poked it in.


This is exactly the utter desperation to credit Saka with anything I speak of.

Hell probably get the official mom now, watch this.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

If that had been an assist. :haha:

:yikes:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Header on target but a bit soft from Jesus.

Chances are coming easier now.

[Ollie the Optimist]

Red card?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Awful challenge.

Royal sent off!

[GP]

Emerson Quarter Pounder SENT OFF!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Saka shot, looked it went miles wide.

[GP]

XHAKA!!!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

XHAKA!!!!

[Ralpheroo72]

Xhakinho!!!!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Come on, let's hammer them. :pray:

[GP]

5 changes :lol:

[GP]

Jenas is a such a fucking idiot

[GP]

Spurs changing to a 7-1-1

[Ollie the Optimist]

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Saliba booked.

[McNamara That Ghost...]
