Arsenal v Leicester (13/08, 15:00 BST)

[HCZ_Reborn]

Anyway 4-2 FT

Good result, good performance for the most part but it has to be said it’s a bit of a blot to our copy book to have conceded twice. Ramsdale been a bit all over the place this season, let’s hope he settles down a bit.

Yes it was Saliba’s error for the first goal but both are guilty of not communicating

It tends to favour teams with big squads for sure

Of course. It’s another measure which favours the big clubs.

Errr. Aren't we a big club?

[HCZ_Reborn]

Errr. Aren't we a big club?

Very good

[HCZ_Reborn]

Anyway all joking aside

Looking at the goals we conceded again. If you go by All or Nothing, Ramsdale takes conceding goals very personally and he should be distraught with both goals.

The first goal is purely lack of communication. Saliba for me does the right thing, he doesn’t get the call from Ramsdale and so he goes to intercept. Ramsdale should have been out of his goal and claiming that.

The second goal his positioning is good to close down the space for Maddison but the fact that Maddison is able to squeeze the shot between his legs is mortifying. Bad day at the office for the keeper, and we need him to improve upon what has been a shaky start to the season.

Yes.

What’s your point, caller?

Very good

Sigh. Not really.
The way the game has gone in the PL era has tipped the balance increasingly in favour of the rich clubs. It’s designed to keep the top few clubs noses in the trough at the expense of the rest.
This is a bad thing.
But it does also benefit us.
See?

We aren’t a big club, we don’t have a big club mentality. At the moment calling us a big club is like calling United a big club

There are two big clubs in the league currently, that’s it.

Can we become a big club again? Yes of course but it’s a long way off

Bullshit. Obviously “big” is pretty subjective, and comparative.
But there’s no metric by which we can be sensibly described as anything other than a big club.

Haven’t won a title in 18 years and counting

Haven’t even appeared in Europe’s premier competition for five years

I’d say that’s a metric by which to say we aren’t a big club

I agree it’s subjective but having a reasonably big stadium and fan base isn’t really the criteria
