Newcastle vs Arsenal, Guy Fawkes Night 17:30 BST with a bonfire banger

Qwiss

daredevil it's crazy. You could understand before VAR that they were just not seen but how do you review it and think "yeah that's within the laws of the game".

daredevil

Qwiss .

I can buy the referee missing it, but definitely not VAR clearing it. That's beyond shocking. I bet it was another. It's too late, the games gone on too long or some bullshit like that.

Put fucking mics on these cunts and live CCTV recording everything that's happening in the room and a 24 hour channel scrutinising them.

Pepe LeFrits

Think Havertz needs to be subbed at HT, he can't make another tackle or the ref will send him off. Shame as he's been a good focal point for us in that half, one of his better games. Pity ESR isn't on the bench, I think he'd kill Newcastle on the counter.

Don Pacifico

Pepe LeFrits I get what you're saying but I do think we need his physicality to help us break through. Not sure the alternatives will do what we need against this defence.

Don Pacifico

Qwiss it's a case of fine margins against a well drilled defence. There have been a few passages of play where we've moved the ball well.

Qwiss

Don Pacifico yeah the midfield has battled well but we are lacking that bit of class going forward to give us the extra bit to grab a goal.

Need to keep this up though, we just need a moment, set piece maybe.

Meatwad

daredevil
game has gone on too long only applies when it's to our benefit. the chelsea game was going on for like 5 mins while they checked.

Segway

Madness as well that Burn can just scythe Saka as he pleases. Newcastle are as dirty a team as I've seen.

KingslandBarge

Segway and they all lost their heads when we matched and bested them with physicality and intensity, for which they weren't properly punished.

Segway

KingslandBarge Yep. Kai and Rice have imposed themselves brilliantly against this pack of brutes.

Sicario2 - Tier 1

Fuck Newcastle.

Kai playing well, his best 45 mins in an Arsenal shirt.

I really don’t like him as it’s £65m down the drain but I’m rooting for him.

KingslandBarge

Sicario2 - Tier 1 hope you're rooting for Eddie too, he's been in the mix

Qwiss

Don Pacifico that's the problem, his physicality is limited now. Tough call for Arteta.

Sicario2 - Tier 1

Don Pacifico

Yep, keep Kai on. Trossard for Eddie in 60th min (if it’s still 0-0 then) and let’s take it to these cunts.

Pepe LeFrits

Don Pacifico Horribly risky though, Newcastle are going to do everything they can get him booked again. Every time he goes near them they'll go down. I'd put Trossard on for him

Panda

Has turned into a really ugly game. Can imagine how wild they'll all go if they score 😭🤢

Also didn't know Kai had that sort of fire in him 😂💥

KingslandBarge

Panda one reason why I think we're missing Ødegaard - think the opportunities are going to fall to the attacking midfielders ghosting in or on the edge.

Don Pacifico

Qwiss true that. So long as he's not going to ground, we're probably okay. Maybe...

HomeSteak

Qwiss easy call, I know it, you know it, he knows it. First foul he is sent off. Lets see if Arteta knows it.

Sicario2 - Tier 1

KingslandBarge

Yeah he’s shown up and least showing intensity. That’s the minimum I ask for.

Coombs

I know I'm a broken record on this, but Eddie Howe is a total hack. His entire game relies on this northern English underdog narrative that has been bought and paid for by a criminal totalitarian regime halfway round the world.

daredevil

Coombs

You mean to say he's not better than Arteta?

Segway

Coombs It's his innocent looks that are so deceiving as his well. He looks like a school boy but he sets his team up in ways that would make Simeone blush

Don Pacifico

Pepe LeFrits they've got a few bookings themselves. It is risky, I agree but I still think the alternative is worse.

Gazza M

ahhhh right. makes sense

Qwiss

Gazza M just a fair forearm to head challenge

Segway

Gazza M That can't be right.

swider

Havertz must be subbed otherwise he is very likely to receive a red card. Our midfield looks slightly better than in majority of matches this season, probably because we do not play from the back at very slow pace, inviting pressure anymore and midfielders are playing slightly closer to each other. Our front line has been horrible, they need to wake up.

Sicario2 - Tier 1

swider

Yep Mr nice guy Saka has to show more aggression in 2nd half
