Arsenal v Leicester - Saturday 28th September 3pm KO GMT

I'll chalk the panic up to a freak chain of events (deflection+worldie from nothing+the kirkland/given effect), because that first half was insanely dominant from us. we just need to keep grafting ugly wins until odegaard and merino get back in the groove

Qwiss

Burnwinter strikers have bad games, problem is we have no options. Very telling that when we needed a goal Jesus didn't get more than 2 minutes.

Burnwinter

Qwiss Jesus is the biggest problem in our squad in terms of cost-benefit. Blatantly nothing more than a rotation player.

On the bright side Nwaneri already looks like a bit of a good luck charm in these home games, whole stadium lifted when he was introduced.

goon

I mean on one hand statistically we win that game by 4 or 5 without conceding if you played it again 10 times. On the other hand we were a bit disjointed at the start of that second half which opened the door a little for that statistical anomoly.

Anyway, we got the win. And it's pretty clear that Ethan is incredibly special.

goon

Very correct

Big Willie

@Qwiss mych prefer watching our games on your people's channel. Irish pundits clear of anything sky sports has to offer.

QuincyAbeyie

Big Willie what channels are these?

Qwiss

Big Willie I was watching on some foreign thing that has Shearer and Given on now. Assume it was Premier Sports it was on?

daredevil

That was completely self inflicted. Calafiori is very chaotic at the moment. Offers a lot going forward but defensively has been poor.

RocktheCasbah

Never in any doubt.

😱

Burnwinter

naz That's a paddlin'

Bring Back Kerrea Gilbert Jesus' quality of strike and the fact he chose that wrong option in the first place...

Had Jesus managed a better shot, the keeper would have probably parried it to safety, given how this game was going. For once, we were profiting from Jesus' lack of finishing prowess.

Big Willie

QuincyAbeyie what channels are these?

Premier Sports

Qwiss

Burnwinter Nwaneri came on and pushed the issue, looked really bright. He's a difference maker.

Thought Sterling was very quiet in comparison.

Sicario2 - Tier 1

That was a fucking wake up call. Got very lucky.

We can’t go through this every game. We won’t win the title like this lads.

Ok Merse.

Edit: I'll actually say wins like this is what will give us a good chance. Freak goals, wonder strikes and superhero goalkeeping performances yet we kept plugging away and scored twice more.

Gazza M

Big Willie we'd be a gillion miles away mate. a gillion miles

Bring Back Kerrea Gilbert

Big Willie plenty of days like today in 01/02 I remember. In fact we lost at home by the same scoreline to fucking Charlton.

Richard Wright 🤦‍♂️

daredevil

Jesus was on for two minutes, his parried shot leads to another goal, yet the knives are all out for him. Tells you how deep agendas can run.

If you rewatch the play, there were two defenders on him who blocked off the side pass to Havertz, not to mention that going for a goal wasn't a bad choice at all.

Qwiss

daredevil he didn't get on until then because Arteta knows he's not up to it.

He was terrible there. Classic Jesus, waits too long to make a decision and they takes a poor shot.

Big Willie

Gazza M be a gillion miles away mate. a gillion miles

Disagree. Play like we did and we'll comfortably win this game 99 times out of 100. However if all those things happen to prevent us, we need to pull something out the bag, which we did today.

Big Willie

Qwiss I was watching on some foreign thing that has Shearer and Given on now. Assume it was Premier Sports it was on?

Yeah Premier Sports. Couple Irish guys I don't recognise. Certainly not Shearere and Given for me.

Gazza M

Qwiss jesus has been a mess for us. he was the right signing at the right time, but we're pushing on as a team and he's going to become surplus to requirements like he was at city

daredevil

Qwiss

Terrible is when he feints outside and inside, runs into a defender and them bumbles over. In this case, he made a decision, took on his markers and got a shot away.
