Sunderland v Arsenal Saturday Nov 8th 530 PM

Dom

Tactics Are they as attack minded vs the big boys?

Honestly I haven't watched them against the traditional top 6 teams but they were commited to playing risky one-touch football in the games I did watch. They are an entertaining team largely because of the risks they take in midfield and up front.

USArsenal

We can still beat this team even with the threadbare attack. All of the front 3 can score goals, and we also have Eze behing them.

People are waxing poetic about Sunderland (and they have been good), but the only 'top' team they beat were the inconsistent Chelsea. They lost to Man Utd and i guess they tied Villa.. But they havent played us, Pool, City, etc.

USArsenal

Sunderland will push early, we just have to withstand it.

USArsenal

They will try to press and be physical for a little while. And the crowd will cheer every time they knock into us.

Merino down, elbowed in the head.

Gunner89

This intensity is unsustainable for 60 mins+

Tactics

That's an elbow, surely worth a VAR check ?

Bring Back Kerrea Gilbert

I mean, have you known ANYTHING like it?

QuincyAbeyie

There goes our fourth striker.

Qwiss

Merino is tall, why's his elbow so high?

Tactics

Cala up front ?

He's very dangerous in and around the box

Lukazan

That is a stone wall penalty. I'm sorry.

And some people on here believe we aren't reffed differently.. Lmfao

Qwiss

Lukazan just think about that Saliba one where he headed that guy

Panda

Nwaneri up top? Lol Calafiori? Even if poor Merino gets up can't imagine he will be much use 😔

USArsenal

Merino looks ok, i think he will continue. He looks like he just wants to get on with it now.

Don Pacifico

I understand needing your arm to provide a bit of leverage for the header but the force used...I dunno.

Lukazan

Don Pacifico A flap of the hand, forearm even, across the face in those situations.. Okay. But the elbow? That's a penalty.

Coombs

Don Pacifico I understand needing your arm to provide a bit of leverage for the header

I've never understood this argument. Doesn't matter to me at all why you commit a foul. Foul is a foul. If a player can't win a header without committing an infringement, that's their problem.

USArsenal

Decent attempt by Rice..

Big Willie

That co commentator is a wanker.

USArsenal

Ahhhhh what the hell was that stupid short corner there? Waste.
