Ray yet I think Trossard is the only player we have who I think, at least tonight, has shown he can control the ball in a positive way that doesn’t involve him having to take a touch or a second to set himself and turn. He can take it in his stride and move the ball to where he wants to go. He’s just not been able to do anything with it, or when he’s got a yard of space from it there’s no one else about or they’re flat footed and not moving.
Gunner89 at least he has the ability to pass it forward. Unlike the guy he subbed out.
est
He just doesn't work there, never has for us
Gunner89 I agree. Doesn't change the fact that he has the ability to pass it though. So even though it's not a position his best suited for, there's at least some hope he can be more productive than Odegaard.
We just need to keep rubbing against them. We're gonna get the opportunity to grab a winner soon.
Gunner89 Kai is shit as 8, and an improvement on Ode at10, still not great mind you.
Marti and Dowman to come on
Good ball from Madueke.
Don't forget we will be the ones giving it our all next mid-week because teta is dithering with subs till now while city will be fully rested for next weekend clash
xG is now a massive .15
Handbrake to full effect
backpass sideways backpass
Sporting playing like they are the away side, no intent at all to go on and win the match
Tactics
Funny? They're the one who have the 1 excellent chance and another decent one
They can easily do what they did last time in the europa, take 2 tight games to penalties
xG of .15 is an embarassment
Tactics conventional wisdom is you keep it tight away and try and win your home games. I don’t see that teams fear us scoring against them, and we give up chances. That wisdom doesn’t hold against this Arsenal team. The pressure will be on us next week if it stays like this. They can sit in, hit us on the break and know that they’re in with a shout.
Martinelli did more in 5 minutes than trossard did all game
Should have started with Martinelli.
Gunner89 Fair enough if that’s their plan but I think they will regret not trying to get a win here because I think we’ll do them at the Emirates
How many fouls is the LB gonna commit before he gets booked
Tactics sorry, my fault. Took him for a booking in my bet
Tam I fancy us to beat them at the Emirates but I guess we shall see
And that matters how?
If we played with more impetus today, we wouldn't need to go and expend all our energy next midweek and then go to the etihad in 3 days all exhausted
This ref loves Arujo so much
Qwiss around 9 fouls he whistled, and 2-3 more he let him get away with. Calafiori again embarrassed
Not one even half decent chance
utterly embarassing
players are just passing like cowards
Might expend our energy and win at the emirates to then go to city in a few days after all tired
Classic teta tactics to go from quadruple to nothing
