Premier Lg EPL Matchday 13, 14 & 15 - On Optus Sport

[TY24]

Frustrating points to drop. Credit to Fulham, they had very little of it but when their moment came they made it count. Something we don’t do anywhere near enough.

Arsenal really need to find a Rory Delap type

Time to dust off Peter Crouch

 

[Topkent]

Yeah don't reckon arsenal will challenge if they are going back to back games without an open play goal.

 

[hawkman]

Think City have a buyback clause. If Arsenal come sniffing they look to activate it

Also nothing like Rory Delap

These games in this weather are always tough especially when teams have low blocks.

Also didn't score against UTD from open play. Just my opinion, the points totals are so high now you need to get alot right not just parts of the game.

It also doesn't help that 2 seasons on we still haven't adequately replaced Xhaka at L8.

And no healthy LBs means Timber, who had been playing very well at RB with Ode/Saka, had to move to LB to accommodate T. Piddy, who spent his time in midfield anyway.
Not sure why you wouldn't keep Timber at RB which was yielding goals, assists and chances and have Partey do the Zinchenko role at LB since we dominated possession and Fulham struggled to generate chances.

Either way, frustrating result. No chance anyone in Jan is available to us to fix our issues at LW or ST either.

 

[jod23]

Lovely result. I always loved Fulham.

 

[RossFC]

 

[Topkent]

Exactly my point.
He's almost won the league doing it so it doesn't take a massive chance but I feel like Arteta is just slightly too defensive. He needs to take the breaks off the team more often. I'm not sure if he was injured by why not give zinchenko a go in midfield when Odegaard was out?
Arsenal could have beaten city multiple times the last few years but we're too cautious of losing.

We scored 13 goals in the three games prior. I understand your point but scoring from corners is not illegal. It’s part of the game and we’ve found a way to capitalise on it. Other teams can do it themselves but haven’t.

That's fine, but with that sort of dominance you should be nearly impossible to take points off.

Cucurella did a Stevie G

Big Dom!

The corner stuff is funny because you have to create in open play to earn the corners. The corners against Man U that we scored from came from shots on target that Onana saved.

If he whiffs those chances against us like he did the other night, we score 2 open play goals and this Corners FC stuff quietens down.

 

[hawkman]

Cucurella did a Stevie G

And another Slippy G

 

[moomba]

Time to change your boots cucarella.

 

[moomba]

Don't see the problem with arsenal scoring from corners. Big challenge is for other teams to stop them.

 

[moomba]

That's a big loss for the coaching/medical team when you risk bringing back someone early and they get injured again.

It doesn't look the same injury at least. Not even sure you can blame conditoning when it is 10 minutes in

 

[hawkman]

Should be red

 

[moomba]

Caicedo has got that tackle in him. Seems to get away with it a lot.

 

[Topkent]

Get ****ed
