Premier Lg EPL Matchday 7 - On Optus Sport

[samFFC]

Frustrating. Pretty comfortable before the goal but they could easily have scored 3 that half.

Bernardo on the right slows things down too much. Savinho or Doku to come on and get behind the defence. Grealish doing OK on the left.

I'd consider bringing walker on against Traire and Robinson. Rico off or into the midfield.

Lewis getting overawed on that side. Definitely need Walker on.

 

[RossFC]

I see Kovacic has turned into Rodri now.

 

[TY24]

Yet another case of us not taking our chances and getting sucker punched on the break. Happens far too often against these lower sides.

 

[TY24]

Brilliant from Kai.

Arteta didn't learn after Villa last year. Havertz up top has resulted in goals, he brings others into the game, he is poor in midfield.
Today he has Jesus up top offering nothing, and Havertz in midfield.

Needs to bring Martinelli on for Sterling, Havertz up top, and Jesus off for Trossard.

 

[TY24]

Today he has Jesus up top offering nothing, and Havertz in midfield.

I think it's a case of resting some tired legs.

But yeah, these were my exact thoughts when I saw the lineup.

It highlights how thin we are up front.

Jesus up top might have worked if Trossard was l8 but Havertz just doesn't work in that role.
If you need to give Havertz a breather then he shouldn't be in midfield.

So casual from Bernardo. Got lucky there.

 

[dirty2]

I like cauliflower/California

Yeah I know that's not his name.. but to drunk to give a shit.

 

[hawkman]

Who is a worse one on one finisher? Adama Traore or Werner?

 

[Frank Bunn]

Lewis getting overawed on that side. Definitely need Walker on.

Pep does Pep. Brings Walker on for Akanji. Keeps Lewis.

Traore outpaces Walker! But still fluffs it.

 

[TY24]

If that's onside then that is breathtaking from Saka

Califiori love

Can't get that automated VAR into the league quick enough.

 

[SM]

Glad jatz gets to be happy and back Cooper.

 

[hawkman]

Really? Would hardly call it breathtaking. It is good but it's not even the best assist today.

 

[Magma]

cant remember the last time we had less control on a game than this. maybe against liverpool sometime.

 

[Magma]

ah yes kick it real hard at goal works again

 

[Frank Bunn]

Doku!!!

 

[TY24]

Both special, one was inch perfect timing and placement and one was a phenomenally freakish bit of quick thinking.

Fulham's first goal was the better one though, no arguments here.

 

[Topkent]

Very frustrating but Arsenal certainly have IT. The amount of times they come from behind or win late is very impressive. Ready to take the next step for sure.

To be fair Pool or City would have put 4 or 5 past Southampton today, we have been poor. Late last season we would have been 3-0 by HT.

 

[Magma]

awful defending again. just unmarked 5 yards out.

I still think we're missing a killer finisher who can turn half chances into goals. (As I write this Saka does exactly that)

I feel like we leave a lot of goals out on the park due to poor/indecisive finishing.

 

[And_ROOS]

Well taken goal from Saka on the right peg.
