The line-up is in and it’s a very strong team today.
Leno, Bellerin, Luiz, Gabriel, Tierney, Xhaka, Ceballos, Saka, Odegaard, Smith Rowe, Aubameyang
Clearly too soon for Thomas Partey, so we revert back to a centre midfield of Xhaka and Dani Ceballos.
Attack wise, we have all the tools in the box on display. Our best central defender for passing. Kieran Tierney prowling down the left. With probably the idea from 4 moving forward.
It’s the gun show today.
What are we looking for?
Goals, goals, goals.
The main worry is that we’ll be leggy after chasing shadows against Manchester City over the weekend. Post-Leeds, we weren’t really at peak physical condition, even though you’d be hard pushed to say we didn’t create enough to win.
We need a performance today. There needs to be an answer to their offside trap. We need to keep our midfield and defence super tight so we don’t give up an away goal. Everyone needs to give a 90 minutes of concentration.
I also want to see us take risks. Auba isn’t the only person that can score goals. Odegaard is capable, the same is true of Saka and ESR.
… but Auba does need to show up. We need a captains performance. Lead by example. Be the sharp shooter we need.
We need a big win.
We need to start a run of tough games positively.
This has to be a run.
So let’s see where it goes.
Enjoy the comments. See you there a little later. This will be fun.
Poor slow flacid Man City
Is only me or does it look like our players are not interested in scoring?
The generational one getting outsmarted again.
Sacrifice Esr for Ode… I can understand if Ode does brilliant work but he delivers nothing. Side pass specialist… and not willing to shoot too it seems
Not a decent shot since
Aubama what ?
Come on!!!! AUBA!!!!!!
AUBaAAAAAAAAA
Get in!
Saka + Auba!!!!!!!!
Yaaaaasss
4 minutes for Pepe, why even bother
Get fucking in
GooooalalalL
I thought we had improved defensively … clearly not
Yes, now don’t fuck this up again
Don’t fkin bottle it like Vs Olympiacos.
FUCKING BRIKKANT CROSS BY SAKA WOT A 50m PLAYER
Yes!!!!!! Get in you Fuckers!!!!!
what a goal
Hold out for few minutes now
Sakaaaaaaaaaa Sakaaaaaaaaa Sakaaaaa
You can eat your hat this week Winthorpe 😉
Diet will die on this f…ing willian hill tho
They tried to give offside
Xhaka has to go
Saka is our player of the season
Never in doubt
They have to var it? Looked clean to me
Fight, boys. Surely you can do it for 5 minutes
Auba is as good as they get. Our problem is we have only Saka playing the ball quickly. Odegaard takes too many touches. Xhaka and Luiz just phoning it in.
TYAG and Winthorpe
Fair’s fair.
I just apportion blame on Cech for not doing enough vs Chelski in the EL final. His head was already gone as he had announced that he was going back to that cesspool once he retired.
To be fair, they are all cunts. I absolutely hate Chelski… it’s just fine margins on the hate meter.
Beauty! Now hold it like its $GME!
Saka and Tierney refuse to lose.. Future of the team.
Yes!!!! Can we hold on now?!?
Please don’t fuck it up ( again)
Without Saka, this team would be out and Arteta on the scrapheap of management.
Saka is other worldly
Aubaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!@!
Yessssssssss!
Come on The Arsenal!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Arsenal on Saka’s young shoulders
Chambers???!!!
Auba the elite goal scorer, but all he does is score loads of goals.
Red hot take there.
Yes good come back! Although Gabriel almost put us in trouble a couple of seconds earlier. But who cares?
Damn Saka.
Where would we be without you boy.
Well the aforementioned injury time sunday are here, RB Saka with the win
Don’t fuck this up now.. please..
Just onside？？ it’s so bloodly clear Auba was onside
Hellooooo? Auba haters, where are you?
Our new standard after getting our club back
Top 8 is a trophy
We used to be in top 16 on Wednesday football. Now we are fighting to be there on Thursday football.
Exciting.
Chambers. Wow!! He exists.
Mid
I agree.
Saka and ESR are absolute gems!!!!
Odeegard is playing it too safe.
Chambers lol
I love saka as well the kid is amazing
Arteta parking the truck now with Chambers and Elneny
Injury time subs*
Duzie chambers to go RB
4 added min
Saka so good. Give him 10 y contract
“Suck my balls Jamie”
There’s the Don we all remember. Auba a hat trick and a brace in the last 3 games. Keep it up.
Damn, my stream is super delayed. At least 5 mins behind. What a pass and vision from Saka there. Kid just oozes class.
Thank God for Saka, covering up his managers deficiencies
Don’t concede Fk
Soak up time
Diet style
And Its Arsenal!!@
Arsenal FC!!@
We are by far the greatest team the world has ever seen!!!!
Saka is on 30k a week…… He must look at bellerin, xhaka and actually everyone else in the dressing room and say what the absolute fuck…….
Wow heart in mouth shit
Block their crosses ffs
Off but a heart pounding moment
Ohhhh to!!
Ohhh to be!!!!
Ohhhhh to be a …. Gooner!!!!!
Before u knew it. Hit the post offside
Coyg
Can’t block any crosses rubbish
Tets can still F the F off! So boringly methodical and shit with his subs
Fuck me. I just nearly died.
Dany you dickhead. Good bye!
Holy Fuck!!!! hit the post.. hahaha Oh man… I don’t need that much excitement.
It hasn’t been the best performance, but the boost winning a game like this, in this fashion, is what can spur a team on for the rest of a season. Even the biggest detractors of this time have to give credit for the resolve shown tonight. This could kick start a great run, look forward to the draw tomorrow!
WON
Yes
Awful
We needed that so badly
Never in doubt
Well, that was good fun !
Well done boys !
Arteta out !
…and Arteta can personally take Ceballos back to Real Madrid and both can stay in Spain
So happy with the win while being outraged at the manager, Oooh to be a Gooner
Yes . Something for a new manager to work with. Good win
The post saves us again!!!
He is our 13th man!!! (The 12th man is us. 😀)
Unreal finish… wow…. Glad we won… but holy fuck.
Just another day in the life of Arsenal 2021.
This is the way. Arsenal way.
Jesus what a nervy match.
You see lads, no sweat, an easy win, you all knew we had this!
We have only postponed the evil day. These players need to look at fraudeta in the eye and tell him that he’s so shitty
Honestly just watch Willian. He just runs around in no mans land, doesn’t actually close anyone down or put pressure on anything. He truly is a complete and utter waste of space.
I am actually somebody who is willing to put faith in MA as a long term plan but I am losing faith in him as he keeps playing this utterly past it player.
Still this team goes nowhere with Tets.
Criminal to keep Odegaard on so long and not bring on Pepe. Team has to play with 9 or 10 every game because of Arteta.
Why this? Benfica is shit. This should not happen…
Not the perfect performance but a win is a win
Good day for real arsenal fans
Bad day for the false negative so called fans who can now fuck off til the next game they want us to lose. Pricks
Auba is still a world class striker.
Arteta playing ESR as LW is a big mistake.
Saka’s two assists showing his class.
All in all, Pedro is happy!!!!!!!!
We fuxking need the EL win that could make this disastrous season less painful
