No Pedro, we had a chance to squeeze by madrid, but since our back 4 has now been blown to smithereens, victory is just a faded dream...
Marino scoring in the 93rd would be our 1 goal to their 4, so it won't f'n matter.....
Johnny, AFC could have played it out, but Arteta has coached into the squad to play the advantage whether it is their guy or ours, at the expense of the player injured.
Well, two more go pop right before our biggest game of the season, put all the blame on Arteta and international futbol as they have played these guys into the ground.
We will get smoked by madrid now, book it!
I do not even know why I bother anymore as we need all our top players to even get close to competing for major trophies, but we have not been in a position to do it because of injuries from overplaying our key players.
Kivior for their goal…wtf ??…3 players behind him tracking the eventual scorer..but…RUN TOWARDS YOUR MAN-CUT HIM AND THE SUPPLY OFF !!!
He’s absolutely nowhere near a first team replacement- being rusty or lacking minutes really doesn’t mean a shit if you can’t do the basics. His earlier howler against Traore was a perfect t example..put it in row Z…don’t fuck about near the 18 yard box.
Yeah, in this case, baffling why we didn't engage their players even with a numeric advantage eg MLS ran in parallel while chasing their guy, why not cutting off the angle?..
Third division side Arminia Bielefeld have eliminated Xabi Alonso’s Bayer Leverkusen from the DFB Pokal! Arminia Bielefeld will play the DFB Pokal final after eliminating 4 Bundesliga teams this season.

I can imagine the uproar if this happened to Arteta's Arsenal.
Against Forest in the FA Cup 2022 I guess. We had higher xG, double the shots, double the possession and Forest got promoted to the PL a few months later. Since then - City, Liverpool, Manure.
Wright’s fellow pundit, former Arsenal, Chelsea and England midfielder Karen Carney added: ‘I think when you’re chasing [Adama] Traore in the first 15 minutes, I think that’s when he started to really stretch himself. You saw him pull up straight away.
‘It’s worrying because of how many injuries Arsenal have to hamstrings, and it’s even more worrying because in seven days’ time they’re going to be playing Real Madrid and you need this guy in your team, so it is a bit concerning.
Why always Hamstrings? 🤦🏾♂️ Jesus Christ.
Martinelli should get a MOTM. This is one of his best, if not his best game this season.
Bukayo is the best player at Arsenal and the next best english player behind Harry Kane, I've said this for the last two years, People have argued with me... But, He keeps proving me right time and time again.
Odegaard Game today was nice. Wasn't perfect, but it was good as he looked more lively than he has been in a while.
First half wasn't pretty at all with this incessant sideways safe crab passing which sometimes made you wonder if we did want to go forward at all (we still managed 7 shots on target amazingly which showed that Fliham aren't much of a team). Merino saved the half with that lovely (diverted flick) that got us a very much needed goal. What a makeshift striker we have!
The 2nd half we were much better as we were pressing forward more effectively and more incisively.
The arrival of Saka changed everything. He literally lit up the team (and the Emirates) and showed us how much we really missed him. Sublime passing and a lovely goal to his name is all that was needed to remind everyone why he is our Starboy.
All in all it was a solid 3 points bagged tonight.
Our 2 best LCBs and possibly our 2 best RBs injured in the space of a week.That is rank bad luck!
No Bob.Thats a curse.We need to bring in a Shamen,Buddhist monk,priest,vicar,rabbi,Im man,exorcist right away.Its got ridiculous.
Magalhaes positioning and awareness is world class, considering all our LBs are defensively mediocre and MLS lacks experience.
I’m going to assume the worst about Gabriel which is terribly disappointing as in my opinion he’s our player of the season
But I’ve total confidence in white as his backup if he’s fit
Deary me don’t let white miss any more games, as Kiwior needs a run of games to gain confidence and we can’t afford to do that against Madrid
What a season for forest

The xG Philosophy
Harry Maguire accumulated more xG in Added Time against Nott’m Forest than Rasmus Hojlund has in his last 15 appearances.
Goodness gracious.

Bielefeld 2 - 1 Leverkusen
1.63 - 0.87 xG
48 - 52% ball possession
10 - 13 shots
7 - 6 corners
No red cards or penalties.
They are 4th in League 3.
We best nip down there & scout a few of their players then.
Haven't we been knocked out by lower league clubs too under Arteta?

Southampton in 2021 🌚 league cup
Extra time at the Bernabeu. We need all the help we can get with big Gabi out now.

I pray Timber isn't injured. 😭😔 Good God...
I thought the refereeing in England is bad then I watched a game in Spain.
Is BFG keeping himself fit? At this rate he’s going to get the nod.
😂
Interesting game and a tale of 2 halves.

Zubimendi cooking. And Madrid look vulnerable. Whether we can keep them out with out Big Gabi and expose their weakness is the question.
Madrid have been struggling for the past 1.5 months
Yeah but their forward line still produces when they need it to.
3 - 1 now to Sociedad 😂😂😂 at the Bernabeu.
The strongest of jinxes this one.
It is not over lol.
The strongest of jinxes this one.
Bellingham pulls one back.
Le Grove cursed it lol. Tchouameni gets in a shit header through the keeper.
We’re dropping like flies.
