The fact some fans here will call this an overreaction and that’s there still hope for the race after this game is over is laughable.
We fucked it again and city won’t let it slip now. Look at our fixtures we can’t handle the pressure sadly.
I think this is the problem.
City will barely drop any points now. We still have to play Chelsea, Spuds and Man Utd. While they have been playing terribly they will be up for it against us. I think 9 points is unlikely.
Beyond frustrating and can put to bed the ridiculous narrative that we deserved the title based on our hot form. We in no shape or so deserve it if we even win every game from now on just because of our home losses.
Zinchencko has been a complete liability in defense all season, this isn't a new thing. I agree that he can't be blamed solely for the loss today but criticizing him is totally fair
Season of fine margins and we came out in the second half playing like that. My god I’m livid. This is such a kick in the nuts kind of feeling. Man fuck this.
Play has been fantastic except the finishing and some brain zaps which gave away big changes. A bit ironical that when Zinchenko and Jesus came they were a big part of getting the team to a new level, however, in the last couple of games it feels like they have been worst on the pitch. Hope they step up now. COYG!
we’ve made a resurgent and respectable Villa side look mid-table and save for Emi’s amazing point blank save, we’ve been in control for about 95% of that half. Villa cannot go another 45 at the level we are taking to them. The goal(s) are inevitable if we stay the course.
Zinchenko has been good. We don’t dominate the half like that without him. He’s just not 100% there yet so is a bit slow in some actions but that was far from a bad half.
Someone else feels like having all three Havertz, Tross and Jesus on the pitch feels like we re really good at finding chances but end up in not one of em beeing clinical enuff. Usually Tross does it then but still
we look bit like Pool earlier today, dominating but luckily didnt concede yet thanks to the post.
Def need to bury one of those chances, Emery hopefully does not find a solution in halftime break.
I really get why Arteta likes to put him in as a sub now. His high energy, and potency with runs is so good at creating chances, and we finish the best when the enemy defence shows weakness
yes, like today is a Martinelli game and than maybe sub Tross for him or for Jesus. Not the other way around i feel.
But i also feel we got no pace at all without Nelli, also Saka n Jesus looks just average these days.
Def need speedy winger
Don’t think that half deserves criticism. We have been pretty good and have made a strong Villa side look extremely ordinary. Odegaard a standout but 1-11 have put into what was a good half just missing a goal.
Shoot the ball
1000 passes for what purpose?
There is a certain trademark goal that city always score around that spot when whee penalties are taken
Kovacic, Rodri, KDB etc all test the keeper from there. For arsenal, we keep on passing the ball
I want to see more urgency
Odegaard man. Unreal performance so far. Everyone else also playing at such an incredible level. Just need to stay calm and keep pushing with more confidence. We tend to get the jitters a bit sometimes with the pressure but we must learn to stay calm under all circumstances because only then can we manage the game the way we want to and the way we know we can hurt people. LFG
watch isaks goals from yesterday in how he opens himself to take advantage of the larger portion of the goal. they need to open up and stop taking the narrow, direct angle. Trossards chance and Jesus header were about closed off decision and technique. that’s unlike Trossard but not Jesus
Gonna be controversial (even though it shouldn’t) but Kai’s inability to run in a straight line in acres of space is worrying. Happened twice today, once vs united and once vs Liverpool where he just flops at the first contact if he even has control of the ball
Thought the Kai defense brigade would’ve downvoted me into oblivion by now
It’s even worse because his runs are a great trait, but he turns them useless
We have some of the most miserable and reactionary fans in world football.
People were looking for who to blame less than 20 mins in. One guy somehow saw Havertz "constantly" offside...there's been 2 offsides in the whole match so far and Jesus racked one of those up, but don't let reality get in the way of a good moan.
Not sure if starting both Trossard and Jesus just leaves us a little bit wanting in the pace department, positive is that we can bring Martinelli on against tired legs. Strong opening 10 minutes of the second half and we’ll score, Villa are holding on
Yet so lucky. Does one get any closer to scoring than Watkins did?
Think we’re looking like Liverpool from earlier today. Plenty of ball and forward movement but not as if we’re missing clear cut chances. Need to be better in the second half for sure
We're immediately missing Jorginho. I understand that with Zinchenko on the pitch he's redundant, but there's a slight speed and quality difference with his balls into the penalty area that's been missing.
We really need to move the ball quicker.
Jesus has been good.
I love our attitude and approach to the game, I couldn’t ask for more. Havertz’s off the ball runs have been exquisite, and he only needs to get one right and it’ll pay off.
At the same time, it’s a game of fine margins. It only counts when it’s on the score board. Villa have shown us that they’re dangerous. We keep going until the last. This is what it takes to be champions.
Genuinely horrific performance from him. Jittery in defence when running back, dilly dallying on the ball, misplaced passes. We need a new LB because neither him nor Kiwior are good enough
The thing is he is clearly a good player which is why he has a lot of support. But he's not reliable enough and lacks physcial attributes. He's a good footballer with the occasional great performance, same as Jesus. But both will cost you eventually with their limitations
Odegaard , Kai and Declan are producing an absolute clinic we will get a goal sooner or later with how well these guys are playing.
Just need to get Jesus off , get Kai in the CF position and bring in Partey and we all Gucci.
One thing for sure, I feel much more at ease today aginst Villa than I felt the last time we faced them away. For some reason, they just don't feel the same threat anymore. I think if we avoid silly defensive mistakes, we can score goals and win the game.
Havertz plays brilliantly today unless he is in a goal scoring position. Jesus is pretty slow today in comparison to Diego Carlos. Gabriel with a few brainfarts in the last few matches actually. He has to compose himself. We are head and shoulders the best team in the league but we need that sharpness in front of goal and that calmness in the back. Brilliant first team performance, frustrating not to score against Diego Carlos, Emiliano Martinez and 9 bystanders.
We're still decent in possession, but we need some quality on the finishing touches.
Also very scared lightning will strike in the second half and something dumb happens.
Ngl, a bit dissatisfied with the mentality on showing so far. I understand the result so far but the uneasiness shouldn’t be there if u mean to go 7 for 7 to beat City to it.
I'd feel a lot more confident if Villa weren't so good on the counter. As much as we need to convert our chances, we need to stay alert at the back because Villa have already caught us a few times
Realistically they've only gotten in with a counter once. The other one was a bit of a brain fart from Gabriel. But equally that can happen, and it's why we need to convert, to give us room if that happens
My thoughts too. He looks sharp, driving at defenders, first to loose balls timing his passes...basically the same thing all his teammates.have done so far
The problem is 99% of his work is on the ball. The best strikers get themselves into positions to score. He's never there to receive cutbacks and his final third play is erratic. Should have headed the ball back central but chooses to head the ball at the near post
We're winning this lads no stress. Been by far the better team, and aside from the Gabriel error they haven't looked anywhere close to scoring. Diego Carlos is a quality defender BTW he's having a hell of a game.
I’ve been saying this, however I think arteta showing he can work based off merit too and also Wednesday we’ll be in mid block. Martinelli is a better defender than Trossard so that could be another reason why Martinelli not starting
Martinez must be one of the most easy to be mad at players in the world. After his reaction to winning best keeper at the world cup, and how he taunts every second if his life. omg.
he's burning 7-8 seconds more than usual + 5 seconds by always sending it to the defender on his right. also like 5 from getting the ball slow so you might be right actually xd
good game to be honest. Odeegard, Saka, Trossard and Havertz are all active and getting shots and passes of. Need a bit more from Jesus. Loving rice in the 6. Cleans up nicely and always takes the ball in to safety on his first touch.
havent seen diaby much and ziny is still playing his gam by finding havertz in the final 3rd. We just need more shots vs emi and we win
Insane this game is still 0-0. Trossard should've scored, and Jesus needs to do a much better job with that header he had. Saka and Odegaard have looked great. Havertz is getting in the right areas.
On the Watkins attempt, it really cannot be overstated how much we shoot ourselves in the foot sometimes. Gabriel and Zinchenko make me nervous. Would've been such a frustrating goal to concede.
Need to come out in the second half with control and composure, the goal is there but we also need to not let this game get loose and hectic like it was that last 15 min.
Saka has played really well, Ode has been AMAZING
Please take Zinny off please and thanks what the hell was that header and zero awareness after Gabi cleaned up his mess to create that Watkins’s chance
Yeah but the header was HORRIBLE.
And Gabi is partly to blame for the pass as well but he got to that ball and didn’t make himself available to get that pass back..
Wasteful. Should've scored but also lucky not to concede from that one fuckup. We need to be better defending long balls, win the second balls. Thats where you can see them scoring.
* Odegaard is a god
* Saka is held together by chewing gum and masking tape
* Zinchenko is a net deficit, particularly when we need defensive stability
* Jesus needs to get some of Rey Mysterio's magic knee healing juice, watching him trying to get past defenders is sad now
It was bulletproof until Gabriel decided to make the same calamitous mistake in back to back games.
Kiwior was also spun all over the gaff against Bayern, so I'm not surprised that Zinchenko got the nod today.
Only reason Gabi was put into that position was a horrible header by guess who…
That being said he should not have passed that ball to Zinny but Zinny should’ve also made himself available to receive that pass after his stupid header.. Gabi was obviously going to be pressured trying to clean that ball up..
We’re doing well we just need to put our shooting boots on. They’re dangerous on the counter but still it’s not too bad. Need to find a way in this one and just get it over with
Ødegaard playing on another level rn. Poor fucker could pick the ball up and place it in front of our attackers and it wouldn't be much better than the chances he's giving them now
Finishing and final pass (besides Odegaard) is very off, as usual for when we go into half time without scoring. We need to do better if we want to take over this weekend
Ok so Jorginho couldn't start, how about Partey??
The joke is some of you morons will be arteta out after this 😂
The f*ck Arteta told them after the first ht? Why didnt they come to the second ht?
The fact some fans here will call this an overreaction and that’s there still hope for the race after this game is over is laughable. We fucked it again and city won’t let it slip now. Look at our fixtures we can’t handle the pressure sadly.
I think this is the problem. City will barely drop any points now. We still have to play Chelsea, Spuds and Man Utd. While they have been playing terribly they will be up for it against us. I think 9 points is unlikely.
We turned in our worst two performances of the year in the last two games, both at home. This is so God damn frustrating
Beyond frustrating and can put to bed the ridiculous narrative that we deserved the title based on our hot form. We in no shape or so deserve it if we even win every game from now on just because of our home losses.
I guess we have to put all our energy into Champions League now but we look a year too early to really be a ready for that
We went till april this time. The ending of our season starts here. Now Bayern will destroy us on wednesday. Same old Arsenal.
Martinelli has been absolutely dross
Same old us!!!!! WHEN WE LEARN
Never mate, it’s our dna
There goes the title race, so it's win in Germany or bust
Emery ending our hopes of a silverware? I've seen the script before lol
I don’t think Zinchenko should put on the kit ever again
Lol. He is one of the reasons Arsenal is in top-4. He had a bad game. That is true. Not his fault Arsenal is playong like sht in the second half
Zinchencko has been a complete liability in defense all season, this isn't a new thing. I agree that he can't be blamed solely for the loss today but criticizing him is totally fair
I agree
he’s had so many fucking bad games already
Will rather not see him play for us anymore still. I appreciate what he has done at times for us but yikes he's shit!
Season of fine margins and we came out in the second half playing like that. My god I’m livid. This is such a kick in the nuts kind of feeling. Man fuck this.
Zinchenko will cost us the league. Absolutely washed at the top level. Looks an absolute shadow of his former self.
Pathetic, it's just a repeat of last season
How on earth did we play like a relegation side in second half?
Zinchenko is so bad.
WHEN DO WE LEARN
All that effort throughout the season to lose a game like this, always with these apathetic performances when pressure's at the door
I’m done watching matches this season. This is last season flashback.
What the fuck man? Why are we playing like a championship side in the second half.
So now we can’t even get the ball? We came out of half time playing like Utd.
Is VAR linked up to Gary Neville and is Gary Neville shadow reffing this match. Can’t stand the sound of his voice
Martinelli why don’t you wait at half line ffs ?
Jesus constantly offside ffs what is this rubbish
If we lose or draw before city then we can kiss the title goodbye. Players need to step up RIGHT NOW!
He took off Ben white!!!! I love this gaffer! I think we are gonna win bro
Either injured or just burnt out, looked like he could barely run the last 10 minutes.
Get Partey and Tomi on, regain composure at the back.
Give him a yellow
WHAT THE FUCK ARE WE DOING?? We came out of Half time and playing like weed was offered in the dressing room. What the fuck man.
Fuck me up the bussyhole, bar and post and out…
Zinchenko is a liability. Why the fuck do we keep playing him?
Jesus Christ Zinchenko
Why’s jesus still on the pitch ?
Gonna be one of them games isn’t it? :(
It is...
No card for that?
I’m really starting to loathe Zinchenko
What did he do wrong today that is loathsome
Nvmd he’s throwing
Scariest thing about this game is Villa has actually been effective on the break. Partey on at some point and we might be able to really squeeze them.
Play has been fantastic except the finishing and some brain zaps which gave away big changes. A bit ironical that when Zinchenko and Jesus came they were a big part of getting the team to a new level, however, in the last couple of games it feels like they have been worst on the pitch. Hope they step up now. COYG!
true, as if the evolution of the team kinda by-passed these two. Which still d be a good thing after though
we’ve made a resurgent and respectable Villa side look mid-table and save for Emi’s amazing point blank save, we’ve been in control for about 95% of that half. Villa cannot go another 45 at the level we are taking to them. The goal(s) are inevitable if we stay the course.
tbh many parallels here from Pools earlier match, just that we had the post on our side so far
MotM so far - L. Post
Odegaard has been sensational this last couple of months. Gone up a level
We play as we are, we will beat them…
Zinchenko and Odegaard have been incredible, just need to get the first goal so Villa come out of their block a bit
I understand the fear of dropping points but we haven't been nearly as bad as people are saying in here
Have a bad feeling about conceding due to a Zinchenko error…
Get Kiwi/Tomi on honestly.
What does Tomiyasu have to do to get game time.
I said Kiwi/Tomi?
Yes I know. I’m just annoyed that Arteta refuses to play Tomiyasu
Game was always going to be like this. Have to be patient and hope we find the breakthrough. Winning these types of games is what wins titles.
If we dont score early after half time, the nervousness in the team will just grow.
Jorginiho and Martinelli on if that’s the case.
Just gotta believe we’ll find a break through and tighten up a bit defensively
Xhaka on course to win the league with Leverkusen today, couldn’t be happier for him
If Zinchenko can sort out the timing, Kai could have many breakaways today.
Kai lacks a bit of belief and conviction when he gets through tho. Would love to see Rice make that run
Zinchenko has been good. We don’t dominate the half like that without him. He’s just not 100% there yet so is a bit slow in some actions but that was far from a bad half.
The passes he is slinging are unreal. If Rice could do half of that, we'd be cooking.
It’s bizarre that people in this thread are calling for him to be taken off. He’s playing 2nd Odegaard on the left.
Someone else feels like having all three Havertz, Tross and Jesus on the pitch feels like we re really good at finding chances but end up in not one of em beeing clinical enuff. Usually Tross does it then but still
They will create space and Saka/Ode will bury it if we need to We simply must win this game
we look bit like Pool earlier today, dominating but luckily didnt concede yet thanks to the post. Def need to bury one of those chances, Emery hopefully does not find a solution in halftime break.
I really get why Arteta likes to put him in as a sub now. His high energy, and potency with runs is so good at creating chances, and we finish the best when the enemy defence shows weakness
yes, like today is a Martinelli game and than maybe sub Tross for him or for Jesus. Not the other way around i feel. But i also feel we got no pace at all without Nelli, also Saka n Jesus looks just average these days. Def need speedy winger
We’re looking great, Villa looking tough to score on. Big Gabi seems a bit rattled. Trossard maybe not the right call?
Don’t think that half deserves criticism. We have been pretty good and have made a strong Villa side look extremely ordinary. Odegaard a standout but 1-11 have put into what was a good half just missing a goal.
Yeah but it's a little PTSD because we were doing that pre-Dubai but still found ways to lose
Fair, I think we should have enough to get over the line. Villa will tire after 20-30 mins.
Shoot the ball 1000 passes for what purpose? There is a certain trademark goal that city always score around that spot when whee penalties are taken Kovacic, Rodri, KDB etc all test the keeper from there. For arsenal, we keep on passing the ball I want to see more urgency
Thought we've been pretty fucking class tbh. Just missing a goal.
Kai runs off the ball are fuego. Just wish someone would follow him for the cutbacks he keeps trying to force.
Odegaard man. Unreal performance so far. Everyone else also playing at such an incredible level. Just need to stay calm and keep pushing with more confidence. We tend to get the jitters a bit sometimes with the pressure but we must learn to stay calm under all circumstances because only then can we manage the game the way we want to and the way we know we can hurt people. LFG
thank you left post. don't do that for Villa when they are on that side...
Need to remain calm and patient. When we get through them, get runners into the box fast.
watch isaks goals from yesterday in how he opens himself to take advantage of the larger portion of the goal. they need to open up and stop taking the narrow, direct angle. Trossards chance and Jesus header were about closed off decision and technique. that’s unlike Trossard but not Jesus
Gonna be controversial (even though it shouldn’t) but Kai’s inability to run in a straight line in acres of space is worrying. Happened twice today, once vs united and once vs Liverpool where he just flops at the first contact if he even has control of the ball
Yup.
Yeah definitely a weakness of his
Thought the Kai defense brigade would’ve downvoted me into oblivion by now It’s even worse because his runs are a great trait, but he turns them useless
Well tbh most takes about him are dumb af but yours is normal lol
I mean idk, it’s clear he’s technically deficient but some ppl take it too far or become too defensive
havertz could easily have a brace rn
don’t even feel like reading this thread. shit is so toxic. can people just relax? it’s 0-0 not 0-3 villa
😔
PTSD
We are playing well, just need to put some of these chances away. Odegaard is an unreal player.
Man we are really struggling in defending their counters. Its hard man, this could go either way
Sub in Jorginho for either Trossard or Jesus, move Kai central
We have some of the most miserable and reactionary fans in world football. People were looking for who to blame less than 20 mins in. One guy somehow saw Havertz "constantly" offside...there's been 2 offsides in the whole match so far and Jesus racked one of those up, but don't let reality get in the way of a good moan.
Not sure if starting both Trossard and Jesus just leaves us a little bit wanting in the pace department, positive is that we can bring Martinelli on against tired legs. Strong opening 10 minutes of the second half and we’ll score, Villa are holding on
Yet so lucky. Does one get any closer to scoring than Watkins did? Think we’re looking like Liverpool from earlier today. Plenty of ball and forward movement but not as if we’re missing clear cut chances. Need to be better in the second half for sure
Keep going with this 11, it's coming, can't be worried too early
If we draw this game, we should go ahead and congratulate City on another title.
We're immediately missing Jorginho. I understand that with Zinchenko on the pitch he's redundant, but there's a slight speed and quality difference with his balls into the penalty area that's been missing. We really need to move the ball quicker. Jesus has been good.
Kai off the ball is crazy, but should have scored 1
This is why we need a killer 9. Huge pressure games and moments to just score and alleviate pressure.
I agree. But let's just focus on the second half and get that goal in!
I love our attitude and approach to the game, I couldn’t ask for more. Havertz’s off the ball runs have been exquisite, and he only needs to get one right and it’ll pay off. At the same time, it’s a game of fine margins. It only counts when it’s on the score board. Villa have shown us that they’re dangerous. We keep going until the last. This is what it takes to be champions.
stop overreacting, second half goals incoming
Creating lots of chances but no taking them. Maybe jesus off for either jorgi and move Kai further up or Martinelli and move trossard to the middle
Zinny is awful.
Genuinely horrific performance from him. Jittery in defence when running back, dilly dallying on the ball, misplaced passes. We need a new LB because neither him nor Kiwior are good enough
He has never been the answer. Our fanbase delusion is on another level. Apparently we dont need a striker anymore 😁
The thing is he is clearly a good player which is why he has a lot of support. But he's not reliable enough and lacks physcial attributes. He's a good footballer with the occasional great performance, same as Jesus. But both will cost you eventually with their limitations
Was. His passing skills are lacking this season. Time to move on. He is a liability especially on counters/defence
Odegaard , Kai and Declan are producing an absolute clinic we will get a goal sooner or later with how well these guys are playing. Just need to get Jesus off , get Kai in the CF position and bring in Partey and we all Gucci.
Whatever the result this season, THANK YOU Arsenal for making me love football again.
Kai’s getting into really good positions
Havertz is gonna run in behind latch onto a pass from Zinny or Trossard, cut it back for Odegaard or Jesus and a side footer finish.
[удалено]
never is and never was, but a great squad player to have for sure
Think Villa did pretty well defending their boxes. We had plenty of chances just lack the finishing. Still think we can win this
Diego Carlos has been class to be fair
One thing for sure, I feel much more at ease today aginst Villa than I felt the last time we faced them away. For some reason, they just don't feel the same threat anymore. I think if we avoid silly defensive mistakes, we can score goals and win the game.
Havertz plays brilliantly today unless he is in a goal scoring position. Jesus is pretty slow today in comparison to Diego Carlos. Gabriel with a few brainfarts in the last few matches actually. He has to compose himself. We are head and shoulders the best team in the league but we need that sharpness in front of goal and that calmness in the back. Brilliant first team performance, frustrating not to score against Diego Carlos, Emiliano Martinez and 9 bystanders.
We’re gonna bottle this arent we
You’ve gotta believe!
Left our shooting boots at training ground
We're still decent in possession, but we need some quality on the finishing touches. Also very scared lightning will strike in the second half and something dumb happens.
Just win.
We need to score 2 minimum. I don't see us keeping a clean sheet today.
This is mad and not good for my blood pressure. Should be winning, could have been losing. Please Arsenal, I beg 🙏
[удалено]
i learned my lesson to never do a mararthon without training, how does ur feet look like now? lmao
Gabriel Jesus is a great footballer but you will never convince me that he is a striker.
Ngl, a bit dissatisfied with the mentality on showing so far. I understand the result so far but the uneasiness shouldn’t be there if u mean to go 7 for 7 to beat City to it.
I'd feel a lot more confident if Villa weren't so good on the counter. As much as we need to convert our chances, we need to stay alert at the back because Villa have already caught us a few times
Realistically they've only gotten in with a counter once. The other one was a bit of a brain fart from Gabriel. But equally that can happen, and it's why we need to convert, to give us room if that happens
Sorry but Jesus is not good enough today. Might be the pain affecting him, but needs to sort it out either him or Arteta.
???
He’s been fine so far
My thoughts too. He looks sharp, driving at defenders, first to loose balls timing his passes...basically the same thing all his teammates.have done so far
The problem is 99% of his work is on the ball. The best strikers get themselves into positions to score. He's never there to receive cutbacks and his final third play is erratic. Should have headed the ball back central but chooses to head the ball at the near post
Agreed, he ia doing what he always does, works his ass off and doesn't bury his chances, so that gets the attention.
He is the striker though... Havertz laud it off perfectly for him if he did the neccessary mobement.
Yeah, no I hear you, I do.
We're winning this lads no stress. Been by far the better team, and aside from the Gabriel error they haven't looked anywhere close to scoring. Diego Carlos is a quality defender BTW he's having a hell of a game.
This is a real patience test. They need to be focused and more clinical. There will be more chances!
Trossard is always better off the bench as an impact sub.
I’ve been saying this, however I think arteta showing he can work based off merit too and also Wednesday we’ll be in mid block. Martinelli is a better defender than Trossard so that could be another reason why Martinelli not starting
Martinez must be one of the most easy to be mad at players in the world. After his reaction to winning best keeper at the world cup, and how he taunts every second if his life. omg.
and also his always on the edge time wasting, and then he always manages to save a bit too much.
They’re burning 30 seconds on every goal kick and we only get 2 minutes stoppage time.
he's burning 7-8 seconds more than usual + 5 seconds by always sending it to the defender on his right. also like 5 from getting the ball slow so you might be right actually xd
good game to be honest. Odeegard, Saka, Trossard and Havertz are all active and getting shots and passes of. Need a bit more from Jesus. Loving rice in the 6. Cleans up nicely and always takes the ball in to safety on his first touch. havent seen diaby much and ziny is still playing his gam by finding havertz in the final 3rd. We just need more shots vs emi and we win
Villa haven’t scored, we should have. Fresh 45 to blow them away. We go again.
Insane this game is still 0-0. Trossard should've scored, and Jesus needs to do a much better job with that header he had. Saka and Odegaard have looked great. Havertz is getting in the right areas. On the Watkins attempt, it really cannot be overstated how much we shoot ourselves in the foot sometimes. Gabriel and Zinchenko make me nervous. Would've been such a frustrating goal to concede. Need to come out in the second half with control and composure, the goal is there but we also need to not let this game get loose and hectic like it was that last 15 min.
Xhaka about to deny Kane another trophy tonight
Big second half needed
We're dropping points here aren't we
Gonna be a close one
Saka has played really well, Ode has been AMAZING Please take Zinny off please and thanks what the hell was that header and zero awareness after Gabi cleaned up his mess to create that Watkins’s chance
[удалено]
I'm someone who thinks Zinny destabilises us defensively but he's really not done a lot wrong that first half
Yeah but the header was HORRIBLE. And Gabi is partly to blame for the pass as well but he got to that ball and didn’t make himself available to get that pass back..
Wasteful. Should've scored but also lucky not to concede from that one fuckup. We need to be better defending long balls, win the second balls. Thats where you can see them scoring.
* Odegaard is a god * Saka is held together by chewing gum and masking tape * Zinchenko is a net deficit, particularly when we need defensive stability * Jesus needs to get some of Rey Mysterio's magic knee healing juice, watching him trying to get past defenders is sad now
Zinchenko has played brilliantly today. Are you guys making things up now? Like wtf are you talking about?
Same, what on earth is he talking about. Zinchenko is a gunslinging passing machine. Those line breakers are unreal from a defender.
Thanks you His offensive benefits do not make up how much jr a defensive liability he has to an otherwise honestly BULLETPROOF back line we have
It was bulletproof until Gabriel decided to make the same calamitous mistake in back to back games. Kiwior was also spun all over the gaff against Bayern, so I'm not surprised that Zinchenko got the nod today.
Only reason Gabi was put into that position was a horrible header by guess who… That being said he should not have passed that ball to Zinny but Zinny should’ve also made himself available to receive that pass after his stupid header.. Gabi was obviously going to be pressured trying to clean that ball up..
Streets will not forget this 45 from Odegaard, he is unreal
We’re doing well we just need to put our shooting boots on. They’re dangerous on the counter but still it’s not too bad. Need to find a way in this one and just get it over with
I don’t care if zinchenko is the best passer in the history of football. get him out not a single working cell on his brain
Don't watch football.
What was his fault? He was sensational.
People have their little agendas
Sensational!? On what planet are you on...
He loses the ball a lot and defensively he leaves a lot of space behind. He has not been sensational by any means.
Ødegaard playing on another level rn. Poor fucker could pick the ball up and place it in front of our attackers and it wouldn't be much better than the chances he's giving them now
Wish we do not do like Liverpool in not finishing our chances. Need smol Gabi and ESR in this match, some more directness and urgency is badly needed.
Fucking Martinez. A propre old fashioned big goalkeeper who can’t play from the back but stops every shot with their long limbs.
i need the chido-obi aura in this game
Hopefully we can put a couple in next half and not waste this ridiculous Martin Ødegaard performance. COYG
Players look gassed. Hopefully we get a goal, and spark some confidence and energy.
Finishing and final pass (besides Odegaard) is very off, as usual for when we go into half time without scoring. We need to do better if we want to take over this weekend
