What the actual fuck is that red card

[–] TheBig2023Meltdown@lemmy.world 8 points 2 years ago (1 children)

That is some fucking BULLSHIT. HOWWWWW!????!?!?

[–] TheBig2023Meltdown@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

Fucking infuriating cannot be overturned because it's a yellow. Fuck that

[–] Gingerrific@lemmy.world 7 points 2 years ago

That is not a foul. Holy fuck was that a bad call.

[–] merc@sh.itjust.works 7 points 2 years ago (2 children)

So, that's 3 left back options that are unavailable for the next PL match (interestingly, none of them are really left backs).

  • Zinchenko: short-term injury
  • Timber: long-term injury
  • Tomiyasu: suspension

I wonder who option #4 is? Probably Kiwior, even though he also isn't a left back?

I would like to see Zinchenko and Trossard come on... This experiment isn't quite working

[–] coygsu@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

100%, players need to return to their usual positions.

[–] MHPengwingz@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Take Partey out and move Tomi back there..he works much better with Saka

I don't want to overreact, but Zinchenko came on and we basically started controlling the game, even with 10 men

[–] ironeaglebird@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Now if only Zinchenko could stay healthy. We're a different team when he's on.

That wasn’t even a foul + Ayew actually has made two yellow card fouls and is still on the pitch.

What a bullshit second yellow card. Ref has lost his fucking mind.

[–] sensiblepuffin@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Oh wow, look at that! What a promising counter, if not for Eddie being fouled. I wonder if there's something that we could do to discourage players from doing that?

I just want a comfortable win. Hopefully the upcoming weekend but I'll settle for it being the United game.

[–] ironeaglebird@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Another perfect last grasp tackle from Saliba.

[–] ironeaglebird@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Followed by Eddie sending the ball over the bar.

[–] MHPengwingz@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Eddie gotta stop doing this to us lmao

Roy Hodgson seems like a good sport.

[–] LotrOrc@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

I don't get why we are playing with partey in defense and tomiyasu on his weaker side.

I get zinchenko is just coming back from injury but Tierney can't even make the bench? Put partey in with rice and have havertz come in off the bench if needed.

We don't look very fluid right now and having partey cleaning up in the midfield behind rice and odegaard would be really useful

[–] sensiblepuffin@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

ONE NIL TO THE ARSENAL

[–] HaleEndGrad@lemmygrad.ml 4 points 2 years ago

Partey man, I'm telling you. He's itching to give the ball away.

[–] sensiblepuffin@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Arteta looks fucking pissed

So, Arsenal effectively finished the game with 3 CBs, 4 CMs a winger, and a ?Forward? (Havertz)

  • CB: Gabriel, Saliba, Kiwior
  • CM: Partey, Rice, Jorginho, Zinchenko
  • Saka, Havertz

Interesting for a team that wasn't playing a 3-at-the-back formation at any point.

There was no fucking contact wth

[–] sensiblepuffin@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

So they're still not punishing goalkeepers for taking five years to take a goal kick?

[–] MHPengwingz@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Yo Mikel's hair has gotten more gray

[–] ironeaglebird@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

The manager job taking 20 years off his life.

[–] MHPengwingz@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

Oh thank god we held on.

Mikel, pleaaaase do not try anything new Saturday. We were very lucky CP don't have any finishers.

I'm very ticked off about Tomiyasu's two yellows.

[–] HaleEndGrad@lemmygrad.ml 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Partey did well after the red card

I'm very curious to hear what Arteta has to say about the anti-time-wasting stuff they've implemented.

There you go, proper Arsenal matchday.

Party looks uncomfortable in that right corner.

Love seeing Declan and Tomi shouting instructions on the pitch...

And there goes the Saliba chant

[–] sensiblepuffin@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

HOLD THE BALL

HOLY FUCK IT'S HAPPENING

[–] Gingerrific@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Sorry work, its going to be a slow afternoon for me. Not surprised to see the same line up, and hopefully we continue to build on out season with another win.

[–] Arsenal4ever@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Crystal Palace are not a bad team.

[–] ironeaglebird@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago (5 children)

Rice lose a contact lense? I never consider footballers have them.

I don't know why Arteta doesn't make some changes at the hour mark. Trossard for Nketiah, even Gabriel for Tommy.

You get some fresh legs up top, and a solid defense.

Tangent: Holy shit we're lucky.

It's kind of funny to watch defenders dance along while marking Martin, and then stumble because they can't keep up
