Arsenal Team Talk/Gossip/Rumours 2020/2021

Alfred Borden

Xhaka was bound to get injured. Bit of luck getting Tierney into the side.

Irish Aris

In BT they just said Xhaka got a knock in warmup and Tierney will start instead

Quazzie

It's a pity we're losing Xhaka in the midfield slot though.

Xhaka injured Tierney replaces him

If Tierney is fit enough for the bench then why not start him?????? It's our most important game of the season.

You got your wish. His starting

Was looking forward to seeing him beside Partey again

Probably was playing left back knowing us :pac:

Lets hope Tierney is fully fit and doesn't need to be replaced at any stage

FFS looks like I'll have Turkish commentary again. :pac:

English on mine if you're stuck

Patience and no **** ups could be key here. Villareal look to be set up really deep. Just don't run yourselves out early and make sure there's something left after an hour. Bound to be multiple chances.

Had English (BT) and switched over.

How is he getting a shot away under no pressure? This is already worrying.

wonga77

Good save Leno, we need to be closing down shots quicker than that though

darego

Have a feeling Pepe is going to do well tonight

5star02707

Looks like Tierney isnt fully fit and Xhaka was to play LB.

For anyone looking to watch online it's available on

Bellerin's lost any pace he had. Another for the chopping board soon.

Tierney could Put a ball on a two pence piece from 60 yards.

Bound to get injured this evening.

Has given the ball away about 100 times already tonight.

Nah just 60.

I've not had much time for him the last few seasons but his pace was the only thing that could still be pointed at. If that's gone then he's done.

Nice header Leno. **** me.

We are looking very sloppy so far.

wonga77

wow that was some pass from Partey...

FixitFelix

Our attacking play is painfully slow

Well the woman on BT was just complaining that everything Arsenal were doing was played to feet. :pac:

(Gave up on the Turkish one, stupid internet)

Bobby Baccala

Your woman is actually talking more than the main commentator, never thought I’d miss Michael Owen

Ardennes1944

Tierney looks ****ed already!

It’s nearly always like that. So frustrating.

Football and a lot of other sports and media will learn over the next few years what happens when you ignore what long-term fans want. And then wonder why they're losing viewers.

Royale with Cheese

You'd swear Arsenal were the ones with the 2-1 lead with the speed they're playing at.

Yes, it's extremely frustrating. Especially compared to how we used to play.

When? I remember saying the same when Ramsay used to play in the center

al87987

This is a bad watch so far. Just nothing going on. Odegaard really struggles to get into a lot of games

I guess I'm in the minority bit I don't mind her

I remember the days when sky used to time in seconds how quickly we went from one end of the pitch to the other and scored.

Who is it that's commentating?

Indeed. Come on lads, she's way better than Michael Owen or Steve McManaman.

5star02707

We playing so slow, Auba not involved. A long ball at the top would be so good if Luiz was available

Karen Carney. So close from auba

wonga77

**** that was close, first proper sight of goal we've had

5star02707

Great volley off the post

Leno decides to stop **** around at the back, lo and behold 2 minutes later we've had a corner and hit the post. Funny that.

Underground

Glad to see the back of Chukwueze tbh. I think I heard on the Arsecast we nearly signed him a few years ago, good player.

Royale with Cheese

Partey looks a liability.

Bellerin is the worst player on the field and its not even close

That particular passage of play really annoyed me, standing in no mans land like a turkey

Cedric or Chambers needed, he's not offering anything at either end of the pitch

farna_boy

Has Pepe been told not to run at people tonight or something?

Bobby Baccala

He’s killing me with the amount of moves he’s slowed down, not really like him

FixitFelix

Bit like Real last night, Arsenal need a goal to turn the tie on its head and are just going through the motions
