Arsenal Team Talk/Gossip/Rumours 2020/2021

Quazzie

ESR with a bad miss there. Just couldn't get a connection on the ball.

Underground

Bellerin is fcking sh*te. That was an awful attempt at squaring it.

tayto lover

Terrible corner. We can’t beat the first man.

al87987

Not much going on so far but we've been the better team for the most part.

I like the energy we have up top now, I don't think we can start more than 1 of Auba, Laca and Willian these days. Not enough movement/running off the ball, much better today.

Any sort of contact that's a goal. No idea why no Chelsea players was booked on a clear drag

crazy_kenny

Great play Tierney

tayto lover

Penalty 🙏🙏

Quazzie

Very little contact, so I wouldn't be surprised to be overturned

Ol' Donie

Great pass Granit, in fairness

tayto lover

Low and hard like a terriers mickey.

Defo peno. No question.

Quazzie

YESSSSSS. Get in.

Soft penalty but VAR gave it. Laca goal!

Ol' Donie

Yessss!

Now, yis can bore me to absolute death, if yis hold on to this.

If I don't see any shots at all for the rest of the day, that'll be grand.

Alfred Borden

Even if we dont hang on, this has been better. Helps when the team is a lot more likeable too with the usual wasters out.

crazy_kenny

Get in. I’m a little worried on Chelsea corners. Bellerin seems to be picking up Abraham and has his hands all over him.

100%.

Martinelli and ESR add so much energy to the team. The Willian signing really does look stupid now.

He's had a pretty good half, winning the midfield battle and playing it ahead of the fullbacks a lot.

The final ball from our fullbacks has let us down so far.

That's a scandalous penatly decision it must be said. Can't believe they didn't get Michael Oliver to check the pitchside monitor.

It's about time we got a decision

Very poor penalty call initially by the ref, but as soon as there was any contact, like on the knee, VAR couldn't overturn it,

tayto lover

Speedy attackers worrying Chelsea.
Quick high press is great.

Pleased for lacazette
Are we playing better or are Chelsea not great tonight, I might be biased but I’m sure we seem better

Playing with a lot more energy and purpose for sure.

Ol' Donie

These kids are running like they mean it. Battling too.

Love what I'm seeing.

5star02707

Keep applying pressure we will be rewarded again.

Quazzie

Elneny has been our worst player this half imo. Nothing seems to be working out for him

Ol' Donie

First time we've been ahead in a league game since the peno at Old Trafford!

5star02707

Xhaakaaaaaaa

tayto lover

Keep the ball on the ground lads and keep running at them.
Great goal Xhaka..

Underground

Holy sh*t - Xhaka. Never knew he could do that!

Ol' Donie

YEEEESSSSS!!

AH92

Loving this lads, Super Lampard on the wheel.

WTF is going on.

Quazzie

Phenomenal free kick.

A christmas Xhaka

That caps a fine half for Xhaka

2-0

Ol' Donie

Yes, I would like a goal from open play.

But if the set pieces are like that free, I'm okay with it.

He's been excellent

5star02707

Better than having Willian on the wing. ESR trying those through balls and martinelli on the wings definitely the difference

To be fair to him and by god have I cursed him, but he has always being a brilliant striker of the ball, it's from the shoulders up that he struggles.

My primary thought after that first half is that we should never see Luiz or Willian in Arsenal shirts evere again.

Dude, literally every single one of us wants him to succeed.

x PyRo

Xhaka running the midfield despite Elneny trying to lose every ball he gets. Just goes to show how important he is to the team, and how important what's going on ahead of him is.

We're pressing on another level this time.

U sure? Some want to throw him under a bus

WoollyRedHat

My word, that was actually enjoyable to watch.. great interplay on the wings and through the middle, that's how we should be playing.

Defo.

Maybe Aubameyang should sit it out too.

I think the problem is there a certain imbalance when certain players are on the pitch at same time, team becomes too static.
