We're playing a strong XI. I thought we might play Fernandes on the right and bring in Fred to sit on Odegaard.

 

 

[feltmonkey]

We're never getting another penalty, are we? 

 

Not that that one was cut and dried, but Argentina got one for that in the World Cup. 

[feltmonkey]

Rashford!  

 

What a goal!

[MikeBeaver]

GEt in!!!

Wan-Bissaka's big weakness defensively is that he isn't very good at defending the back post from crosses, and it was in full effect there.

[Loik V credern]

Arsenal are playing like their life depends on it. Tbf Rashford scored his goal like his life depended on it. Amazing game. 

[feltmonkey]

Anthony Taylor is giving every 50-50 decision Arsenal's way. He's given quite a few 60-40 in our favour Arsenal's way. He's playing up to the home crowd. It's infuriating.

[Gabzy]

Every time we start praising AWB, he comes back with a vengeance. Damn.

[feltmonkey]

Well, I'd take this scoreline as the result, to be honest. Arsenal feel more threatening than even Man City did last week. They swarm at you. We've not really created anything ourselves yet, but they've looked close to scoring a few times and are constantly putting our midfield and defence under pressure. Our goal came from a brilliant bit of individual play rather than good team play or match control.  

 

We need to somehow get some control. As I said, a fair ref would help. Every player in possession is constantly getting little kicks at the back of their heels. Considering we have a twelve foot tall striker, it would help if we started getting some free-kicks when we get fouled around their box.

[Gabzy]

Rashford, btw… 🌟

[5R7]

what a joke of a ref, that is not a card!

[Gabzy]

Well, we came out sleepwalking second half so no surprise. Great strike from Saka.

[feltmonkey]

Brilliant goal that, not a lot you can do about that.

[feltmonkey]

I think we should bring Garnacho on. Move Rashford either into the centre or the right.

was just about to say, garnacho on for wout, rashford centre!

[Gabzy]

LICHAAAAAAAA!!!!

 

what a great header, quick thinking.

[feltmonkey]

Martinez!!!  

 

What a clever finish to get that up and over Ramsdale and the defenders.

Wout has been really useful for us today though. I think it might be worth hooking Antony, who has been okay, but looks like he might get himself sent off.

[Nicky]

i think martinez is quite possibly our best signing since ferdinand.

[Gabzy]

SHAW STOP LETTING THEM STROLL THE BALL INTO THE BOX

[Loik V credern]

Commentators and pundits often criticise keepers for not saving low fast quickly hit shots that go in. But those shots keep going in and all the best keepers can't save them. I think put all the best keepers in the world in De Gea's position there and the ball goes in. Not because it was an unstoppable shot but because it's that same combination of quickly hit, power and accuracy that if executed near perfectly keepers can't get down quickly enough. Or they're 'unsighted'. 

[5R7]

MCFRED!!!!! 

[Gabzy]

We need Garnacho on, and Rashford down the middle. We need to score.

[Gabzy]

DDG with his flappy punches again.. we’re doomed.

[feltmonkey]

We've got to keep Weghorst on now. He's doing a great job defending corners!

 

Eriksen is the guy to take off. He's a step off the pace defensively.

[feltmonkey]

That looks offside. Fingers crossed!

 

Edit - damnit 

[MikeBeaver]

FFS

[5R7]

hes off when he plays the ball in!?! fuck off. the ref has given this to arsenal
