Imagine telling someone that Elneny and Cedric would play together in 2023
Oh, thank god, Cedric is on.
Said it before and I'll say it again - always happy when this dude has to earn his bread for the week
It ain't Holdini but it'll do
Zinny has not been great today.
Very casual play
Starting to feel a little terrified ngl
We haven't had a spell of attacking play for a while now.
Only ones are the one that Kai made and that shot from Eddie also from the left.
What an block from Jakub Kiwior
Makes a goal-line clearance with his ass... there's a twerk joke to be made here somewhere
🤣
One thing I've noticed is Havertz keeps having someone in his exact location when he gets the ball. Wonder why.
@Astrealix agreed. Of any player in all the games he’s the most likely to run into one of his teammates
Bit worried about zinchenko coming on... he s great on the ball but he switches off defensively and that could hurt us in this match
prophetic
Lol took two seconds
Liking how Kai has defended so far
actually hate this kit :P
I'd wager 8/10 fans dislike this jersey.
Ramsdale, what a save
Kiwior, wow
Beautiful move from ESR, vintage stuff
NELSON :D Also Sagoe Jr does well there
or is that eddie, i can't see the number and I don't recognise sagoe jr lol
That was sweet by esr shame didn't have a better end product
It is Eddie, I just assumed based on it being on the RW lol
still WOOO HALE END
Ramsdale should just toss it towards their net lol
Sagoe Jr has QUICK feet
Sagoe Jr played well, a lot of potential, quick feet and good decision making.
Thought that was a 9 on the scoreboard for a second, terrified me lol
What was Kai even doing? Lazy shot
Groan, plead kai just finish one
Or at least place it on target and force a difficult save
If I speak, I am in big trouble
Kai Havertz did quite good there, Nelson needs to slot that in though
Needed a full 90 from Nelson and ESR
ESR's first start in ages, probably can't play the full game. Nelson might not be too great either cuz of the relative lack of preseason. Also probably tactical given that we have 2 midfielders on for a midfielder and a winger.
I understand. It just seemed like they had more left in their tank.
A bit desperate at this moment, we are.
Havertz hasn't been bad but he has offered nothing either. Every time the ball goes to him it's a poor touch or a lazy pass and he slows us down
@LotrOrc @Astrealix sums up his arsenal career so far
KING OF 🇪🇬
Would have been another for the El Neny long-range bangers comp
Cedric? They said you was dead.
His death was greatly exaggerated.
Brentford attackers has missed some great chances
It's what separates midtable from Europe tbh.
Who were they doing the Cazorla chant for?
Ramsdale isn't giving that spot up without a fight
We needed that on target, son.
Elneny so closeeeeee
Kiwi has been pretty decent this match
What a save.
We're just going to try and hold on now aren't we, this is not going to be fun.
Looks like it. Jesus is on. He can score.
Gabriel did really well there
No VAR mate why you playing after the whistle and complaining
just THROW the ball in
MY KEEPER
Good by Ramsdale there to come out and clear it, albeit worrying XD
This is the ESR that Arteta doesn't think can break into the starting lineup? He's looked so far bar the corners he took.
@coygsu @Astrealix wait has he been good?
Arteta has been pretty full of praise for him tbf recently, but he's been out for a good while and needs to prove his way back into the team
Charles is on the right, interesting that he's ahead of ACD if that's the case
Good feet to retain the ball by Sagoe
Having to leave class so I gotta stop watching for a bit :P
Ramsdale has gotta do better.
Nelson deserves to start with Jesus up the middle.
Did I make it in time for the end ? How did we play?
ELNENY IS BACKKKKKKK BANGER INCOMING
Not a good couple of sequences there for Nketiah
how's that not a foul on nketiah??
Elneny vs Barcelona flashbacks
4-4-2?? I'm not sure how we're lining up lol, no wingers
Cedric coming on 🤔
Don't think we've done a 4-4-2 diamond in forever? With this squad, at least.
80 minutes for ESR and Nelson
Kai's brightest moment of the match. Nelson should have scored.
FOR FUCK'S SAKE WHOSE IDEA WAS THAT
WHERE ARE THE DEFENCE????
What's the formation now I wonder lol
Guessing a 5-3-2 with Havertz up top and Tomi as CB?
yeah that's what it looks like
Carlos Cuesta looks terrified
Aston Villa 4-2 moment for Havertz?
