I love goals where the goalkeeper just stands there without moving.
I’m used to seeing them against us in the women’s team, it’s refreshing to give the goalie no chance instead of having our goalie not have one
Nwaneri is such a baller
COBRA KAI STRIKES AGAIN
I don’t want to recognize a single name on the teamsheet today.
Your wish is not Arteta’s command
Arsenal: Setford, Timber, Saliba, Kiwior, Zinchenko, Jorginho, Merino, Nwaneri, Sterling, Martinelli, Jesus. Subs: Raya, Nichols, Lewis-Skelly, Heaven, Partey, Rice, Trossard, Saka, Havertz.Goddamnit I can read all of this. Can’t say I disagree with it, though. Outside of our first 11 we are extremely low on match sharpness (and I think that’s why a lot of people consistently think we need more players when we really don’t).
It seems to me that this is exactly the kind of match where you play players who lack match sharpness. Zinchenko, Kiwior, Jorginho and Sterling I can see because they’re first team players but they’re lacking in sharpness. I can even see playing Gabriel Jesus because he needs to find his form (and luckily he just scored). But Martinelli, Merino, Saliba and Timber really shouldn’t be playing. I hope they’re all removed at halftime.
Exactly! Zinchenko, Jesus, Kiwior, Jorginho, Sterling are all fit, but lack sharpness because they haven’t been getting any game time. I think that honestly everyone except for Gabriel, Saliba, and Rice, need rest and they haven’t been able to get it because of cards, fixtures, and international play. I’m glad that all of them are playing, but I wish we had Tomi to swap Timber out at some point. That ACL needs to heal right.
And when Gabriel Martinelli went down I was groaning. Imagine losing him for an extended time because Arteta went with a strong team in the league cup. I really rank the league cup just barely above the community shield.
Thing is, and I mean no disrespect to anyone, Sterling, Jesus, Zinchenko, and Kiwior do not currently make up part of a good squad. They’re just not sharp enough. Jesus and Zinchenko are coming back from being injured with insufficient minutes, which makes it difficult. Sterling is still adjusting to not being handed free kicks and penalties like candy. Kiwior I’m not sure if I can defend anymore, he’s made several extremely costly mistakes in three appearances so far. Trossard needs rest and Martinelli has been on the ascendancy recently, so it makes sense to gamble on him if you’re going to gamble on anyone.
Kiwior I’m not sure if I can defend anymore, he’s made several extremely costly mistakes in three appearances so far
You almost summoned up another one.
wakawaka ey eyyyyy
That’s a fucking nice volley.
It’s amazing how slowly he kicks it. The body position makes it look like he’s driving it, but it’s really just a slow, careful volley.
I think I have a virus and feel like shite. I’m just gunna watch the game. I may drop in at half time or something
You’ll feel much better when you see Nwaneri’s 67’ screamer from outside the box.
Briefly. The sudden movement in celebration was uncomfortable though xD
Get better soon! I’m also not feeling too great, but that’s prolly cuz I took the flu (and COVID booster) vaccine yesterday lmao.
I got both barrels today as well, I always try and justify it as getting it over with, but it just as often knocks me on my ass for a day or so.
The main reason I’m annoyed is that I had a midterm that was rescheduled to today and tbf it was easy but I probably should have rescheduled my shots till after that, lol.
Definitely need to plan those, lol. I think when I got mine during COVID and I was WFH at the time, I had it late afternoon and when my symptoms kicked in, I told my boss and got off early.
I didn’t use to have as bad a reaction towards the shots. Think it’s cuz I’m having both at once, it’s not as easy for the body to deal with.
Not out of refusal, but I don’t remember the last time I got a cold shot. COVID boosters are also probably long overdue, but not sure how that’s handled in Norway. Not looked into it
what a goal from Nwaneri, holyyyy
the high seas are getting worse and worse.
Bro, you were in the middle of a fouling spree and the ref let two fouls go already. Why would you jump in there? And how do you have the audacity to argue that you don’t deserve a card?
Sterling deserved one there, damn, good defending.
Eaaasy yellow. Maybe even a red on a different day.
Setford looks pretty calm and collected, honestly.
It would be nice to have another Arsenal academy GK make it. There sure have been a lot of GK prospects lately:
- Karl Hein
- Brian Okonkwo
- Ovie Ejeheri
- Hubert Graczyk
- João Virgínia
- Jack Porter
- Alexei Rojas
Man City are 2-0 down against Spurs.
Spursy moment incoming? 🤔
If not, it means the dominant club is knocked out of this competition.
City have pulled one back already
ngl, would rather Spurs win than City this early into the competition.
Nwaneri said “nobody makes me miss twice”
