What the actual fuck is that red card

[–] TheBig2023Meltdown@lemmy.world 8 points 2 years ago (1 children)

That is some fucking BULLSHIT. HOWWWWW!????!?!?

[–] TheBig2023Meltdown@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

Fucking infuriating cannot be overturned because it's a yellow. Fuck that

[–] MHPengwingz@lemmy.world 7 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I would like to see Zinchenko and Trossard come on... This experiment isn't quite working

[–] coygsu@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

100%, players need to return to their usual positions.

[–] MHPengwingz@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Take Partey out and move Tomi back there..he works much better with Saka

[–] coygsu@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

I agree, then put Trossard in for Havertz around the 65th minute

[–] Gingerrific@lemmy.world 7 points 2 years ago

That is not a foul. Holy fuck was that a bad call.

[–] throbbingpens@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago (1 children)

That wasn’t even a foul + Ayew actually has made two yellow card fouls and is still on the pitch.

I don't want to overreact, but Zinchenko came on and we basically started controlling the game, even with 10 men

[–] ironeaglebird@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Now if only Zinchenko could stay healthy. We're a different team when he's on.

I just want a comfortable win. Hopefully the upcoming weekend but I'll settle for it being the United game.

[–] ironeaglebird@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago

Roy Hodgson seems like a good sport.

[–] ironeaglebird@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Another perfect last grasp tackle from Saliba.

[–] ironeaglebird@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Followed by Eddie sending the ball over the bar.

[–] MHPengwingz@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Eddie gotta stop doing this to us lmao

Oh wow, look at that! What a promising counter, if not for Eddie being fouled. I wonder if there's something that we could do to discourage players from doing that?

What a bullshit second yellow card. Ref has lost his fucking mind.

[–] LotrOrc@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

I don't get why we are playing with partey in defense and tomiyasu on his weaker side.

I get zinchenko is just coming back from injury but Tierney can't even make the bench? Put partey in with rice and have havertz come in off the bench if needed.

We don't look very fluid right now and having partey cleaning up in the midfield behind rice and odegaard would be really useful

[–] sensiblepuffin@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

ONE NIL TO THE ARSENAL

[–] sensiblepuffin@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Arteta looks fucking pissed

Partey man, I'm telling you. He's itching to give the ball away.

[–] HaleEndGrad@lemmygrad.ml 3 points 2 years ago

There you go, proper Arsenal matchday.

[–] MHPengwingz@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Yo Mikel's hair has gotten more gray

[–] ironeaglebird@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

The manager job taking 20 years off his life.

[–] MHPengwingz@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

There was no fucking contact wth

[–] HaleEndGrad@lemmygrad.ml 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Partey did well after the red card

Oh thank god we held on.

Mikel, pleaaaase do not try anything new Saturday. We were very lucky CP don't have any finishers.

I'm very ticked off about Tomiyasu's two yellows.

[–] sensiblepuffin@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

So they're still not punishing goalkeepers for taking five years to take a goal kick?

[–] sensiblepuffin@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I'm very curious to hear what Arteta has to say about the anti-time-wasting stuff they've implemented.

Grasping at straws a little bit...

[–] HaleEndGrad@lemmygrad.ml 2 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

Partey is a bit sloppy with his passes

[–] MHPengwingz@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Agree... He's just getting pushed around as well

[–] Arsenal4ever@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago (2 children)

I don't know why Arteta doesn't make some changes at the hour mark. Trossard for Nketiah, even Gabriel for Tommy.

You get some fresh legs up top, and a solid defense.

Tangent: Holy shit we're lucky.

[–] Oneser@lemm.ee 2 points 2 years ago

Because you don't make changes when things are looking like the 2nd goal is around the corner and no one is struggling

Party looks uncomfortable in that right corner.

It's kind of funny to watch defenders dance along while marking Martin, and then stumble because they can't keep up

[–] Gingerrific@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Sorry work, its going to be a slow afternoon for me. Not surprised to see the same line up, and hopefully we continue to build on out season with another win.

[–] sensiblepuffin@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Looooooooooool you're serious now?

[–] MHPengwingz@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Oh fuck....

[–] ironeaglebird@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago (3 children)

Rice lose a contact lense? I never consider footballers have them.

[–] sensiblepuffin@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago (2 children)

I wonder whether we'll ever see footballers get Lasik or similar subsidized by the clubs.

Feel like this one of these games where we need to shut this game down quick...Palace is definitely waiting for a mistake

[–] Arsenal4ever@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Crystal Palace are not a bad team.
