Arsenal beat Leicester, as expected but after 80 minutes it was 0-0 and it was looking good for us. Then emergency stand in striker Merino was left completely unmarked in the middle of the six yard box and headed them in front. I switched it off then so didn’t see his second goal.
Every game for Arsenal is potentially going to be a grind because of their lack of strikers, and a team with more attacking quality and a back four that isn’t completely fucking useless would probably have taken points off them. Even with their obvious deficiencies Leicester almost managed it, but Arsenal ground it out which is what they are going to have to keep doing if they’re going to close us down.
I’d definitely back them over us to keep a clean sheet all day, so they have that in their favour, but that forward line just isn’t going to cut it, especially as Arteta will probably have to overplay them as he has no-one else. That Nwaneri kid is fucking brilliant though. What a talent he looks. He was like a one man attack for them at times. He hit the bar with a brilliant effort from distance with his left foot, and then he hit the post with a thunderbolt on his right foot. He’s already better than any forward they have other than Saka.
Not a good day for Sterling though, who looks way older than his passport says now. It’s not the age, it’s the mileage, and there’s a lot of miles on his clock. He just seems to have lost his way since leaving City and maybe he’s just not motivated anymore. My gut tells me he’s going to come up with a big moment for them soon though, especially as their fans are absolutely slaughtering him. Hope I’m wrong like.
Leicester need to just fuck off back to the Championship. Can’t be doing with them, or Southampton. Sick of them. They aren’t going to compete in the Premier League so they’re a waste of a spot. The only things I don’t dislike about Leicester are Jamie Vardy and Walkers Crisps. Actually I quite like Lineker, but Willie Thorne can fuck off, the bald bastard. Wait, is he dead? If he is I take that back….
*googles*
Yeah he is, died in 2020. He was only 66 too. That’s shit that is. Rest in Peace, Willie.
But yeah, Leicester need to fuck off.
