Arsenal (A) - CC Semi Final 2nd (not 1st!) leg, Thu 20th Jan 2022 (7:45pm)

[stringvest 14,082]

Jones running the game.  Henderson and Firmino invisible.  Jota doing the job that some people think Firmino is still capable of, linking up play, harassing the opposition and winning the ball back.  Oh, and scoring.  Wonder when the scales will fall from the eyes?

Just realised Hendo is on the pitch .

Well I dont know what game you're watching because he's had loads of the ball just not mentioned by the commentator. Pretty clear who tonight's whipping boy is going to be.

[Carvalho Diablo 16,892]

Honestly can't ever remember a game pass by / a player hide more, than Henderson here.

 

He can't have touched the ball 10 times. He's our captain and a central midfielder, where the fucking hell is he ffs?!

I thought he's done Ok so far.

Is the commentary Sky or Arsenal TV? Hard to tell the difference. 

[J-V 4,049]

He started the move for the goal with a "flick".

If someone shouts Blud or Fam or says the word Dis alot then it's Arsenal TV. If not your unlucky and watching on sky.

[J-V 4,049]

About fucking time

[Anubis 21,414]

About time. He does fuck all hit foul people.

Got to be careful here though, last thing we need is them going down to 10 men

Three possible bookings so far

[J-V 4,049]

Should be another yellow

[J-V 4,049]

Jones and Jota excellent.  Trent sort yourself out.

[Jordy Brouwer 738]

Enjoyed that. 

 

Keeper is the man of the half for me, narrowly nudging out Jota. 

 

Matip having an uncharacteristic off day. 

[dockers_strike 4,083]

Reckon arsenal players will start throwing themselves to the ground in our box in this second half and hope the crowd influences atkinson to give them a pen.

Jones is really comfortable on the ball. Makes things much easier. 

[Anubis 21,414]

They’ll come out guns blazing so stay on clock at the beginning of the second half. 

[Carvalho Diablo 16,892]

Can we just start calling Jota "Robbie" ?

 

The way he runs and plays is just uncanny.

[3 Stacks 3,364]

I've never heard a commentary team be more impressed by a 15 minute period than Arsenal's start to the game. A period in which they had one shot on target, from a free kick.

[Red_or_Dead 1,461]

Who the fuck is this commentator?  With him and Alan LIAR Smith it's like Arsenal's own channel.

 

Not played too badly, need a couple more though!

Although Matip’s clearing headers from corners have been superb. He has been a bit sloppy otherwise though.

[Carvalho Diablo 16,892]

Fabinho, Jonesy, Jota, Kellerher, Big Virg all played well so far.

Bit redundant that trick nowadays with VAR, they will probably still try it tho.
