Arsenal (A) - FA Cup 3rd Rnd, Sun 7th Jan 2024 (4:30pm)

I enjoyed that. 
 

A bit backs to the wall at times, particularly in the first half. 
 

But, the mentality monsters who went to mentality midgets showed signs of getting back to the Liverpool team you can rely on to grind out a win when it’s needed. 
 

Konate was definitely man of the match. But, Quansah didn’t do much wrong either. And to think he’s playing like that without the experience of van Dijk next to him shows that he’s got a great future ahead of him. Gomez was excellent too. Kept Saka fairly quiet for most of the game. 
 

I don’t think anybody was particularly bad. A very good team performance, particularly in the second half. 
 

On Quansah, I’m not sure if my eyes were seeing things but did anyone else pick up on him losing the ball high up in the Arsenal half and then appearing to play a game of hide and seek behind an Arsenal player and then just jump out on the other Arsenal player who had the ball and just crunch him with a boss slidey tackle? 
 

It was amazing. And funny.

I’m seriously impressed by the two young lads performances. They both just slotted in and were excellent.

Yes. I guess the word 'stay' hasn't been covered in Remedial English yet, unless you're talking Advanced Camp, but, well, stay with it.

Why's the antiques roadshow shit on, Where's the fucking draw.?

 

That's one of the piss offs with living in Wales, they fuck about with the tv schedules.

Only saw 10 minutes of the second half before i had to go out. I take it we improved massively?

Yeah much better mate. Subs helped along with Darwin moving to the left, Diogo going central and Diaz on the right.

They were absolutely excellent. Very, very promising for the future

It was the word ‘get’ that threw me.  I agreed with the word ‘stay’.    Crack on though.

Not enough Arteta in that coverage.  I want a bitter, resentful interview, BBC, and I want it NOW....!

What a game, very entertaining! The longer it went on I thought we’d Nick it!

 

It's the same most times we play them - Arsenal blow themselves out after about 45 minutes and are there for the taking after that.

That's how it should stay until Mo returns.

I think Cody was the main issue today, seemed to take an age to control and move the ball on. 

 

If Harvey wants to become a top player he needs to bring his right foot up to scratch. He is fairly slow anyway and when he has to take the time to shift it onto his left as well, he keeps getting caught. 

[Lee909]

No belief what so ever, like they are resigned to losing before it happened

Really enjoyed that second half. Momentum keeps building. 

 

Really thought Klopp was throwing it when they kids came in but they did great. Also figured out the team formation for the month. Diaz on the right was superb. Nunez better off the left, and Jota linking well and being a nuisance centre fwd. Gakpo can cover. 

 

Still have a problem at 6, and we are an injury away from real trouble in defence, but you couldn't be too negative putting Arsenal out in that fashion

 

 

[Lee909]

Have to laugh really

They looked decent last year but just like Guardiola he had to tinker with the team to show how good he is. 

Spent a fortune and now wants to spend the best part of 100ml on Toney as they need a striker, why buy Havertz,Raya in the summer

Yeah Diaz right and Elliott coming on as an impact sub where we can take one of the other two off as well if want and swap Diaz to left seems the better solution to me.

Don't worry, you wouldn't have enjoyed it.

Wait, Declan "One Hundred Million Pounds" Rice played tonight?

Fuck Off Arsenal
