Arsenal (A) - Sun 4th Feb 2024 (4:30pm)

[TheHowieLama]

That was great.

[Carvalho Diablo]

Darwin getting ready to come on.

[Rushies tash]

Have we had a shot on target? Not sure if the Sky commentary have mentioned it.

[Freddo]

Gravenberch is a passenger here. Gakpo not much better to be honest. We need to defend Martinelli so much better. 

[bizzle10]

Make some changes Jurgen please Gravenberch is just not ready for this level

[Reckoner]

Glad I chose not to post slagging off Diaz and calling him a shit useless cunt.

I like him.

[stringvest]

They'll come flying out of the blocks second half after the 'injustice' of giving a late goal away there. Nunez could capitalise as long as he's been practicing with that banjo and the cow's arse.

[Baltar]

We've been poor but I'll take that for now! Play better in the 2nd half and we can win this.

[Elite]

Didn't need to with Saliba's go-go-gadget arms.

[Jordy Brouwer]

I was surprised Grevenberch got ahead of Elliot and I think perhaps it should change. 

[Bobby Hundreds]

Make changes at half time, give Trent a bollocking his work ethic has become fucking unpalatable. Stop making Arsenal look like they are a better side than us because they aren't we just seem to shit the bed as a footballing side against them. We can outplay these fucking biffs.

[Mark M]

We need energy on the pitch - all the players look so lethargic.

Robbo & Nunez at HT 

gravenberch & Gakpo half been poxy

I hope they feel sorry for themselves and they will not recover.

I think he plays better on the right. He's much more direct.

Trent gets an easy ride because he's English, the match of the day lads coo over him endlessly, but his defending is shite and his set pieces are shite, and his attitude stinks. He hasn't been good for at least 18 months.

Fuck me

[Caramac]

[AngryOfTuebrook]

I was going to post that 1-0 isn't the worst half-time scoreline: we're the best in the league at growing into games, making impact subs and turning games around.

 

Obviously, 1-1 is better than 1-0.

[Tony Moanero]

A heads-up for those interested, Ski Sunday started 10 minutes ago.

probably pop his g-string

[skend04]

Gravenberch, Gakpo, Trent and Jones might as well not be playing. And then like Arsenal wouldn't be pumped up enough, we play to encourage it more. Crazy that we are level at half-time.

[El Rojo]

Would have taken Gravenberch and Diaz off but Lucho gets a reprieve.

 

Get Elliott on and Nunez on for Gravenberch and Gakpo.

[Carvalho Diablo]

1st half highlights.

 

[No2]

Would have snapped your hand off for 1 nil when the board went up for 3 minutes. 1-1 is better. I'd bring Darwin, Harvey and Robbo on right now for Gakpo, Gravenberch and Gomez.

[niallers]

 Need to just sit and and hit them on the break now. Gomez to right full,robbo on for better balance and Stick trent in next to mac

[Nelly-Szoboszlai]

Arsenal have done us a massive favour there. Right before half-time. They go in dejected, we go in buzzing. 
 

Apart from that error, Arsenal have been very good. Particularly without the ball. It’s like they’ve got more than 11 men. They’ve let our defenders have the ball and haven’t allowed an inch of space in midfield for us to play through, centrally. 

 

It’s all to play for though. I’d consider Robertson on for Gomez, to give us a bit of width to stretch the game and because Gomez is on a yellow. Got to introduce Núñez at some point too. Just to liven things up a bit!
