@sabreW4K3 midfield wasn't sharp without Rice or Partey starting, but, yes, Havertz looks to have his tail up from the get-go. It'll be interesting to see what he can deliver in the season to come.

You're right. He was covering more ground to assist Jorginho and when he got to play in his pockets, we saw the best of him.

I missed the pre-game festivities, did we do anything for Granit?

[–] sabreW4K3@lazysoci.al 1 points 3 months ago

I didn't watch. I hate pregame stuff.

Unrelated to the goal but Vieira is no good aerially

[–] sabreW4K3@lazysoci.al 2 points 3 months ago

Jorginho is pissed 😂

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

Arsenal players take advantage of advantage given challenge (impossible)

[–] sabreW4K3@lazysoci.al 2 points 3 months ago

Lewis-Skelly looks so good

[–] sabreW4K3@lazysoci.al 1 points 3 months ago

If Havertz weren't going for a penalty there, he could've got a shot off.

Okay, the commentators made it seem like much more of a worldie than it was :D

Decent first half. My only disappointment is how poor Leverkusen look.
