I think because it began with Gabriel, there was no one to take charge - Kiwior was pre-flustered and everything fell apart from there
idk that it even began with Gabriel, Raya was really close for no reason at the start which is kinda part of why Gabriel went the way he did
True, he came out but Gabriel waved him off telling him not to come for it. Maybe he was trying to tell Raya to stay back, but at that point the damage was done
Zinny on for Kiwior is an interesting pick, but an understandable one
People needed a reminer why Zinny starts apparently lol
To be fair, Tomi woulda been nice for this game but I assume he isn't ready.
Yeah, I've been in that camp if I'm honest. Mostly his defending not being as good as others in the squad and his injury record for us. But what he brings in experience and skill in other areas I'm sure most teams in the PL would die for.
I still want him in the team, I still think he's invaluable and still has a part to play.
I think he's our best leftback overall, just that defence can be concerning when coming up against like, Salah type just best in the world wingers lol. He's good, just not amazing at defending, but everything else easily makes up for it, other than injury proneness but that's just part and parcel of being an Arsenal fullback not named White.

Yeah. I think starting Kiwi for the defensive stability was good, but it obviously didn't pan out and it seems the midfield presence is going to be much more important at the moment.
Harry sure is used to getting away with fucking murder, isn't he
also very stupid penalty to give up from Saliba.
Oh my god I thought that was gonna get headed in. Woulda been offside but whew
Starting strong, let's push on.

I fucking love you Trossard!
What is Kane even doing? He's just kind of running at people but never really challenging for the ball.
Even though we're behind, Jorginho and Gabi doing their little warmup jig makes me laugh
Yknow wha'ts the most annoying part of this? we've dominated the stats. Idk about how the actual game has been but we've dominated basically every stat besides xG and that's cuz we gave up a pen lmfao

In fairness, it was a bit of a lull in the action. Annoyed that City are already up, though

I love me some Trossard. I feel like he's the best impact player for us when coming in off the bench

I feel a late goal coming, cmon!
Time for Arteta to set the efogging standards
Kane, can't fucking score for England or to win anything but can score to fuck over us. Honestly one of the most frustrating players despite at the same time also being definitely an amazing striker.
That should be another card, Christ he chopped him like a tree
Something I've noticed a few times - when we put a cross into the box, multiple people will go for it, which gives the defender an easy place to put the ball since soe much space is vacated. I'd rather see Jesus and Havertz take turns challenging in the air and the other watch for the second ball.

Lol they aren't even trying to press our centerbacks :D
Was dealing with school related shit, I see that we've been fucked up :p its fine we've got 135 minutes to go
My sentiments as well. The little bit of the game I've seen we look comfortable and are getting chances.
I'm not too worried about this result. A CL win would be fan-fucking-tastic. But I think the squad is still a little green for European football and I would rather focus on the PL.
Honestly I think as long as we give it a good run for their money i'm not too fussed. Like I will be annoyed, for sure, but we're also in pole position for the league right now so I can't be tooo bothered by it.
Agreed, which is what it looks like we're doing. We're not trying to hold out for a result, we're going in to try win the game.
Also naturlich Harry gets a penalty against us
I'm liking most of the refereeing. Maybe a little card happy which could balloon as the half goes on
He's been pretty reasonable so far
Real equalized, lol
I fear for our Starboy's ankles, even if they are adamantium
Zinchenko coming on - I'm not sure if that's actually a good idea, but I suppose we'll see
LET'S
FUCKING
GOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK JUST HAPPENED
The obligatory Harry Kane pen
Absolutely deserved, it was like 15 seconds of last-ditch defending
