There was some religious procession outside my house and i screamed so loud at that moment that the other cacophony went totally quiet.
Grav has stepped up even more defensively. he is so strong and has go go gadget legs
Heâs collecting cards like a boss, too!
Clearly Dom as MotM. I saw someone on the BBC describing his goal as being reminiscent of Cristiano Ronaldo. Really? When has that goal hanging wanker ever played right back?
I also noticed Dom say that he hadnât had many chances to take free kicks with Trent in the side. I wasnât sure whether that was a sly dig or simply a statement of fact.
Anyway, I was really pleased with our defence. Kerkez and Ibou were greatly improved, and the whole unit held up well. If we get that right, we will start to see the players further forward gelling.
I had a glance through the pre-match thread and, in common with the last two games, our players are rubbish, we have no depth, and we are useless in front of goal. Iâll put the 9 points down to wishful thinking.
Also, spot on.
More than the doctor ordered. Not only did we outscore them we came away with a clean sheet.
Hey! @Sithbare something did change in the second half. Jones came on, a player who could control the ball with his first touch and play passes that others and particularly Gakpo could control with a touch.
Won the free kick that Dom buried.
Dom was really good again, our best right back by a country mile, on top of that he showed Rice how to strike a ball and win a game.
Thought that was very soft, there was no attempt to make any contact, yet 2 mins later Zubi just swipes Codyâs legs from under him and no card.
Canât remember the challenge but I screamed YELLOW!!! at one point.
Nada.
Zubimendi was a bit shit today eh
He must have had a right kick up ther arse before the game he was back to his normal self.
No oneâs disagreeing with that. Our lot were immense in the second half.
But then. Whoâs disagreeing with Dom being the Man of the match ?
I may have shouted more than once, I mean poor old Endo, booked for his 1st challenge it was a perfectly fine rugby tackle!
I was screaming at the ref if his tackle was a yellow how come Arse player tackle which was much worse didnât even get a ticking off.
Terrible game of football for the best part of an hour, or whenever Jones came on, did a bit better after that but still didnât do an awful lot. Game was ultimately decided by 1 moment of genius.
Jones and Dom for me. Jones turned the match.
Of course Arsenal are the best team winning 25 corners to our 3. Merino flopping on the floor all the time, poetry in motion and all that.
Update from Slot on the injuries. Ibou is probably just cramp but they will check in the morning. Wirtz was cramp everywhere: âWelcome to the Premier League!â
Merino sounds like marine
