At least it’s better than Ifti’s.

“Sensational delivery from Raya” to set Martinelli away on a quick break.

See, that’s what he’s in the team for, not this boring goalkeeping bit

Have you ever had both in a korma though…

Flekken is crap but that was more than a minor foul. His arms are held down by Saliba - we know the gameplan with Arsenal… they hold and crowd the goalkeeper until the ball is delivered then all let go as if that makes it ok. It stops the GK having any momentum or a chance to claim their space.

If the GK tries to push the player away then they exagerrate the contact and try and claim a penalty. Its cheating.

Then you see them defend corners and they are crying about any contact at all on them.

In a way I guess you have to praise the way they will win by any method but on the otherhand its a bit embarrassing that a squad as expensively assembled as this has to cheat on every set play.

Referees need to wise up and start giving the fouls. Its not even subtle.

Van Den Berg looking poor not good enough in possession

Will Carvalho score?

Let’s be honest, no. He’s not even on the bench.

Pathetic refereeing

Just hate that, defender nowhere to go and attacker charges him in the back for an easy freekick, should dock him pay for stupidity

Lewis-Potter is crap

But how many times do you see that with defender in the corner and nowhere to go

All the time yeah its very irritating. You expect players at the top of the game to be much smarter.

It’s the smarter bit that is lacking

This is we can only rely on ourselves. Hopefully Brentford don’t show up against us.

I’ve been in the pub for most of the last fortnight, so missed this:

I only wish I were there to see @Sweeting 's face when he sees his mate, Gvardiol, make the cut, while they somehow have Saka ahead of Salah. :man_shrugging:

I must still be drunk.

That team is a fever dream. Doing a calendar year award that combines two parts of two season can produce weird results, but even with that caveat that is some weird shit. The two that jump out are the other two Arsenal picks. Saliba is by some distance of the better of the two primary Arsenal CBs, and Havertz as a striker is just odd

London bias still alive and well, I see.
