Almost forgot how beautiful football is when Martin Ødegaard is on your side.

We lack decisiveness and that's why we are suffering right now.

I LOVED how Martinelli wanted the goal to be for Gyok.

Good rotation today. Very interesting match to watch.

Very interested in seeing how MLS plays the position today. I would bet it will be Calafioriesk.

We did it!! All of our per combined at the end

Maybe we all need to do it at the same time.

I mean, we "only" have 4 attacking players if you count Merino.

I liked Gyokeres in this half also. We all want him to be scoring freely, but the last few games I felt like he was out of sync with the team and that was the main drawback for his non-contribution.

While not all the way there he definitely helped much more with the build up.

Though I'll say we need to be ruthless in the final third. We need to PUNISH those fuckers.

Arsenal have been the better team by a distance. We just lost control of ourselves at the end.

I have seen Trossard moving to the inside channel letting Calafiori wide. If Ode comes in I suppose Eze Will take those places from the left.

Martins pressing would be really helpful; don't know how many minutes he has available today.

Watching the Replay of the penalty makes me so damn angry.

We started well enough. The ref and VAR shifted the momentum. We ended that half trying to overcome that shit. I saw a lot of overcomitting on different actions which I 1000% comes from a sense of injustice.

We shouldn't dictate our play based on that prick. We have enough to overturn this.

That is a desgracia if I ever saw one.

From what I see is a mixed marking system. Our biggest playera are grouped in front of the keeper and about 3 get to man marking. Is not just 1:1

Come to think of it, possession is probably not 1:1 to xG. I mean it probably is a concave downward relationship. Because if you have 0% possession you obviously have 0 shots, but the same applies to 100%. Would be interesting to find out statistically.

So, I believe this was a bad game from Arteta. The start of the game we were bad (I think because of the starting XI). And I think that while getting Saka and Eze on at HT was the right decision, subbing Noni was not. Also, the rest of the subs were a bit late IMO.

That ball had to travel like 5 meters in the air to avoid that log of a keeper.

Oh my, beautiful.

I would rate the Noni chance in the first half as a good one, but overall agree with the point.

Way too late to get Ethan on.

I think at this time we need a little more ambition. Give me Nwaneri for Zubimendi. I need more shots from outside

Dear Ref,

If you let them grab, they will grab.

You fuck

I really feel like Gyok still doesn't understand where to move in relation to who is carrying the ball.

What I'm very excited is for Eze in the middle.

Oh shit, didn't expect Madueke top be subbed.

A half of Saka that is good news.
Hope he shakes the rust quickly.

We closed brightly the half. We still need to convert the momentum into actual goal chances and take those, but overall the end of the half was positive.

Would still take Eze for Trossard and any time we can get from Saka (unless we score 3 unanswered goals in the first 10 minutes).

This shot I meant.
