Pabst The Physio

I got almost nothing to say of this first half. It happened. Nice to see Gyokeres on the field. That's it. There's nothing tactical to analyse in that first half.

Even thought it's nice to see some retrospective analysis, I'm amazed no one gave enough serious thought to workload during the season.

Also, let me just add to this. We might say Spurs are being spursy but that goal was made of bad choices. There might have been a foul in there, but you can't have a match where you bank on it being decided on the ref.
I use to say "It's your responsibility"... To win in this instance. Not the ref

Luckily it's pre-season, or I would probably have to have big feelings about this. Instead I'm just that bit of disappointed that you can be with a dog being very predictable but you wish it didn't

15 minutes for the lot. Why only 15? So strange.

So I know that there's a pre-game team talk in where substitution times are mentioned. And for that I'm more confused as to why Arteta is waiting. For what purpose?

Respect for Havertz, but I'm slightly concerned with our complete lack of outcome. Just shoot? Why not? The opportunity is there? Why wait until Spurs is settled?

Goal was pointed on MLS. But why that pass at all?

Arsenal still has an aversion for shooting

Yeah exactly. But Spurs had the ball afterwards.

How was that shoulder barge for Spurs? Foul for weakness??

Kai needs to shoe it instead of that shimmy

Interesting how low Spurs are sitting, since I'd thought Frank would want his signature high energy press to them.
Will it come or are they too unathletic?

I'm reserving judgement until start of the season, but grabbing Nørgaard as a Jorginho replacement seems like a very good deal for Arsenal. His height and positioning is helping Arsenal steady the ship

There's two cursed positions at Arsenal. Wearing shirt no 14 and captaining the team.

It looks like we've broken the captain curse
Hopefully Bug Vik can break the no 14 curse

What perfect album came out the year you turned 16?

It was a coin toss between this, Black Parade or Eyes Open by Snow Patrol, but based of the amount of wear and tear, this album won by miles

I'm excited we got Gyokeres - but am I the only one who thinks he gives off "Dumb as a rock Love Island" vibes?
I mean, I'm mostly just interested in his ability on the pitch, but he reminds me of the dude who used to beat me up in high school

I'm rotating between BlueSky, Arsenals Homepage and FB, in search of some news concerning the deal.
I'm almost expecting him to start today, just to spite us

Any exclusion criteria? Cause I've sprained my ankle a bunch of times, but since I'm a physio, I usually take care of all the medical stuff myself

How I remember Farlian Barllez. Le larping Blarnse they called him.

Post a gif of who you wanted to be as a kid

When Arteta has bought an established player for a position, the current option has seen very limited game time. Leno to Ramsdale, Ramsdale to Raya.
It would be a blessing to see minutes being shared between the front positions, but I doubt it

I have this nagging feeling that, if we're going to get Eze, that we might see a similar situation with Ødegaard, that we did with Ramsdale when Raya was brought in.
I would love to kid myself into thinking we might see Eze and Ødegaard share the minutes, bit Arteta have not shown that so far.

I second that

Oh god there's a fucking badge.
They're now forced to wear a gold circle, so they're easy to make out in a crowd.
There's going to be bars that's going to exclude CWC winners.

But can he gain as quick a feel good following as Nørgaard???

There should be yeah.

Arman Gouiri played a total of 989 mins and outscored our most prolific player.

Bar Biereth, I'd expect us to have a more prolific forward than people who were deemed too low qual for the prem.

Even Jackson scored more.
Strand Larsen, Wissa, Mateta in PL scored more.

Over the big 5 you see namely:
Retegui, Schick, Bukardt, Ekitike, Martinez. All players we also could look at.

But - ALSO, Lacazette, Perez, Moise Keane and - drumroll - Mika Biereth.
