Take that bald fraud
Ramsdale saving pens!
I know right!?!?
Also never forget how Trossard's goal broke lemmy.world
I know! I can straight here and nothing was loading
lol an Arsenal player must die before City get a card, I see
They're all Man U fans they should hate City but we're too good and they're too oily lol
kids who didn't watch the game will tell me tomorrow how City dominated us
Nah dw we've got goals in us yet
They're lining up to tell you now
the reason we're playing counter-attack is the lack of a certain Ukrainian inverted man
the reason we've a clean sheet is Timber
And saliba tbh stopping haaland
Which is a good thing. We don't need to expose our wings. Sometimes a block with Tierney was the best option in the previous season.
"We like to bend the rules that's what we do" yeah that's City
@Astrealix 115 financial violations? We're Man City!
AHAHAHAHAHA GET FUUUUUUUCKED YOU OIL BARONS
Yes Saks, you're back!
I really enjoy how these match threads aren't so pessimistic. I'm sure the Reddit one is going on about how our season is doomed.
30 minutes into the first half I realized that our defense looks so much stronger. Timber and rice have brought some great football IQ and strong skills to the the team.
You can tell the confidence is there in the players watching them. They are all cool, calm, collected on the ball and can really pass and move well, which helps when we have the ball. Defensively as a unit they are quite solid and have done well to hold City to 3 shot, none of which were on target.
They're fucking everywhere
Rough start but we're getting into it.. odegaard is a beast, jurrian timber is fantastic, saliba is intelligent, martinelli + saka 😍
#COYG
Yellow card for Pep? lol
Feels like if it were Arteta he'd be sent off for even breathing in the refs direction
He already got a yellow like first minute for asking for a legitimate yellow ffs
Asking for a card against City? Fire him into the sun.
Timber is having a fantastic second half.
Less attacks from him than the first half but he's doing pretty good yeah
I think that's the issue. He's just not comfortable going season
COME ON YOU GUNNERS!!! 💥💥💥 LETS FUCKING GOOOOOOOOOOOOO
HERE WE FUCKING GOOOOOOOO
8 minutes. Lol. I already like these new stipulations on added time.
Taking Timber off really destabilized us.
So did this ref come out of the Manchester factory or...?
Atwell did that city game where Gabriel got sent off, so...
Refs not biased btw
Completely not, they like to compliment the colors red and white with the color yellow
Palmer literally kicking Trossard yet "Trossard taking exception to Cole Palmer"
Commentators can fuck themselves with a stiff pineapple
Should be off the fucking pitch
Good try from Saka there, he scores those sometimes
Havertz attempt saved again... We have had the better chances.
Why is Saka playing so centrally?
Offensive structure doesn't make sense. Players look lost in the final third.
100%. Our fluidity in the final was missing and that was confusing given how we looked against our other preseason opponents
Wait, did Gabriel get a yellow for that...?
Interfering and timewasting I'm assuming; bloody stupid card though
Ffs... there's time wasting but, a yellow for something like that is pretty stupid.
Trust the refs to use us to make an example of their new changes
guy has plot armour
lol Rodri dodging yellows, wow
Rodri must have photos of Howard Webb on that child molester's boat
That was worse than Partey's for sure lmfao, but ok
ARTETA'S GETTING A YELLOW YOU WOT MATE
The cards handed/not handed out feel so odd and inconsistent already. This season will be interesting...
Great block from Timber
He basically just kicked a man when he was down...
8 minutes is fine to score a goal cmon lads
Wow , Odegaards move was absolutely filthy. Disrespectful on those ankles
Had him on his knees then limping to get up lol
where's roy keane now ya fuckin shite
Haaland drops deep to receive every clearance from the back
Yeah, definitely a tactical thing going on there to get attacks going, he's deeper than Lacazette sometimes used to be
Idk why I typed counters
Andddd he's off for Cole Palmer of all people
I wonder if that's because he wasn't getting much service? Or maybe Pep is trying something different?
lol, havertz on a yellow
KT MY BELOVED
That looked like it hurt
Can't hear a single fucking chant from Man City, what a surprise — granted that's on TV not in the actual ground but still
Ødegaard silky
He made it look so easy
yes get fucked you fucking removed get fucked
Stop murdering Saka
RAMSDALE YOU NEED TO NOT DO THAT
The commentators early on commented on how little of the ball Arsenal had. But, City weren't doing too much, so I was happy just to weather the storm and build confidence :)
THIS MATCH NEEDS TROSSARD!
Timber my man
No yellow for Rodri?!?!?!?!?
ESR vs KDB, Croydon De Bruyne vs Kevin De Bruyne
Good first half overall. City don't look sharp right now and if we can just be more clinical we got this.
how did this team win the treble
Not the same team Tbf, no Gundogan and no Mahrez and KDB didn't play with Haaland today
RAMSDALE GOOD SAVE
Timber really cementing out his starting spot.
Rip Tierney :(
without looking I'll guess what's trennding on twatter - #HavertzOut
#ArtetaOut, and a #WengerOut for good measure
More Chelsea fans having a laugh compared to Arsenal fans bashing Havertz.
Rodri still running around without a yellow card.
Story of his existence
Keep forgetting Partey has pace
Not convinced on Havertz. Convinced on Timber.
I'm not completely sold on him just yet either. But, I haven't been able to catch a pre-season game so far and he's not being played in his ideal position.
This is a new team for him as well after being at the manager cluster-fuck of Chelsea
I'm hopeful he grows into his boots under Arsenal. I feel there is a player in there that could benefit us!
It will be interesting to see how it works when Jesus drops in and Havertz fills the space. Havertz and Rice are big boys who take up a lot of space in the midfield when we don't have the ball.
Easy conclusion to me. I'm in the same boat. Always felt a striker was a better option then a replacement for Xhaka.
That would have been 1 minute in the olden days huh
@[email protected] did you end up finding any of those drugs?
i'll just go to sleep
Haha, may as well stay the final 6+ minutes and keep the rest of us company xD
I'll let you cry on my shoulder if I can cry on yours
YOU WERE SAYING MOTHERFUCKER XD
Time for a Tierney long throw I reckon
Havertz has to do better there.
Eddie woulda scored that
We need to fucking score
Arteta red card this season. My fuggin manager!
Granit Xhaka's final gift
Rice is sometimes dropping in as third CB here, interesting
Ramsdale just dangling it out there for a Haaland tap in.
red card to Kai for letting Dias fall
Dunno why they get the ball, there was no foul lol
Rice interceptions, I love it.
ESR resurgence season
Havertz hold up play. I love to see it.
Havertz suites us up top much more than he did at Chelsea.
do you want penalties? i don't want penalties
Switch on Turner for pens? Could be his last Gunner game
Part of Rodri's salary goes to commentators
That's a decent idea there
Saliba cool as ever even with a player all over him.
Ødegaard comes on, instantly pressing
Lovely
Of course Gabriel gets a card for running back and being kicked in the ass /lh
Jsut send everyone forwards, hell take Ramsdale off
Still genuinely can't believe we have Declan Rice
Good reaction from Ortega. Havertz received the ball a bit awkwardly.
Yeah, Ortega did well, but Havertz shouldn't have shot in the first place with where Martinelli was imo
Odegaard please no, that man has a family
Declan you aren't Partey/Elneny/Xhaka yet mate
Aw that was a real chance there
great run of play
Less great a corner but yeah we're coming into this game a bit more. Want to see more from that right side though
God save the King sounds so wrong
You'd never catch me singing that even if I was from the UK
They've awakened away form Ramsdale.
Why cut to City fans we all know they're paid
"Report anti-social behaviour" well that's me fucked from that ad
watching The Arsenal is cardio in itself
As always
Havertz really needs to stop shooting it right at the GK . What a clear cut chance.
No one's helping Tierney there
I'm about to start crying at work holy heck..... I fucking love you Trossard you cheat code 😭
Partey and Walker should both not be allowed to continue ngl
FINALLY!
Also I honestly don't think that shoulda been a card lol, not convinced Alvarez realised it was out
Ngl thought it was a card to Timber
Hungry Nketiah
Abu Dhabi’s government is investing in premier league refs?
Tell Howard Webb to shove his whistle right up his ass
what drugs would you recommend to an arsenal fan? I'm not feeling very well
All of them
Gimme some of what you're having
Just get some sleep, drink a lot of water
Stream the fuck
Wtf... no yellow?
Yeah, alright...
ESR come on my man
That back heel from Trossard was beautiful
Saliba and White combo to bully Haaland.
Plus Partey
Havertz shoulda passed that
Yes, but the shot was decent
Yeah it was surprisingly good given the situation.
Fuuuu... c'mon!
Another chance
Rice pressing as part of the front line
Bye bye Haaland
My word don't knock that back across goal again please
Are we getting to get a card this time? No? Why am I surprised
the camera focuses on a few city players and I can't help but scream profanities
Is there a way to have the thread refresh? Or is it just a good ol' F5?
Sync for lemmy has a sports mode that auto refreshes ;)
Ooo! I will check it out. Thanks! :)
Clicking the title works
Alrighty, thank you :)
F5 can be a dangerous game, depending what window I have active xD
Just a tiny bit early, in case my stream's too late lol
I am excited for the potential of more ESR this season.
Hopefully he stays fit and kicks on :)
where's the Raya propgandists now
That was straight at him. I'm not a Raya propagandist. I'm a competition propagandist lol
Fuck them not putting Holding on Notable Bench lol I wouldn't be surprised if he comes on for the 5-2-3 plan today
Just realised but it's interesting that Martinelli took that, feel like we never have him take them
That's an interesting point... I didn't consider that.
It's usually Ode, right?
Ødegaard, Xhaka, Cedric I think?
Can city get a card
Those boys are far too nice to ever deserve a card, what are you on about
Gabriel needs to do more on the goal we conceded ngl
Tierney slipped and the shot was dispatched before Gabriel could fully get there.
Yeah but before that Tierney was basically 1 on 3, as someone who literally just came on. Hard to do well there. He definitely coulda done better though
That save... fffuuu. Only just
I thought they were in again >.<
Wow Attwell is starting to be more fair
For fuck's sake
The commentators are having a laugh at the refs.
Good spell of possession
lol what was the Martinelli
So many split seconds where we could make something happen but it comes to nothing
We've barely had a chance at the ball, I know it's Man City but come on lads
cup final at home ground how could we not win it?
Some communication problems at the back?
Timber playing without a boot? Lol
Sad camera angle
For Sale: One Boot, Lightly Used
How did we not even get a corner, that shoulda been a foul lol
By Partey standards should be a red
We actually look more like a 4-4-2 today lol
4 4 2 out of possession is pretty common
Yeah, I'm just wondering whether we might do that also in possession given Partey and Rice as a double pivot.
How's that a yellow card wtf
When you play for the Arsenal, you can't give the refs a reason. The yellow card is already halfway loaded.
Fans are so quiet, cmon lads
Ah that's better
And back to being quiet lol
Rice looks like a bulkier Vieira
As in his face lol
We're coming into this game a bit more now, good to see
absolute tiki taka from Rodri
That was bad from us ngl
First sub: Foden for Grealish
How's that legal on whoever that was back there
Martinelli needs to improve his crossing. Not up to his previous form.
Give that surely
Seriously not even a free kick lol wow
Albert has new glasses
Is Saka playing RB lol
Why is Rice pressing instead of Havertz?
Here we go again
No card for Dias?!?!?!
Would be a bit harsh for the card imo, no malicious intent or anything there and it wasn't the worst tackle
The ball looks like it's covered in mud. I think it's just a gold pattern?
And there's KDB
Need to start stringing some passes together again. Giving the ball away too often
And here we go on the attack. EDDIEEEEEE
That's wild btw lol
Needed Trossard in for Havertz, smh
lol what was that Tierney?!?!?!
Tierney 1 on 1 is still massive
Tierney doesn't look good on that goal.
We look like we're fucking Stoke
@Astrealix you watch your mouth
