If there's anything I want coming out of this match it's to dispense with the Partey at RB thing. No sense in destabilizing the partnerships of both RB and LB because of an injury. Play with the back 4 we played with last season and let Rice and Havertz find their feet in that system. Then experiment.
some guy on twatter claiming to be a scout says Partey is steadily losing athleticism. Might be some truth to it.
He's more of a depth option now. We need another good CDM backup and RB, then we'll have moved on past him.
How's the USA folks saying it's harsh, that's a clear DOGSO
These two are idiots
We have more chance from an opposition goal kick than from a set piece
Is it miss-a-sitter day today
Why do we always slow down when we're 1 nil up.. keep the pressure on man
You can't hang all over Saka and then go down to stop play.
Saka dropped a 6 today, even with the penalty
We really need to like, score a goal. I think I would like that.
You set up a team to make passes. You don't set up a team expecting Saka to pass it into space for them. We'll be good.
Yeah but every single team can and will make mistakes, even prime Barca. Either because the players make mistakes or cuz they're forced into mistakes. This system barely lets us make any I feel like.
We're knocking on the door, but it's as if the door sees like solar panel salespeople 🙃
The goal peeking through the curtain at us. Haha
Saka my child, you gotta work on those corners man
Our first couple home matches being a reunion for our old goalkeepers.
Ok so when are Fulham gonna get fouls called on them.
Starting in the 85th minute, as is tradition
Buckle up, this is going to be bumpy
Yasss my cock your butthole YASSSSW
Utd 2 nil down to forest less goo
I had to check when I saw this wtf
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH I THOUGHT YOU WERE JOKING
Of course its the match at the same time as us! I would love to be cheering on Forest.
at least there's that
Damn look at that rain
Fucking hell. We do know we are a man up right?
Fuck sake, feels like a loss with how dominant we were.
of course, they were a man down and they equalized.
Horny for a third goal 🥺
I do not feel comfortable with Partey as RB, I'm not gonna lie. Zinchenko looks like the better defender.
Fabio my feelings are dead and buried I'm destroyed
20 minutes to get 3 points, LETTS GOOOO
Kai Kai Kai...
How did that not go in!
Offside anyway
Which journalist mentioned the "haven't lost to Fulham" thing and how do we get him gone
Almost gave away the Puskas right there lol
So why did Nketiah get dropped exactly?
Martinelli's made some good chances already.
I know I'm not seeing the full match but my FM strikers have been putting away much harder chances than we have today, and we're in the fucking Welsh league
Fuck off Raul
The straight at Leno show at the Emirates
It was offside anyways... But yeesh gotta finish it man
Wtf Kai it was right there
Another "how did that not go in"
Should've started Leno in goal for my FPL with all these saves he's making.
Used all our blood magic to get that pen at Crystal Palace.
still some left!!!
Arteta went into the backroom to sacrifice another goat
Referee trying his best
They will literally check every one of our passes for offside
Technically doesn't even need to lol Bassey keeps them all onside innit
Viera already threatening with the whipping cross
Mikel...🤦🏻♀️
How many yellows for a manager before they're suspended? XD
if I speak I am in big trouble
smth smth tomiyasu smth if that was xhaka
WOOOOOALL THE WAY BACK
It's on the spot fam what is ref doing
And a Vieira assist to boot!
woulda been a red for Zinny if he actually got the player tbh
Wish it was the red.
Kiwi first touch man!
Gabriel scores that
Havertz back pass when there was a chance to break
BUUUkayo
Damnit Turner why you conceding against United man
Note: I have not seen the goal, idk whose fault it is
Kayo Kayo Kayo
RING RING RING, IT'S EDDIE
KNOCK KNOCK OPEN UP THE DOOR IT'S REAL
Is it just me or has Martin not been too sharp lately
Wow we got a foul called for us? That's a miracle
Also the ball kick away should be a card lol
Tbf it wasn't on screen but I swear I saw the ball get rolling away lol
Eddie with the armband once again, love to see it
He will keep Jesus on the bench with how he's playing.
This game is shouting Nelson to me lol
Put Nelson on, immediately!
Fabio masterclass TDK in the mud lessgoooo
Viera seriously showing why he's here
Tbf TDK specifically said to wait on him lol
Viera holy shit
HOW DID THAT NOT GO IN
Imagine if that was onside and a goal
Would be a puskas
Serves you right you diiiick
Pundits will trash Havertz but it's the inversion of Partey and the new system that was the biggest problem.
The new system is there to force havertz into the team. He's not done anything for three matches we looked instantly better and more fluid with him off the pitch
yes - let's see Havertz in our proper system.
Zinny on the left and White on the right and suddenly we see all the familiar triangles open up
EDDIE NKETIAH LETS FUCKING GO
PROVING WHY HES THE BETTER STRIKER THAN BALOGUN
Viera assist!
Shit.
For fucks sake
Raul deaf or something?
Nah he's just timewasting
How's that NOT A FOUL FOR US WTF MAN THANK GOD FOR RAMSDALE
Eddie forcing a red! He was hungry watching this match from the bench
Honestly I feel like Jesus has a fight to get back in the team.
Can we not gift them majority possession now that we're ahead???
We literally have one more man
Tbf that's a good corner and a good shot but sigh
If it weren't for Saliba that's 2-0 tbh
Nelli loves passing it back centrally
Omg Kai is absolutely frustrating me today, go after the fucking ball
9 minutes LMAOOOO, we should be thankful
We need a goal. Fast.
They took one minute to score one, why can't we
Oh boy, it's like a RB would be nice to have there 🙃
Oh thank god
Eddie's first goal off the bench for a while
Havertz baby what are you doing
heart in mouth
Saka and White playing like they're in the old system.
This shit again...
Havertz offside again and ruining another attack
Just used to Chelsea getting refs to support them instead of us /j
Good {blocked} cross fabio
Feels crazy to suggest it but... sub Raya on for some long balls?
Eddie should have started
Serves Bassey right for all that fouling
Keeps everyone onside btw lol
Is Leno holding a grudge?
Just doing his job
LMAO
Already trying to injured Zinchenko for another couple months.
Is this better than a low block + 80% possession game?
Jesus for Trossard, ESR for Havertz before the 75 minute pls
If Jesus is too much of an injury risk, then Nketiah
Willing to give Havertz a bit more time, but Partey and Tross need to be off rn.
Yes bring in Zinchenko for Partey. Then revert back to a back 4 with White at RB, Kiwior as LCB, and Zinchenko as LB.
Zinny and Jesus on?
Fucking a.....
9 minutes!
It's okay guys. We're saving up our comfortable win for United.
perhaps we fell into the trap of looking ahead
Like how that's a foul from Havertz but not the one that Tete did on Martinelli somehow
On the bright side, surely we'll score one eventually if we keep playing like this
Anyone know about our xG stat?
FotMob says 1.41
Sorry guys. I'll take Saka out of my FPL.
Ok a bit better
Trossard needs to actually step up rn or like, be subbed off first tbh. Nketiah would be way better for this game imo.
2 players in the 6 y box both out of position
Kai needs some time to feel this system out but bruh how does Martinelli not score that
Lots of switches and long balls from benny
Arteta trying to weed out fans with a weak heart with this season
Hey, at least this game might tell him to not fuck with the formation next game
Yes get fucked you slimy twat
Smth smth Zinchenko smth smth defend smth smth Kieran Tierney
lol come on, it is pretty obvious Arteta favors his signings.
Tbf besides Tierney idk that any of them are great lol
And Xhaka is a clear exception imo
lol come on Kai
Ugh you're fucking joking! wtf
Zini and Viera on for...
Partey and Havertz
Arteta is pissed.
Surprised it's not ESR
Sub Trossard on! ...
...Wait a minute
ESR super sub time
Ramsdale with a huge save
Just get up Raul!
It'll be 10 at this rate
Let Vieira kick it? He earned it, feels like should be his.
He's been huge off the bench lately.
It is so weird seeing Raya on the bench behind Arteta.
Everton continuing the elite relegation form. It's going to be hard to deny them this year.
They're gonna have the nicest stadium in the Championship
Dycheball falling flat, eh?
I mean, they haven't conceded yet... Granted against Wolves but
They're going to sack Dyche after like January and bring in someone crazy like Marsch
Trossard is class
Done jack shit today tbh
This reminds me of those matches mid 2010s where we’re just probing constantly for that goal.
dreaded horseshoe of death era
EDWARD
Ffs man
Good run for Havertz tbh
He was offside 40 metres from goal...
It was close, i think the LB was keeping him on
Feel like lines needed to be drawn there and weren't...
Lmao I don't want the penalty merchant reputation on my club
If teams are going to resort to "block the middle, foul Saka", then I do
Nah fuck it a goal is a goal lmao
Viera!!!
5 minutes have not been played lol, barely 2 have
VIEIRA OOOOOOHHHHHH
Cam on Arsenal, score some facking goals
I love youuuu Edward!!!!!
How's that not a foul on Jesus????
Yeah fuck on off🖕🏼
I just realised that Traore is Adama Traore. When the hell did he go to Fulham?
They went a picked away all Wolves attackers.
Traore not much of an attacker anymore
We will blow out teams away but will win by one goal at home
Well this game's started fast.
Alrighty Edward
Viera trying to pull off Saka's goal
Nearly did it tbh
@ironeaglebird @Astrealix if we’re gonna sell Gabriel M let’s just go ahead and do it so we can get a replacement. Don’t understand what’s happening!!!
Rice making way for Jesus
Sake taking the pen with the form he's shown this match...
Nevermind. He can still knock them in. Even if the ref is being an ass.
Great shot from Jiminez ngl, even if it didn't hit the target lol
Need to stop attacking down the right.
Idek whether to blame Ødegaard or Havertz for that
Not a good idea having 2 support strikers
Trossard.......
Saliba be like "shit aren't I supposed to be the last line of defence what do I do"
He reverted back to his slide tackle lol
What's the deadline for Kai to come good?
Fulham really be acting like they're prime Newcastle
please please not another Chelsea double agent
You say as he jumps offside in the buildup.
So many BCM you'd think Jesus was starting
Paul Tierney needs to be fucking sacked
Good ball to Havertz as he plays it back to Fulham.
Omg were absolutely fluffing it with these sitters
Rice is so good
That dark cloud overhead is ominous 🙃
hopefully for Fulham
something something penalty not given
I don't think it was one but I'm just angry lol
How's that a fucking corner
Nelson about to repeat history when he comes on
Well he didn't come on lol
Oh cmon Forest whyd you have to lose man
Eddie coming on of course haha
That time better be added back on.
Ødegaard has been missing a few passes huh
Havertz shoulda just taken the ball off Eddie himself
Do we think Leno's still on our team?
Is ESR finished at this club? I don't think Vieira's style of play will help going forward. He's just a duplicate of Odegaard.
How many extra minutes you think
6? Between the Bassey stuff, the Bassey stuff, and the Bassey stuff, seems fair.
5
Rice sent it out for a corner btw
Credit to him Eddie has been great today
Oh Jeeebus
We're gonna win in spite of the refs again innit
Trossard hasn't looked great, not sure why he's started ahead of Nketiah.
Ball was not cleared, wtf was that whistle
That looked outside the box ngl
Does it count the hands or the ball or
@[email protected] it really is miss a sitter day 🤦🏻♀️
How's that not a free kick lol
What was that heel flick, lol
Has Arteta grown a beard?
Is there something with the pitch today? Lots of weird movement on the ball so far
How's that the fucking whistle, who blows there???
Holy shit Raul bro, I was scared
They're already wrestling Saka...
Leno give us a favour lol
I'm usually a Havertz defender but he's been ghosting today
Whole team is. Havertz is doing way, way better than Trossard at least.
He's done nothing in all three matches so far and we've changed our entire system to try and shoehorn him into the side. It makes no sense
Last thing Ramsdale needs is being the goalie trying to stop a Puskas Award winning goal.
Btw Fulham have been quite good lol, only defending tho basically...
We're really going with Fabio.....?
This stupid experiment with us playing half our team out.of position is beyond stupid and needs to be done.
Get Gabriel back in, go to a regular back 4, play partey in the midfield, and for God's sake just keep.kai havertz off the field. We need.to stop buying players from Chelsea it has not gone well even once.
I'm willing to give Kai more time and hopefully the injuries are why he's being played so much, but ideally I'dve liked to see a starting XI with only one of Rice and Havertz at lest for the first month.
I mean, Jorginho is right there...
Bought as a back up not a starter. And he's alright still would have been fine without him though.
If we're gonna play the blame game, Arteta is only to blame
Disagree with it being "only" Arteta. Partey dropped a terrible game, and Trossard, and several other players were simply mediocre. And Paul, who doesn't deserve the Tierney name, all but rigged tons of fouls
