[Match Thread] Arsenal F.C. vs. Manchester City

Also never forget how Trossard's goal broke lemmy.world

Take that bald fraud

lol an Arsenal player must die before City get a card, I see

Ramsdale saving pens!

AHAHAHAHAHA GET FUUUUUUUCKED YOU OIL BARONS

"We like to bend the rules that's what we do" yeah that's City

Yes Saks, you're back!

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

kids who didn't watch the game will tell me tomorrow how City dominated us

Rough start but we're getting into it.. odegaard is a beast, jurrian timber is fantastic, saliba is intelligent, martinelli + saka 😍

#COYG

COME ON YOU GUNNERS!!! 💥💥💥 LETS FUCKING GOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Taking Timber off really destabilized us.

Timber is having a fantastic second half.

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.

Yellow card for Pep? lol

Feels like if it were Arteta he'd be sent off for even breathing in the refs direction

8 minutes. Lol. I already like these new stipulations on added time.

So did this ref come out of the Manchester factory or...?

Havertz attempt saved again... We have had the better chances.

HERE WE FUCKING GOOOOOOOO

Refs not biased btw

Wow , Odegaards move was absolutely filthy. Disrespectful on those ankles

Wait, did Gabriel get a yellow for that...?

8 minutes is fine to score a goal cmon lads

lol Rodri dodging yellows, wow

guy has plot armour

ARTETA'S GETTING A YELLOW YOU WOT MATE

Why is Saka playing so centrally?

Good try from Saka there, he scores those sometimes

Great block from Timber

No yellow for Rodri?!?!?!?!?

That looked like it hurt

Good first half overall. City don't look sharp right now and if we can just be more clinical we got this.

RAMSDALE YOU NEED TO NOT DO THAT

without looking I'll guess what's trennding on twatter - #HavertzOut

lol, havertz on a yellow

Not convinced on Havertz. Convinced on Timber.

That was worse than Partey's for sure lmfao, but ok

That would have been 1 minute in the olden days huh

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 :)

Haaland drops deep to receive every clearance from the back

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

how did this team win the treble

Alright, time to see what we're made of. Tierney can't fucking get a start, so let's see how Timber does.

where's roy keane now ya fuckin shite

THIS MATCH NEEDS TROSSARD!

yes get fucked you fucking removed get fucked

Timber my man

Rodri still running around without a yellow card.

ESR vs KDB, Croydon De Bruyne vs Kevin De Bruyne

Timber really cementing out his starting spot.

Arteta red card this season. My fuggin manager!

Rice is sometimes dropping in as third CB here, interesting

Good reaction from Ortega. Havertz received the ball a bit awkwardly.

Tell Howard Webb to shove his whistle right up his ass

Havertz hold up play. I love to see it.

Ramsdale just dangling it out there for a Haaland tap in.

great run of play

Saliba cool as ever even with a player all over him.

Abu Dhabi’s government is investing in premier league refs?

FINALLY!

Still genuinely can't believe we have Declan Rice

Havertz has to do better there.

Havertz really needs to stop shooting it right at the GK . What a clear cut chance.

Part of Rodri's salary goes to commentators

red card to Kai for letting Dias fall

Ødegaard silky

Odegaard please no, that man has a family

watching The Arsenal is cardio in itself

Why cut to City fans we all know they're paid

Ødegaard comes on, instantly pressing

Lovely

Stop murdering Saka

"Report anti-social behaviour" well that's me fucked from that ad

Declan you aren't Partey/Elneny/Xhaka yet mate

Rice interceptions, I love it.

do you want penalties? i don't want penalties

KT MY BELOVED

No one's helping Tierney there

RAMSDALE GOOD SAVE

They've awakened away form Ramsdale.

@HaleEndGrad@lemmygrad.ml did you end up finding any of those drugs?

Keep forgetting Partey has pace

Time for a Tierney long throw I reckon

ESR resurgence season

Palmer literally kicking Trossard yet "Trossard taking exception to Cole Palmer"

We need to fucking score

Partey and Walker should both not be allowed to continue ngl

Jsut send everyone forwards, hell take Ramsdale off

That's a decent idea there

what drugs would you recommend to an arsenal fan? I'm not feeling very well

Aw that was a real chance there

Stream the fuck

Is there a way to have the thread refresh? Or is it just a good ol' F5?

I am excited for the potential of more ESR this season.

Hopefully he stays fit and kicks on :)

lol what was the Martinelli

Anybody else get a tingly feeling when Tierney was announced :)

Fuuuu... c'mon!

Another chance

For fuck's sake

The commentators are having a laugh at the refs.

So many split seconds where we could make something happen but it comes to nothing

Havertz shoulda passed that

Gabriel needs to do more on the goal we conceded ngl

Are we getting to get a card this time? No? Why am I surprised

Hungry Nketiah

That save... fffuuu. Only just

I thought they were in again >.<

That back heel from Trossard was beautiful

ESR come on my man

cup final at home ground how could we not win it?

Just a tiny bit early, in case my stream's too late lol

God save the King sounds so wrong

Rice pressing as part of the front line

He basically just kicked a man when he was down...

Wtf... no yellow?

Yeah, alright...

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

Saliba and White combo to bully Haaland.

Can city get a card

where's the Raya propgandists now

the camera focuses on a few city players and I can't help but scream profanities

We've barely had a chance at the ball, I know it's Man City but come on lads

Just realised but it's interesting that Martinelli took that, feel like we never have him take them

My word don't knock that back across goal again please

Havertz good try

Really annoyed at Arteta not making a substitution yet.

Bye bye Haaland

Of course Gabriel gets a card for running back and being kicked in the ass /lh

That was bad from us ngl

Timber playing without a boot? Lol

Albert has new glasses

And there's KDB

How's that a yellow card wtf

First sub: Foden for Grealish

Why is Rice pressing instead of Havertz?

Good spell of possession

absolute tiki taka from Rodri

Come on Partey you can't give these refs a reason

Is Saka playing RB lol

How did we not even get a corner, that shoulda been a foul lol

That's wild btw lol

Fans are so quiet, cmon lads

Need to start stringing some passes together again. Giving the ball away too often

Some communication problems at the back?

lol what was that Tierney?!?!?!

Martinelli needs to improve his crossing. Not up to his previous form.

Needed Trossard in for Havertz, smh

No card for Dias?!?!?!

The ball looks like it's covered in mud. I think it's just a gold pattern?

Give that surely

We're coming into this game a bit more now, good to see

Here we go again

And here we go on the attack. EDDIEEEEEE

Rice looks like a bulkier Vieira

How's that legal on whoever that was back there

Tierney 1 on 1 is still massive

Wow Attwell is starting to be more fair

Tierney doesn't look good on that goal.

We actually look more like a 4-4-2 today lol

We look like we're fucking Stoke
