[Match Thread] Arsenal F.C. vs. West Ham United

Oh, okay, but when we do that it's "only one player can be out of play for a corner". Jesus Christ. We have to be on our very best behavior and (mostly) everyone else is allowed to run rampant

The height Kai and Tomi bring would absolutely change this game for us

I am furious and I hate everything

Let's play "did it go out" again!

Is anyone else whose account is on lemmy.world having issues? This week has been awful for me and I don't know if it's the servers or my app or what.

Jesus that is a flying tackle

ARE YOU ACTUALLY KIDDING ME

So many half-baked passes. What's happened to our mentality?

Take heart, friends. The shit are down 4-0.

Zinny needs to wake up

It's a goal straight out of FIFA that would make me restart the match.

lol this is the part of FM where you realize the match engine actually wants you to lose

How can you just take out a players standing leg?

Oh wow, another horror tackle on Jesus unpunished

Saka, what a bright spot

Saka playing really narrow.

We need to hire 14 year old Fortnite zoomers to run VAR

Yeah sounds about right

Well, we've been out of ideas since 70'

Watching now, I see we have the exact same problem as the Newcastle game. Ffs can they just make the rules better or something

2.11 xG to 0.69 xG. Football is dying and West Ham killed it.

Maybe it's because we never get free kicks, but these cutesy routines irk me

What's a referee even for in this game, lol

Jesus. 23 shots, 6 on target and no goals.

The phrase "check complete" can actually get fucked

Man we are just not on it today. Can we WAKE THE FUCK UP PLEASE

5 million cameras and none able to see the ball

Rice has passed it to a hammer like 4 times this game. Should we be worried or is it just bad luck?

.... Reiss

IS OUR ENTIRE TEAM TAKING THE PISS?

I'm genuinely looking forward to Arteta saying that everyone had the shits or something because I don't understand why no one seems to care today

You know, in the right light, Emile actually does remind me of KdB. Here's hoping he actually gets to fulfill his destiny

Raya's not saving it

We can't break the low block. This needs to change.

This is just comedic now

I'm looking forward to the View today where they try and justify Saka's kick not being a pen but this being legitimate

Well at least Raya gets to show off

Reiss, ESR, Zinny & Eddie are on notice. If I were Arteta, I would get rid of them in the summer transfer window. As much as I like em, they're either injury prone and or play in a boom and bust cycle. We need a dependable 9, 8 and LB/LCB combo player.

Oh its mikey oliver

Tross and Z itching to give the ball away

Wasn't expecting a Big Gabby stinker

yeah

before the match I was thinking this would be embarrassment to lose and here you go

What's Saka's hairstyle called

This whole attack has a right side bias

Oh wow 360p footage being assessed

We're entertainers we don't need to win

Scoring from a cross? Nah we play classy football

Tross is no duel winner

Esr hattrick in 11 minutes let's go guys

muh facilitator number 9

Zini trying to create another 5 v 1 breakaway there

Soft shot after soft shot

Well that about caps today off, doesn't it

Paqueta starts. He's not injured.

Again not watching, though I might tune in later

Captain about to have his day

Broooooo

Why do they keep going back to the angle that's completely obstructed...

Zinchenko, WTF!

Not this again

Rice hasn't always dropped this deep into the 3 CB backline, has he?

Saka's going to need adamantium shins soon

Why do our midfielders seem so inattentive this game. So many pointless turnovers from poor passes.

Paqueta off, hopefully okay after this

Good save tbf

Martinelli, come on man. You're better than this!

ref what you doin man

Hands are all over Jesus, Christ

STOP PINGING IT AROUND AND TAKE A SHOT CHRIST

Only shot on target this half is their goal, cuz of course it is.

So about that number 9...

holy shit declan rice not bad

Reiss coming on. You know Arteta is desperate

JESUS FUCKING CHRIST

At least this is more of an interesting title race for neutrals I guess

Not watching this lol

I need ESR in for Trossard or Martinelli. The whole left side is pretty complacent especially Zinny.
