Arsenal 2022-23: All Or Nothing

[Dutch 4474]

Comedy defending bailed out…. Saka out. Xhaka maybe out. A lead but a very frustrating half. 

[Dutch 4474]

BANG!

Great finish, Reiss Nelson! Delayed his shot till the defender shod through, then followed up the rebound. Nice!

Now get Jesus back in the scoresheet.

How nice to have a stress free 2nd half. Need to get Jesus a goal

That’s how you start a 2nd half.   Who is this team?

Given how Leeds and S’ton gave us fits, I was a bit surprised Forest didn’t try and high press the hell out of us. 

Cedric sighting! Need another goal for a Cedric goal celebration. 

[Dutch 4474]

Match is won; get Xhaka off the pitch. 

[Dutch 4474]

Five! El Capitain!

We have GOT to get him some cover in Jan. 

...or maybe not? two goals and an assist for Nelson, what a return to the EPL for him. 

also fwiw, i'm pretty saka was injured when he was fouled and his left leg hit the ground sort of funny. his leg kinda jammed into the turf. hopefully it's not serious.

 

also, mark it five dude. odegaard makes it 5-0. 

[InkaUtexas 25990]

Damn Arsenal, you scary.

Very nice performance from Nelson. Two well-taken goals and influential throughout.

Yes, Forest (oddly to me) sat way deep and let us pass around and create chances, which most clubs won’t do, but it was nice to see us finish those chances. After four goals total in four matches, five today hopefully gets the lads back in the groove.

Zürich Thursday. Should get three with a rotated side but need to win. Then @ Chelsea and @ Wolves before the WC. Let’s close strong before the break.

Hopefully Saka isn’t seriously injured. 

[Dutch 4474]

Lets. Fucking. Go.

And welcome back MO!!!!!

anybody else's paramount+ feed choppy as fuck?

[Dutch 4474]

Let's not screw this up and have a play-in tie vs CL dropdowns like Utd.  

COYG!!!

No Paramount+; not surly 1%

[Dutch 4474]

Kieren at the back AND on the scoresheet!!!

[shadow_operative 15932]

tierney! what a strike!

[shadow_operative 15932]

and yes, reddit confirms that the paramount+ feed is totally borked. fortunately i was able to catch tierney's goal, but the feed is going out for 5-10 seconds every 45 seconds or so. super aggravating.

The TUDN feed, en Espanol, broadcasting in 1080p60fps, looks crisp.

Didn’t get to watch the 2nd half but saw Tomi subbed on then subbed back off; anyone know what happened?

soft tissue leg injury. not sure how severe it is, but he obviously looked upset, and is now a major doubt for the WC if it's anything worse than a dead leg quad. i felt terrible for him.

[Buzzrock 14922]

[Surly Bevo 25053]

Need to focus up and get a second 

[The Maestro 758]

Let’s finish this

[Dutch 4474]

Ode missed a great chance; I’d be much less nervous with a 2nd goal. 

Hit his arm….

They're the world class pros, but never understand giving the opponent a chance to recover like happened with that Ode chance.

He’s prone to that hesitation; needs to take more 1st-time or 1 touch then let it rip

[The Maestro 758]

Let’s go lads!!  Big win.  London is Red

Pride of London indeed

[Dutch 4474]

ONE-NIL TO THE ARSENAL

WE ARE TOP OF THE LEAGUE! WE ARE TOP OF THE LEAGUE

[Dutch 4474]

Massive win today, boys. Much more dominant than a one-nil. Great to see Zinny back. Defense rock solid. Bossed midfield. LFG, YOU GUNNERS!

One nitpick: outside of Forest, we’ve only scored one in each of the past six; need to sharpen up in front of goal.

[Buzzrock 14922]

Definitely one where the score doesn’t tell the tale. Arteta is legit.

Xhaka redemption arc is definitely one of the stories of the season. 

[Dutch 4474]

Glad we're resting the starters. Beating Wolves to enter the WC break top of the league >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> advancing in the Cababababayoyo Cup.

Still....

LETS. FUCKING. GO.

Yup. League Cup is a booby prize, and I doubt anyone will mourn the lack of extra fixtures.

Our season is about the League (securing top 4 first and foremost, and chasing the title as long as we can) and then secondly the EL. Hopefully, the strong start convinces Kroenke and Kroenke Jr to add in the January window. We cannot afford run out of gas in April again. 

One goal in now each the last seven outside of Forest. Really, really need to start scoring.

wow! brentford are two minutes away from taking all three points at the etihad. 

[Dutch 4474]

Wow...handle business vs Wolves, and we take a five-point lead into the WC break.

[Buzzrock 14922]

That was big big big big big. MC is showing vulnerability. I’m fine with having a dick trip in Carabao.

Trying not to get too excited. COYG!

(And then bring on the WC)

Xhaka down 90 seconds in. Furk. Maybe he’s sick?

Yes!!!

For some reason, I thought we played it tomorrow. Get home from my kid’s BD party to find a The Arsenal match on YTTV.  Even better that we handled business. 

WE ARE TOP OF THE LEAGUE!!! COME ON YOU GUNNERS!!!
