Arsenal FC 2024-25: Back Where We Belong

[Buzzrock 14881]

Fitting that VVD kept us onside on the go ahead. COYG!

[Ted Lange 16055]

This doesn’t look good for Gabriel.   We’d be cooked with no Saliba and him.  Fuck 

[Ted Lange 16055]

Welp 

[Bullneck 19029]

Let's see if the boys can hang on for 10 more minutes.

No red cards, please.

[The Maestro 750]

We need a MASH unit

[Ted Lange 16055]

And now Timber is out.  This is unbelievable.  No Saliba, Gabriel, Calafiore, Timber, and Tommy. 

Also, I guess Zinchenko is never playing again, we brought on an 18 year old over him.  

[Derka 5989]

i  so beyond sick of martinelli having a fucked up first touch that leads to an instant counter attack goal. i’m done with martinelli. get him the fuck out of there.

[Ted Lange 16055]

Just no way we were gonna keep them from scoring with this back line.   Be very lucky to get a point out of this.

[Ted Lange 16055]

Come one lucky corner. 

[Ted Lange 16055]

Nice delivery from the kid 

[Ted Lange 16055]

I’m confused on what the call is here 

[Ted Lange 16055]

Look like Merino went over the back, Kai’s challenge was clean.   But seemed like the ref pointed at Kai 

[Surly Bevo 24858]

With this back line it's a nervy last 3.5 minutes with a point on the line coming up

[Ted Lange 16055]

How the fuck isn’t that a corner,   Fucking joke 

[Surly Bevo 24858]

That's a shitastic goal kick call

[Ted Lange 16055]

Given the injuries Arsenal are super lucky to get a point 

[Dutch 4465]

No team has improved their points total four consecutive years, and our luck with injuries seems to have ended. Add in the shitty calls and inability tonsee out matches….

This season is morphing into let’s just endure CL football for 25-26 and go again. 

I’m tired, Robbie.

Looking like best case for Gabi XL is 1-2 weeks. “Please, nine-pound eight-ounce baby Jesus….”

[Firemans4Horn 17999]

Lewis-Skelly is a helluva prospect.

they asked jack wilshere (when he was still the u18’s coach) if there was anyone special in the academy, someone to keep an eye on, and this was his answer. he seems very calm and poised for being so young and inexperienced, and he looks like a typically versatile arteta player. i’m excited about his future. nwaneri as well, obviously.

[Derka 5989]

jesus scores for the first time in 25 matches.

YO! what a goal from nwaneri!!!

[Derka 5989]

god damn nwaneri is the real deal. 

[Derka 5989]

 

[Derka 5989]

havertz comes in at half time and scores. 3-0.

[Derka 5989]

player for PNE should have just been booked twice for one play (yellow card tackle from behind on MLS, immediately hops up, gets into the refs face and cusses him out), but he doesn’t play for Arsenal, so no dice.

[The Maestro 750]

Solid game, got some youth playing time, and some tuneup time for some of the starters.  COYG!

[The Maestro 750]

And the future is looking good with Lewis-Skelly & Nwaneri.  They’re gonna be big for the Gunners!!

[Derka 5989]

 

[Ted Lange 16055]

 

Have a feeling Partey will be at right back for newcastle.

[The Maestro 750]

Less than ideal, but Partey did a hell of a job against Luis Diaz last weekend.  Saw a stat he’s already played more minutes than all of last year.  

[Ted Lange 16055]

Agree, from all accounts eyeball and post-match commentary Partey preformed very well at RB.  Bonus is Rice gets to play the 6, which is his best position. 

[Derka 5989]

 

[The Maestro 750]

COYG!!!

[Ted Lange 16055]

Well shit 

[Ted Lange 16055]

6 matches in a row without a clean sheet now.   Not a ton could be done on that goal just a perfect cross and finish.  

[Ted Lange 16055]

Not sure the reason but off the bench Trossard is just so much better than the starting XI Trossard.   

[Ted Lange 16055]

What a wretched performance so far. 

[Ted Lange 16055]

Nwaneri and Zinchenko coming on

[Ted Lange 16055]

Can’t think of a player I despise more than Joelinton. 

[Ted Lange 16055]

And there is your scheduled stupid Zinchenko turnover.   

[Ted Lange 16055]

What a dreadful performance.   Title race pretty much out of reach at this point.  

[Buzzrock 14881]

I’m keeping one eye on the score from my son’s baseball game in BFE Georgia. I’m guessing we are really missing Oedegaard. 

[Surly Bevo 24858]

This match sucks balls, we have pretty much capitulated when it comes to the league if we don't turn this shit around in the next few minutes.

[Ted Lange 16055]

Sitting at 18 points after 10 played.   28 matches left to get to 90, which still might be enough, 84 points left available and we need at least 72 of those.

[Ted Lange 16055]

At least we got a good Carabao cup draw….

[Buzzrock 14881]

[Ted Lange 16055]

Honestly unless things change really fast Arsenal are gonna be in a fight for top4.  Still heavy favorites for it, but Villa, Chelsea, Birghton are going to challenge.  Numbers wise, 4/5 is way more likely than 1/2.

completely shitting the summer transfer window and not getting a real goal threat up front or another difference making creative midfielder is killing Arsenal. 

[Surly Bevo 24858]
