Important to lead with the headline that Arsenal are the βvillains of the title raceβ and would be βunpopular championsβ as they go up against the team charged with 115+ counts of cheating to gain an unfair competitive advantage over the other premier league teams.
Oh boy am I excited to watch my favourite team play -> I'm going to kms -> nice we won
Always relevant.
This is bullshit.
Arsenal are on top here and there's a stoppage because of a fucking headset? Fuck off.
Off the arm surely
The Arsenal βbottlersβ narrative has not been accurate at all in the last three seasons and has been a symptom of a media landscape that has allowed 17 year old twitter trolls to infect what should be superior analysis.
But thereβs no hiding place from it this season, thatβs for sure.
There have been clear performance and selection issues for weeks now, but the mental gymnastics to push the stats and ignore what was right in front of us went into overdrive.
Tonight the chickens came home to roost. That was unprofessional, immature rubbish and we are crumbling.
Title winners donβt lose a two goal lead to the bottom club. Weak all over the pitch. Horrible performance. First time Iβve felt like we wonβt win it. Performances have just been terrible more often than not
What a ridiculous ending to that game, considering how bad the first half was. Very frustrating Liverpool couldn't see that through (it's a bad result for them) but nothing changes for Arsenal - take care of ourselves and we're responsible for our future.
A mad, mad finish.
Romero is such a coward. Fakes the hard man act and plays football like a bull in a china shop, thinking heβs helping but really - heβs just a problem for his team and those around him.
Iβve never got it with him and donβt understand why Spurs fans are so desperate to back him.
Mustafi was more reliable than him and thatβs saying something
Romero ever being spoken about as world class never made sense to me. Always has been a big tackle passion merchant rather than a really good defender. 6 reds for that lot now π. What a captain
On route to the Emirates leaving my Chelsea supporting gf watching on tv at home. Letβs hope she still picks me up from the station after the final whistle π€£
Last time Arsenal bought a Dixon from Stoke that worked out pretty well.
(Just the 619 appearances, four league titles and a bunch of cups).
That Rodri interview π. The lack of self awareness from him to complain about the officials is something else
Still feel awful about the result, but best believe I just got my ticket on the exchange for the semi final second league next week
Itβs not just todayβs performance. The last 3 in the league have been poor and done little to show we have the ability to get a league title over the line. Players need a real hard reset. Attacking players especially
Christmas is over. Can we stop giving out so many gifts ffs. And while we are at it, up the pace from our throw ins!! So so slow
FT Inter 1-3 Arsenal.
7 wins from 7 in the CL this season, this was an impressive one too.
Obviously not all one way traffic, but Jesus was excellent, Saka really good down the right, a very useful goal for Gyokeres, and that's another big win to bolster our European reputation.
Now for Sunday!
That was such a poor performance knowing whatβs at stake. Players look afraid to move the ball with any zip. The wasted time on the ball to then make a pass they could have completed 5+ seconds quicker was ridiculous. Big big game next week against United. Must deliver a win and performance
FT: That was pathetic. Our tempo was off from the start, no intensity, no urgency and even when we did create chances - we bottled them all. Another day this season where we've let City off the hook and I don't understand why.
Some of our play and decision making in the second half was baffling.
White and Timber in the starting 11 makes me nervous π¬. Both need to stay fit
Awful second half. Didnβt lose. 6 points clear still. We move on to the next one
The fact that there will be a World Cup in the US in a matter of months is insane
Palmer and Neto. Absolute passengers
Clearly the end of the half, chance to get the ball in the box and we just keep moving further back. Why do we play within ourselves so often
Don't worry guys, he'll book Martinez in the 88th minute
We are being robbed of football with the way the PGMOL decide added time. Itβs just a joke
Classic PGMOL and VAR not wanting to disagree with their mates there. Clear penalty not given
