3 0 ReplyPASS
3 0 ReplyIf this wasn't a friendly, Saliba would be off
3 0 Reply+5m for Eddie
3 0 ReplyDid not realise how fucking tall Rice is tbh
3 0 ReplyFabio's crosses could work well, only if we brought on Havertz or let Deccers move that far up the pitch
3 0 ReplyVieira shoulda got a foul called there
3 0 Replywe still can't defend set pieces
3 0 ReplyThe one time Eddie is in prime position and no cutback, feels bad
3 0 ReplyCan't fool him a third time down the middle
3 0 ReplyDown the middle, TWICE >>> TWICE
3 0 ReplyStream switched to English, the Arsenal TV feed. Rice is extremely creative there
3 0 Reply7 subs lol, practically a new team
3 0 ReplyRice is wider and deeper than our usual left 8, if I'm not mistaken. Interesting.
3 0 ReplyA-A-RON
3 0 ReplyMartinelli, ESR and Rice look very good.
If Nketiah is trying to convince everyone that he can lead the line, this isn't it.
3 0 ReplyWHAT THE FUCK WAS THAT
3 0 ReplyTrossard, Havertz, Saka and Odegaard are gonna have a field day
3 0 ReplyI want my KT
3 0 ReplyCan't wait to see timewasting addressed and having Newcastle suffer for it.
3 0 ReplyVieira looks hungry, hope he gets a goal
3 0 ReplyNo chance of that being saved..
3 0 ReplyVery close
3 0 ReplyAre we expecting someone to be in the box....? That's the second time I've seen a great cross go straight across with none of our players in sniffing distance.
3 0 ReplyCOYG
3 0 ReplyGabi, Gabi, my boy, what the fuck was that?
3 0 ReplyWe're gonna win a meaningless friendly cup let's fucking go

2 0 ReplyApparently the Emirates sponsorship might be a record value 👀
2 0 ReplyLooks like it's on Fox Deportes in the US, which I thought I got with my YTTV subscription but apparently I gotta pay extra for it.

2 0 Replyvieira missed an easy thru ball opportunity
2 0 ReplyTerrible foul from Partey
2 0 ReplyPoor from Saliba that
2 0 ReplyTricksy tricksy
2 0 ReplyThe biggest difference between Eddie and Jesus is the pressing. Eddie doesn't block the CBs passing lanes and they can play it out so easily.
2 0 ReplyI foresee an ESR goal before halftime
2 0 ReplyI can see why we were interested in Fofana btw. Looks very good.
2 0 ReplyTbf for the set pieces thing, Gabriel has always been the best on those and he ain't on lol

2 0 ReplyWhat a turn from nketiah.. second one this game
2 0 ReplyNketiah!
2 0 ReplyAlso wow did we get lucky there
2 0 ReplyFrancis Jeffers died and was reborn as Eddie Nketiah!
2 0 ReplySaliba having a weirdly bad game
2 0 ReplySmith Rowe needs to stop dragging players back with both hands, he's not strong enough and that'll get called at some point
2 0 ReplyGreedy by Trossard
2 0 ReplyThese subs 😍
2 0 ReplyProbably same thing with the United game with Arteta telling the lads to fix what they screwed up haha
2 0 ReplyMonaco look good full credit to them
2 0 Replyno one blocking cut backs and crosses
2 0 ReplyThank you boss
2 0 ReplyI accidentally fell asleep during the first half (been traveling a lot) how are we playing?
2 0 ReplyGabriel just got bodied
2 0 ReplyMinamino has already got our defense shaking, wtf
2 0 ReplyWe are FLYING into some tackles
2 0 Replyj20 oh my days
2 0 ReplyComing On: Martin Ødegaard, Leandro Trossard, Kieran Tierney, Gabriel, Kai Havertz, Jorginho, Benny Blanco
Coming Off: Gabriel Martinelli, ESR, Jurrien Timber, Declan Rice, Thomas Partey, Takehiro Tomiyasu
2 0 ReplyNicely done by Vieira there and Eddie should get a free kick haha
2 0 ReplyHavertz as False 9?
2 0 ReplyGood luck beating KT 1 on 1 haha
2 0 ReplyNot a great ball from Havertz to Vieira ngl, bit too much spin on it, slowed things down
2 0 Replywe are The Arsenal, we don't rely on set pieces😤
2 0 Replyseeing that Trossard chance is a reminder of how ineffective we are at transitions
2 0 ReplyRamsdale's crucification coming up
2 0 ReplyRaya out 😁😁😁😁😎😎😎
2 0 Replyannounce the treble fucksakes
2 0 ReplyYEAH BOI
2 0 ReplyWHAT A SAVE RAMSDALE

1 0 ReplyNo way Trossard saw Eddie there that was absolutely a one track mind lol
1 0 ReplyThat was basically not a foul tbh
1 0 ReplyWhy is Timber there LMFAO
1 0 ReplyWhat was that card for?
1 0 ReplyDeclan rice looks right at home, if not as involved as Xhaka normal is (I think that's tactical)
1 0 ReplyMarquinhos on for Eddie.
1 0 ReplyOo good spot to win a free kick Partey
1 0 ReplyThink the card on Saliba is fair tbh, especially given it's a friendly. Set the tone.
1 0 ReplyStop dragging people back, it's literally always a foul XD
1 0 ReplyThat was an interesting tackle from rice lol
1 0 ReplyØdegaard before Jorginho. Didn't expect that.
1 0 ReplySTREAM TURNED ENGLISH SUDDENLY?
1 0 ReplyMonaco look more up for it than we do.
1 0 ReplyGood fucking save
1 0 ReplyDecent enough try for ESR there given how that ball was
1 0 ReplyWhat was that foul

1 0 ReplyHoly shit Eddie keeping that in
1 0 ReplyBro the minutes weren't even up, ref pls
1 0 ReplyWho blows the whistle there??
1 0 ReplyI just clocked this while updating my google form for later: ESR is playing on the right CM. Haven't seen him do that IIRC.
1 0 ReplyEddie needs minutes, because based on his performance so far, he needs replacing
1 0 ReplyTrossard is taking up Havertz's space
1 0 ReplyAlways wonder how much it hurts for the players if the ball hits them in the wall, you've got the force of a pro player essentially all going into to you.
1 0 ReplyFelt like volleyball that
1 0 ReplyKinda wanna see us play four four fucking two with Havertz up top just to see what it would be like lol
1 0 ReplyMartinelli tryna learn tricks from Saka with that tight finish lol
1 0 ReplyAnother one of those chemistry mistakes there, good idea from Rice
1 0 ReplyTeasing ball from Eddie there
1 0 ReplyLove Tierney's long throw in balls
1 0 ReplySaliba as RCM is wild
1 0 ReplyMartinelli looking up a bit more, not enough to grab a goal there though
1 0 ReplyMaripan is never gonna give his team up or let it down
1 0 ReplyNgl was expecting a shot from Monaco outside the box there, too used to what our 6s do lol
