AWB is a bastard... he looked back and still forgot Nketiah was behind him.

He was out of position.

I blame degea for playing that rubbish pass

This Odegaard dey play ball sha....

Bissaka no dey ever learn...
Good game from werghoust so far

This is a proper match..

Loving it.

The genesis of the goal

Rashford dey okay so? What sort of dribbles is he attempting?

Wan bissaka makes two costly mistakes in 2 minutes. Gives the ball away for the corner and goes to sleep like a ps4 for the goal.

GTFO! When is the foolish Dalot coming back sef?

We have a very tall striker.. And willing runners.

Why isn't the game plan to load the ball to him.
Why short passes to bisaka instead

Out of position?? Before the ball was crossed he was marking the wrong man, he looked back saw that Nketiah was free and still didn't adjust properly.

We need midfielders.

It's suprising tbh

If the idea is to counter attack, I really don't see how weghorst is suited to that approach.

We need to see/harness his aerial prowess

AWB has always been suspect playing out from the back.

Anthony playing like an amateur as usual

Greenwood - na you cause all this rubbish oh

It is clearly ETH's instructions are to play from the back, which is quite naive considering the pressure Arsenal is applying.

De Gea goofed though..

How’s Weghorst 6,5 and still losing aerials? No be juju be that?

It's all about timing and also the person looking to just get a touch to the ball aka the defender has more advantage.

Good game... I was scared Arsenal might steam roll us

Lol

Leyqute:
Observe well. He's not as bad as you may think.

I think I might need to get his highlights at his previous clubs

I understand he is yet to touch the ball in Arsenal's box as at the 44th minute

Like Shaw thanks o 😅 🤣

Very very stupid of Bissaka for trying to dribble and loosed that ball that led to their goal

Not as bad as I imagined...

But Erikson dull sha

Shouldn't have conceeded the way we did. Hopefully we can win

Honestly thought they would outplay us but the game has been balanced. End to end

Too many actions after that mistake to blame it for the goal. The main issue is his low IQ and poor positioning. He looked back and saw Nketiah before the ball was crossed and still couldn't read the play and block Nketiah's path to the ball.

Little gasps like this will continue to hunt us. Against Palace, Shaw gave a way a stupid free kick when the opponent was running like a headless chicken into our CB.

Playing from the back led to the goal we conceded. There are times when it makes sense to not play from the back.

Fuvk you AWB!

My thoughts exactly...We fit win oo but make I no jinx am abeg

naive play cost us that goal.
with the experience we have at the back, I believe we should have gone past this stage in team development.
at such crucial period in the game when we've drawn first blood, the opposition is too eager to press. the sensible thing will be to send the ball long to our target man and play off him for at least the next 10mins.

CrystalTiger:

He does not like getting physical/into crunchy tackles so getting pass him is quite easy. Antony's ball retention is underrated. He might not take on fullbacks but his ability to keep the ball and bring others into play is unique and important to how we play.
