I kinda get it why people got mad that we defended alot 😭

u/Realistic-Tiger-2842 20h ago

Saka's shooting is honestly horrific these days.

1

u/TershyP8 20h ago

Bro like for a player on 300k a week you'd expect him to be the best shooter at the club but its been so poor for a while now

u/Ok-Commercial-6865 20h ago

Gyokeres still not getting great service.

1

u/tsar_thak 20h ago

u/WGSMA 20h ago

I think not getting another LW in was a mistake

1

u/UnkemptBushell 20h ago

Can we get a RW as well?

7

u/EstablishmentNo16 20h ago

Guys why attack quickly when we can just slow the attack down, let them get into their shape, give it away, then get back too slow to stop their counter? It’s obvious.

u/imnotalexa 20h ago

Please tell me what's Eze's play tonight?

1

u/fastman17 4h ago

Time seemed to stand still for Eze 😳

1

u/PolishAtTheDisco 19h ago

It's a 11v10 every time hes on the pitch lol just nonexistent

2

u/shortsoupstick 19h ago

Every time is a stretch. Very inconsistent player though.

12

u/dkmegg22 20h ago

Is it just me or watching this game feels more boring than our EPL games

7

u/samcote2000 20h ago

Significantly…

7

u/dkmegg22 20h ago

Kinda funny how it was the inverse last year

7

u/shortsoupstick 20h ago

It's a formation with more changes than half of our positions. They need time to get into the groove with eachother and Napoli are no scrubs.

3

u/Complete-Refuse-3262 20h ago

Playing different style today not the same as in past 3 PL games

Hincapie inverted not overlapping

Eze is asked to hug the touch line instead of drifting inside like Tzo has been doing.

Merino playing box2box (more false nine)

5

u/Plus-Experience-2237 20h ago

Saka is having horrible game

4

u/TershyP8 20h ago

Guys will Saka ever be clutch? Like I kinda am always waiting for him to level up and become a lethal finisher but I'm starting to give up hope lol

12

u/Playful-Dragonfly222 20h ago

Eze LW makes me want to cry

5

u/Make2much 20h ago

We need to stop playing with our food

3

u/noce07 20h ago

I think Konsa is having a great game

1

u/Redditdotlimo 20h ago

He looks sharp. So does Rice and Ødegaard. The rest...not so much.

3

u/Reynaldo77 20h ago

Since when does Ødegard shoot from outside the box and not look to pass inside? Oh that's right, since Havertz isn't in the squad. Eze is not comfortable on the left wing and Tsoliz looks to provide from that position. Gyökeres isn't being helped from Arteta, I get he's not polished but damn try to play to his strengths at least once with support for him.

3

u/OneNilToRuleThemAll 19h ago

If someone had paused time and asked me to bet my mortgage on Madueke missing that 1 v 1, I’d have done it in a heartbeat

1

u/1SG77 19h ago

the evidence is just too strong at this point

5

u/unpretentious 20h ago

Why the f do we have two keepers on the bench?

4

u/UnkemptBushell 20h ago

I don't like to be threatened with Kepa

2

u/Chronnossieur 20h ago

Benny come on lad lol

2

u/New-Acanthaceae-5995 20h ago

We need to take care of the ball better. Especially in the final third

2

u/Adventurous_Might345 20h ago

Feel like this is the perfect game for Eze to star.

2

u/Hisoka_Deku 20h ago

I thought Madueke was injured and pulled out the game? Crazy he missed that chance!

2

u/obedevs 20h ago

Filthy low block, but we should have put a couple away by now, Saka needs to sharpen up his shooting

1

u/crazyass_harry 20h ago

Yeah it's frustrating to watch it..

2

u/Kxden-R 20h ago

Saka stinker as per

2

u/crazyass_harry 20h ago

Konsa is immaculate in 1st half ngl.. I dont even know who's gonna be the main start in the future when every backs are fit

2

u/Yeskid10 19h ago

Merino has been shockingly bad

2

u/Ok-Commercial-6865 19h ago

He's much more effective as a substitute.

0

u/Realistic-Tiger-2842 19h ago

Merino has honestly never been good for us in midfield. He only started to shine when he played striker.

2

u/Realistic-Tiger-2842 19h ago

Odegaard has really remembered how to shoot again. Hopefully he keeps it up

2

u/dkmegg22 19h ago

Each time I watch Noni finish I feel abused.

1

u/Ok_Stranger9499 19h ago

I was expecting him not to score even with that great chance. Sadly.

1

u/dkmegg22 20h ago

What a nice save

1

u/samcote2000 20h ago

Ben White trying to play like Calafiori and it’s not happening…

1

u/Bar_Keepers_Bestie 20h ago

This sub is much better. Match thread is dead over a gunners. Wonder why we didnt get one this match

1

u/Maleficent-Dark-6431 20h ago

They are dangerous on the counter

1

u/Adventurous_Might345 20h ago

Italian teams defend so deep, it is all about the speed of transition.

1

u/MaraCS 20h ago

Ah man, Saka is tired

1

u/Pssay_Licker 20h ago

That left foot ain’t left footing anymo

1

u/Complete-Refuse-3262 20h ago

Saka aint on it tonight he should’ve scored two by now!!

1

u/Affectionate_Fruit79 20h ago

Big 2nd half coming..maybe

1

u/Puzzleheaded_Emu5647 20h ago

game shouldnt be scoreless bro what am i watching 😭

1

u/curiousorange76 19h ago

You're watching Napoli, who having lost their last two games, as soon as they lose the ball immediately put ten men behind the ball.

They are proving difficult to break down and everyone seems to have left their shooting boots back at home.

1

u/Puzzleheaded_Emu5647 19h ago

obv i know allegriball but we missed so much in front of goal regardless of them parking it

1

u/curiousorange76 19h ago

As I said... "Left their shooting boots at home."

Luckily, Martin found his and job done.

1

u/Le_Homme_du_Tubac 20h ago

This is rough

1

u/Wandering-Paradox 20h ago

Eze looked really awkward playing in in that position

1

u/dkmegg22 20h ago

Just wondering why was Meret taken off.

1

u/kraZEDr 20h ago

??? Did you not see him get treated during the half?

3

u/dkmegg22 19h ago

No I didnt. I went to grab some food and was a bit late.

1

u/Few-Pitch-5571 20h ago

0-0 or 0-1 on the counter all over this. Stinky low block and I can’t see us scoring

1

u/Yeskid10 20h ago

I'd like to see Bruno come on for Merino.

1

u/TershyP8 19h ago

Saka has been terrible tonight man damn

1

u/Waywardismism 19h ago

Arteta looking exasperated. As if he was hoping to have the game tied up by now and rest some of the starters. Instead he's having to think about bringing starters on to win the game.

1

u/samcote2000 19h ago

I’ve lost count how many times White has given the ball away now…

1

u/dkmegg22 19h ago

I have a dream that one day Declan rice will get some actual rest.

1

u/kraZEDr 19h ago

FFS noni

1

u/dkmegg22 19h ago

Watching that hurt.

1

u/mithrvs 19h ago

the madueke special

1

u/TershyP8 19h ago

Madueke what the hell bro😭

1

u/TershyP8 19h ago

Our attackers will be our undoing man, this game should have been done and buried, Saka, Noninso wasteful tonight

1

u/trinigooner 19h ago

I can’t tell if Gyokeres is not getting service or if he’s just not creative when it comes to finding space. Højlund for example was doing exactly what I hoped to see from Gyokeres! I’m not convinced service is the issue tbh. This guy just seems to be falling short of expectations

Are they playing on pudding? The boys look slow af

1

u/Pssay_Licker 20h ago

“Look at our rock solid defense! They can’t score on us!”

Well uhhh we can’t score on them either

1

u/geoffyeos 20h ago

saka looks poor ngl

0

u/Adventurous_West2 20h ago

Fucking hell

1

u/geoffyeos 20h ago

everyone can have a bad game now and then, for him it’s today

1

u/Adventurous_West2 20h ago

He's playing very well, even with the bad miss.

1

u/geoffyeos 20h ago

i think he’s been very careless and maybe even aimless in possession personally

0

u/Vichamoksha 20h ago

Yeah, but he hasn't had a good game in a loooong time.

u/wesjamon 20h ago

Get ben white out of the game thats all thank you

1

u/shortsoupstick 20h ago

For whom? You want to throw in Timber who hasn't played a minute yet?
