EPL Matchday 22 - On Optus Sport

[Frank Bunn]

Hammers looked much better with Cressa back. There was some sloppy moments they need to iron out. Declan was an absolute rock!

I liked the Norwich forward Adam Idah. He's a 20 yo big unit with pace. No idea why Dean Smith subbed him off.

 

[SM]

He'll be a good Salah replacement

He's no ASM.

With Xhaka out currently our senior listed midfielders are Lokonga...

Would take a draw in a heartbeat and move on.

 

[chef]

Christensen out with covid.

Ah yes…gives them time for new signings and then Cornet to return from AFCON.

This season really has become distorted. Awfully convenient a side who just lost their main striker suddenly can't play.

Agree with Hasenhuttl …his idea in last paragraph has some merit

Would be a bit awkward if that meant a side had no GK..

Good point …and a few clubs may have sold and brought in others etc. Silly idea by Ralph

Sweet we can bring back Digne for a few games.

pep says we have more covid cases but doesnt disclose who

I sometimes wonder what the point of getting Pep to do pressers is given how little he reveals.

Arteta claiming after Xhaka's red card arsenal will ask for a postponement. Firstly why should a game be called off due to a suspension. Secondly we'd rather him not suspended, give him a delayed sentence. We are more chance getting a penalty or playing against 10 with him in the starting line-up

Firstly why should a game be called off due to a suspension.

It's the rules the clubs all agreed on. Doesn't seem right but it's different times.

Get ****ed Arsenal you weak yellow bellied flogs. 1 covid case. You chose to loan out 9 players.

Naturally now we’ll get them with all their AFCON guys back. Pitiful club.

 

[moomba]

No chance

 

[jd2010]

It's the rules the clubs all agreed on. Doesn't seem right but it's different times.

Surely loaning out 2 players during a pandemic and during an international tournament is a sub-clause in the rules. It's become an absolute farce. Both clubs have 1 covid case each

Give a suspended sentence until the players come back. Games can't just keep getting pushed back let alone for an individuals on field stupidity

 

[kreglze]

Hate the rules, but if they are there and other teams have used them in the past to their benefit, Arsenal shouldn't be any different.

PL at the start should of just said no postponing and left it at that.

The Xhaka red card leading to this is almost as funny as Manquilo's 5th yellow card for time wasting leading to a suspension for him and thus Newcastle not having enough players.

 

[chef]

Another goal to Gallagher, having a great loan.

Loaning players out and leaving the squad 2 short of the Max to start with should come into consideration.

To be honest I'm a bit scared of the line-up we'd stick out with no Son and our main 2 CBs both out

 

[Cruyff14]

I won't complain if our game is PP but I do not agree with it if they do it. It's a joke.

 

[Magma]

just scrounge together what you can from reserves and youth and play. if you lose then so be it. we only have 19 senior players registered because of transfer and loan decisions that the club made knowing a pandemic was still going on. injuries will always happen and if you dont want to lose players to afcon, dont buy african footballers.
