Up the Arse! Goons Thread

Apparently Odegaard has returned to training!

 

[glenferry23]

Odeegard has travelled with the squad to Milan. Rice hasn’t, an injury from the Newcastle game apparently.

Jorginho time. Very under-utilised the last 6 months or so.

 

[Judd2Sewell]

EPL race is over. We have been playing some poor football and look like a different side compared to last season. I wonder how much pressure Arteta will be under if the season continues to go poorly.

 

[glenferry23]

White and Timber fullbacks. Odeegard on the bench.

 

[glenferry23]

Inter with a dominant opening ten minutes here and unlucky not to be ahead.

Struggling to string 2-3 passes together.

 

[glenferry23]

Out of nothing really, right on half time. Once they give the handball it’s very unlikely to be overturned. Thought Arsenal grew into the half well after riding out the opening.

I’m of the view the Havertz Trossard front 2 thing has run it’s race. They did well in the absence of Odegaard however both look quite jaded with the amount of ground and defensive cover they’re tasked with. Havertz especially.

 

[Judd2Sewell]

Season teetering. We need to get a result here.

 

[glenferry23]

On a platter there for Saliba. Sheesh.

 

[glenferry23]

Banging down the door here for the equaliser, much better this.

Need to convert one of these chances.

 

[glenferry23]

Mikel you gotta let the ball go out first haha

 

[glenferry23]

Great block. Damn that fell for Havertz.

A goal is coming here. Need to maintain this.

Arteta needs to make the change. Odegaard or Nwaneri in here please. Someone direct.

 

[glenferry23]

Timber outstanding this half.

 

[glenferry23]

Shit that’s a nasty head clash. Sickening.

Hope Kai is ok, blood streaming down his face.

Odegaard on.

 

[glenferry23]

Deserved a point here I felt on the balance of that half.

 

[Judd2Sewell]

20 goals in 14 games.

 

[glenferry23]

I believe a penalty counts for .75 in this equation.

Missed chances very costly. That missed header for Saliba was a prime opportunity.

Despite back to back 1-0 losses, the performance here was much more encouraging. Against Newcastle we were inept, bordering on pathetic. Need to reproduce the second half here against Chelsea this weekend.

 

[Cruyff14]

Need to lift against Chelsea.

A good record there which is tidy. I do wish he'd use Nwaneri a lot more than he has. Arteta has his favourites and barely strays from them.

 

[glenferry23]

Broken toe for Rice apparently.

 

[Planet14]

Can’t believe the year City fall away we sh1t the bed. Liverpool’s title to lose at this point.

Sorely lack creatively and goals from midfield. If only we had a player like that young #32 at Fulham, he looks like as perfect back-up for Odegaard, just in case Odegaard were to ever get injured.

 

[windyhill]

Agreed, being in Arsenals shadow his entire life AND a norf fan. Feel for him.

 

[glenferry23]

This was definitely a must not lose match in my mind. Performance appears to be much better. Odegaard back on the pitch changes the dynamics. Didn’t like the space afforded to them for the equaliser. Trossard really should have buried that chance late on to win it.

 

[Cruyff14]

Managed to catch the last 20 because my daughter woke up at 4.

We look so much better with Odegaard. Partey and Merino looked good from what I saw.

The chance right at the end, damn!

 

[dirty2]

Slept through my alarm

 

[andana]

This is how I felt also
