Up the Arse! Goons Thread

[andana]

he’s been available in the matchday squads the last few games.

Thats why I read it as a new setback. Looks like it was just poor sentence construction
Be good to see White come in . Timber has been outstanding but needs to be managed.
Like a few others

Dowman starts

Max Dowman becomes Arsenal's youngest starter

Max Dowman becomes Arsenal's youngest starter

By being named in the team for tonight's Carabao Cup fourth round tie against Brighton, the 15-year-old has broken a club record

Good starting line-up. They all need minutes and we're going to be scratchy, but the rest afforded that bench will be invaluable. Good chance we drop this one, but in the long run, might be a blessing.

Brilliant moment for Dowman and his family. 17 year old Harriman Annous too. I mentioned yesterday I wasn’t sure if any other academy kids are in line for this one, pleasantly surprised Arteta has done it.

Great opportunity for the rest of the squad. I for one feel those 2 semi finals in January this year heavily contributed to the injury crisis at the time that derailed the season.

 

[glenferry23]

Brighton really should be ahead. 2 big chances fluffed. End to end stuff so far.

 

[glenferry23]

Harriman Annous is a big boy for 17. Like Dowman, doesn’t look out of place against grown men on the pitch.

4 teenagers starting for Arsenal here. Wild.

Hopefully he stuffs Brighton up the Annous.

Hopefully he stuffs Brighton up the Annous.

The Hairy man part of the hyphen doing him no favours either.

 

[glenferry23]

Fortunate to be level at half time. Brighton all over Arsenal at times, a great chance for them to win this trophy.

Arsenal had brief moments but too many offsides.

What a stat this is.

 

[glenferry23]

That’s fair enough, no penalty for me either. Dowman is a real handful however didn’t look enough to be a penalty for me.

 

[glenferry23]

Dowman giving de Cuyper a real torrid time here. Great stuff.

 

[glenferry23]

That’s a ****ing brilliant team goal. Magnificent.

But how many less goals did they score compared to us in those games

 

[glenferry23]

How many more chances do Brighton want haha? Another one fluffed. Excellent block from Hincapie.

Triple change now. Great reception for Dowman coming off, fantastic 70 minutes for him.

 

[glenferry23]

Cleared off the goal line from Merino. Going in for the kill now.

 

[glenferry23]

And there it is. Cut them open and Saka from the rebound.

 

[glenferry23]

Trossard hits the post. He always looks for a goal against his old team haha.

 

[Gambit78]

Ah, was that two goals from open play? Scandalous...

 

[Crow-eater]

6 games in October. 12 goals scored, 0 conceded. Pretty decent.

Have we peaked too early or is this the new normal?

 

[glenferry23]

Crystal Palace at home in the quarter final.

 

[glenferry23]

Lovely passage of play from a boring team that just plays for set pieces

 

[Crow-eater]

Have we peaked? I dunno, we still have Ode, Madueke and Havertz (Plus now Saliba and Martinelli) injured. I think we can go to another level, attack wise.

 

[Judd2Sewell]

How long are Saliba and Martinelli out for? I haven't read/heard anyone confirm their situations.

Maximum WOWman, amirite? What a talent we have on our hands.

Great to see Hincapie, White and Mosquera all play pretty well. I'd have loved to see Eze get another goal, but he's had some moments.

 

[Judd2Sewell]

Have we peaked too early or is this the new normal?

We still have if not our best, then our second best player, in Ødegaard to return.

Plus multiple depth options - including a beefed-up Havertz, who I think will provide better build-up play than Gyokores. Hopefully Madueke will bring some unpredictability too against teams that park the bus.
