Oh, Oleks... you know you can't do that

[–] sensiblepuffin@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Looooooooooool you're serious now?

Odegaard with our first shot on target. Our captain doing it himself if he has too

[–] TheBig2023Meltdown@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

What a shot that was too

I absolutely hope that NBC does not put Andros Townsend on more of the games, irritating af

Saying the palace non-penalty was the only thing the refs got wrong made me crack up laughing

[–] MHPengwingz@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

So many cards this match it's like Christmas

[–] merc@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 years ago (2 children)

If an opposing player held back a counter attack like that, we'd be demanding a yellow card. It's unfortunate, but he was in trouble when he got the first card for time wasting, he couldn't take that chance.

I wonder if this means that Gabriel will actually start the next match. I haven't been happy with this weird makeshift back 4 anyhow.

[–] Arsenal4ever@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Holding the ball for 8 seconds, not fouling a guy, red card.

[–] coygsu@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Cumulative time wasting, Havertz held it for 15 seconds and Tomi for 8 seconds afterwards. The player who has the ball gets carded.

[–] Arsenal4ever@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Yeah, seems unfair, but reasonable.

[–] coygsu@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Exactly, it was a counter and he was baited by the turn. It isn't enough for a yellow imo but it is still a foul. Whether or not it is a yellow is up to the refs discretion. Still you shouldn't be baited with a swivel like that at this level.

[–] merc@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

You have to be aware you're on a yellow card too. Even if you get baited, you have to rely on your other defenders. He was in Palace's half at the time, so there was time to get back.

[–] coygsu@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Correct, he didn't have any situational awareness and Ayew took the contact and made it appear worse than it is

[–] merc@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 years ago

I was always surprised that Wenger never seemed to try to bring in one of the Ayew brothers. They seem very much like Wenger players. Smart and technical while not the traditional blueprint of a striker / winger.

[–] sensiblepuffin@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Lol really? Is that how they're going to play it?

[–] MHPengwingz@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Damn it Eddie look up for a change

[–] coygsu@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

3 points won but we need to return to a back four with Zinchenko, Gabriel, Saliba and White.

[–] ironeaglebird@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

We're going to pass them to death. Lol

Bloody Christ Eddie......

[–] ironeaglebird@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

The group high five with Gabi, Ramsdale, and Saliba

[–] sensiblepuffin@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

The boys <3

[–] sensiblepuffin@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Partey hit the goddamn ISS with that clearance

[–] sensiblepuffin@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I'm glad to see this cynicism with fast starts from free kicks, but... perhaps.... maybe.... we could do something with it?

Really prefer White in that RB position. Hope Gabi gets back into the team soon.

[–] ironeaglebird@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Eddie took on 2 defenders well. Did it all right except the finish.

[–] sensiblepuffin@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Pretty sure all of Palace's in-box touches came from Eze dancing around Rice

[–] MHPengwingz@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Jorgi coming on...

[–] ironeaglebird@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

At least we're getting that call for us. Eze with we great skills.

[–] sensiblepuffin@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

My twerk kings coming on

[–] ironeaglebird@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Saka doing just enough to keep him off balance but not fouling.
