Geordie Ahmed Posted November 3, 2024 Share Posted November 3, 2024 The Arsenal fans I know are all having a little whinge about Joelinton, some are saying he should be in wwe as he's more interested in fighting than playing football When Joelinton is upsetting the opposition it just shows he's bullying their team and they can't handle it Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The comms i had on were praising how the ref let the play flow but thought more yellows were needed to protect our players. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They seemed to come in with the mentality of massive underdogs. I think they thought we'd not score. And they'd nick one of a setpiece so time wasted from the start.

Smal Posted November 3, 2024 Share Posted November 3, 2024 Joelinton made 4 fouls and didn't get a yellow tbf. Partey and Havertz made 3 with no yellow too so horses for courses. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lush Vlad Posted November 3, 2024 Share Posted November 3, 2024 12 hours ago, AyeDubbleYoo said: I feel like Arteta concentrated too much on the kind of game he expected us to play. Even when losing they were slowing the game down and trying to take the sting out it. Yet some of their individual players were trying to foul and needle us. Could be wrong but it felt like they were overly prepared for the occasion and not enough to play the match. Yep. Rata taking that free kick early on near the East Stand. Was fucking about for ages and took forever to take it. They’ve been like it all season, mind. Probably a lot to do with being down to ten men and also in games where they’ve shut up shop after getting a lead. But they’ve still been keen to slow things down. More fool them.

I mean, of course there is. Arsenal lost a game. So they have to blame someone Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They seemed to come in with the mentality of massive underdogs. They came down to earth with a bump in the last couple of weeks. They thought they'd found the holy grail by becoming harder to beat, but they've lost something in their fluency going forward IMO. They gave us football lessons a year ago, now they didn't look anything special at all. I know they didn't have Odengaard, but surely their game doesn't just revolve around one player?

nortoon Posted November 3, 2024 Share Posted November 3, 2024 Pet hate of mine is how he almost never gets free-kicks because of how strong he is. People dragging him back with both arms goes unpunished sometimes. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shak Posted November 10, 2024 Share Posted November 10, 2024 It would be the most Joelinton thing imaginable if he were to step up and solve the RW problem. He'll never be a massive creative force but he has so much more about him than Murphy or Almiron in his general play and if it allows Gordon to play left then it adds so much to our team.

Ends up giving us an extra man centrally at times, but getting wide at the right times too. Played off of Tino's overlapping runs well too, and even played in Isak at times. Too good.
