AyeDubbleYoo Posted November 2 Share Posted November 2 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. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The way they were slowing down the game early on, taking a long time to take free kicks, etc was very odd to me. They seemed to come in with the mentality of massive underdogs.

They seemed to come in with the mentality of massive underdogs. Reminded me of when Man Utd came and had De Gea take ages over every goal kick. Just served to wind the crowd up and make things even harder for them, just because they were obsessed with combatting our play style. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They seemed to come in with the mentality of massive underdogs. They did similar when they beat us 2-0 at SJP. Maybe they were trying to replicate that or something.. The real reason why they won that was an early goal right after we missed two huge chances, though. Edited November 3 by Erikse Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smal Posted November 3 Share Posted November 3 will always really enjoy that whenever there’s a 50/50 it becomes a 90/10 in our favour when Joelinton’s involved. He must be terrifying to play against . One of the most physical players I’ve ever seen. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRon Posted November 3 Share Posted November 3 Must admit it did give me a nice start to the morning reading how much Arteta dreads facing Joelinton. His nightmares probably revolve around golden haired brown monsters chasing down little red and white hoods. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geordie Ahmed Posted November 3 Share Posted November 3 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...

Smal Posted November 3 Share Posted November 3 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...

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 Share Posted November 3 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 Share Posted November 10 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.
