Arsenal 2 - 0 Newcastle United (27/11/2021)


Recommended Posts

I don't think we've been that bad, like. We're still very much in the game, and still have some half-decent options from the bench. I'm looking forward to seeing how Almirón plays after a week and a half of actual training.

We haven’t been bad, especially not at the start. They were obviously being told to really push it towards the end of the half.

The ASM/Ritchie defensive partnership is an absolute shambles. ASM isn't really in the game at all on the left, I'd consider switching him to the right to cause Tavares problems and give Tavares something to think about, considering Tavares is having so much freedom.

We kept them mostly at arm's length, but were lucky to get away with the Auba miss. They were lucky in turn to not concede a penalty from the corner.

 

I didn't expect us to have as little possession, or to see ASM running in blind alleys again as in Bruceball. Callum Wilson looks like he has them worried, but he's not getting the ball and the ref's giving him nowt when they foul him. There is definitely potential there though.

 

Give it 10 or so and then see if Miggy can inject some energy.

No we haven’t

Aye we have, no possession, being outrun in midfield again and sitting deep. No out ball either. It’s poor, very poor.

I thought the directive now was that if it hits the hand and diverts the ball - which it did - it has to be given. 


No, rules were made more lenient after the farce start to last season that included our pen at Spurs.
