Anon Posted January 4, 2023 Share Posted January 4, 2023 This is why I always have so much time for Pep: very rarely do you hear him come out and whinge after games like this. If you're meant to playing to win the league, either play the team off the park or come out and give them credit for making it difficult after the game. Moaning about a team defending away from home and marginal ref decisions makes you look a petty twat. That said, controversially, I wish we'd played our normal game against these and Liverpool and lost 6-3 rather than time wasting for a 0-0. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We did play our normal game against Liverpool and you would rather get beat 6 - 3 than take a point . Edited January 4, 2023 by et tu brute Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

St1pe Posted January 4, 2023 Share Posted January 4, 2023 Given the penalties we haven’t been given this season I think id have lost my shit I’d the Murphy one was given at the end… the shirt pull was a pen for me though. Arteta is a fanny. I hope they bottle the title. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ExiledGeordie Posted January 4, 2023 Share Posted January 4, 2023 I think a fully fit Isak (and/or a more mobile attacking left back) and we play more aggressive yesterday on the counter attack. With Arsenals attacking power Howe clearly didnt trust trust ASM ahead of Burn and it was more an all hands to the pumps plan rather than have a go at them like we did at Liverpool. It’ll be interesting to see how a fully fit Isak might change plans slightly moving forwards particularly away from home. I can see Isak getting far more game time than ASM and especially away from home. That said there’s all sorts of front 3 combinations moving forwards for different games.

Last night I’d agree we were far more pragmatic and were happy to turn the match into a scrappy affair. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hanshithispantz Posted January 4, 2023 Share Posted January 4, 2023 (edited) We essentially went 2-0 against Liverpool We weren’t negative at all. Last night we sussed pretty early on that Arsenal are one of the quickest and most incisive passers in the world so abandoned our usual style pretty quickly Frustrating them into a draw is much more satisfying than being patted on the back for “playing the right way” and losing 5-0. The time wasting stuff is nonsense, every team does the same thing when they’re in a position to gain points away to clearly better sides, we’re just in those positions more often than most.

I'd maybe agree if this was our permanent gameplan but it's not. We have to adapt when things don't look like they're going to go our way. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
