Newcastle United 1-0 Arsenal (02/11/24)

[LiquidAK]

Couple of good blocks from our lads but other than that very little to worry about. Imperious defensive performance 

[RodneyCisse]

Arteta busy reapplying his eyeliner ahead of an interview for us?

You might say he got in a right Muller!

 

I'll see myself out...

Nice team performance. Although it was the opposite side Isak’s header reminded me of Kluivert’s v Chelsea.

Actually just thinking, Ginola first time cross to Sir Les vs (I think) Wimbledon as well.

[Steve Charlton]

How many challenges did Longstaff make,He was superb.Lewis Hall man of the match

 

I love Bruno & Eddie

Ahh so Arsenal soft as usual. Tippy tappy and no actual goal threat?

Not even that really, they weren't even neat and tidy, they offered nothing

We had such a compact shape and allied to our application, I never really felt like we were going to concede after the first 5 mins.

[Joelinton7]

Something about them just ignores a fire in us. I think it’s because they’re massive crybabies

You forget the Rice miss already?

 

We took our chance. They blew their one real chance.

I think that’s where it’s so frustrating watching this post match stuff, nothing about how little they created 

[Gallowgate Toon]

Ultimately, pretty comfortable. What a goal - cross & header imperious.

 

Arteta has built an incredibly fucking dull team.

I for one am glad nobody did their load early on here and admit defeat before a ball was kicked  

 

Struggling for MOTM today. I thought only really Schar and Burn were below their best. 

 

Wish someone was petty enough to quote all the bed wetters that were bawling their eyes out when the starting line-up was announced

what an engine Longstaff has, he's covered every inch last two games

How quickly this will be forgotten, unfortunately

Draw was the fair result, but Rice fucked their golden chance and Isak took ours.

Wasn't a chance imo, cross was behind him and he got nothing on it.

Similar to last year wasn’t it, where Rice had that header, albeit it was a way out and that was it for them. Unless I’m misremembering.

Womp womp

Arsenal's tactics where really weird in general, I thought they'd change it at half time but they didn't, they where just pumping it out to the wings to get crosses in the box, but they play with a false nine and don't have a recognized striker, so it just didn't lead anywhere, Pope didn't have a save to make all game, and I barely remember even attempting a ball through the lines either. Its odd. Then you add in the fact they're getting known for scoring from set pieces, and they genuinely look like a Stoke side from a decade ago.

How was a draw the fair result?

Over 90 mins if you can restrict a team like Arsenal to one chance, that's not bad like.

Excuse me? They offered absolutely nothing, and couldn't break us down, they didn't deserve shite.

Both teams created very little across the 90 outside of 1 big-ish chance each. Rice blundered their chance very late on, but Isak took our chance brilliantly. 

 

I'm very happy with the result, of course.
