Arsenal 1-0 Newcastle United - 18/05

[Jordan]

Gordon up front now 

[jonny1403]

I think he’s given up here and resting Barnes for next week. We need two goals anyway.

[Keggy_Keagal]

Miley and Osula looking bright.  Now if we're not going to win this can someone please do a Joelinton special and absolutely flatten Havertz

How the fuck has Gordon stayed on instead of Barnes?

 

As my old work colleague used to say “It’s not who you know, it’s who you blow”!

[Lush Vlad]

Can only agree with others. Gordon has been wank since coming back and hasn’t been good most the season. 
 

Yet we move one of our most in form attacking players, who has a great understanding with the man behind him. Just to accommodate him.
 

It’s bullshit. 

[KetsbaiaIsBald]

Come on.  Free kick worldie 

[midds]

Needs a Schar shitpinger here

[Danh1]

Schar to drive this straight into the wall no doubt 

[Sean]

Does anyone know what our record with and without Gordon in the team is since he signed? Would be interested to know but CBA / not sure how to check

They’re both on?

 

Should have kept Murphy on and moves Barnes to the left mind.

[JUICE690]

Surprised that didn't go against us.

[mush]

Somebody at least snap Havertz

[Billy Warthog]

Not over yet. Hope springs eternal.

Barnes has just come off for Willock.

Barnes has just gone off.

[Bellis80]

Playing Gordon on the left with Barnes on the right and only switching Gordon after Barnes has gone off is unbelievable

Literally thought that 😂

feels like we have to try not to upset Gordon for some reason. Can’t play him on the right, reluctant to sub him off, even at the cost of two of our best players in recent months. Bizarre stuff.

[Sibierski]

How does Pope manage to spade foot it every time  

[Danh1]

Osula put a couple of decent balls in. 

[JUICE690]

Afer Saka went off we should have popped Barnes on the left.

You're referring to how Isak likes having Murphy as provider, Tripps/Miggy, with Gordon I'm not convinced it's a relationship thing or chemistry, it's more a personal thing, he plays for himself a bit, especially doesn't like the graft, he'll run like the wind going forward, but covering his fullback doesn't interest him.

 

Eddie I feel does give the lad a lot of respect, and favourites him a bit.

I agree mostly.  His use of his striker and fullback is inconsistent. 
 

Tino has a relationship with Barnes.

Or it’s because Gordon is hands down our fittest player? Barnes was shagged after 60 last week.
