Newcastle United 1-2 Arsenal (28/09/25)


Recommended Posts

Arteta and Arsenal are hilarious, it's like they came up expecting to feel hard done by, whereas basically every decision has been correct. Its great :lol:

 

We don't really deserve to be ahead, and it feels like if we carry on like this we'll eventually concede. Would be tempted to bring Trips on for Murphy and go three at the back.

 

That said Thaiw and Botman have been quality, as has big Nick, his holdup play has been really good.

Not the game for Murphy at all. His lack of a brain hurting us a bit. I’d be getting Elanga on. 
 

Gordon was atrocious for 35 mins or so. Warmed into the game a bit towards the end of the half. 
 

Burn actually doing well. But sat so deep and we can’t get out at all down that side with him receiving the ball of Pope or Botman.

Don't like Murphy in this sort of game. Arsenal press and close down too well, and he's not comfortable enough on the ball and won't run with it to release pressure.

 

Think Elanga would suit this game better.

 

Murphy more for opposition that just sit back.

Slightly fortunate to be in front, but will take it. Lucky not to concede a pen and Pope has made some great stops. 👍 That said - brilliant header from Big Nick - classic centre forwards header! 😎

 

More work to do 2nd half though / this isn’t won yet.

Murphy's first touch is atrocious under pressure.

Arsenal were absolutely all over us but didn't take their chances. Asking for trouble when there's a scruffy baller up top for the opposing team. 

 

Wouldn't even have been overly critical of our performance of we's gone behind; they just had our number up to that point. Always a man over, never giving us any space.

 

Huge goal for us
