re: Arsenal 2022/23 Season Thread - Jesus Take The Wheel

As many yellows off the pitch as on. Referee has done nothing to discourage the persistent fouling.

Yeah too little too late

Xhaka was sent off for that before.

What a shite game.

Jesus needed to bury one of his many chances in the first half. This team still lacks a striker.

Some of the lads are starting to look a little gassed and ragged. Need to start making some subs, or a rotation.

Let’s be honest, that was really totally shite after first 20 minutes, and definitely second half we were basically done trying to hang on.

We are lucky to get a point. Thats Totally on Artetta, they were clearly gassed way too early coming off a Thursday game. The subs he put in were totally shite too. What did they lose the ball 30 times in last 20 minutes. They looked like they were asleep in a daze or something. I think they were surprised to be playing.

The shite ref didn’t help, but they are a lot of shite refs in the league but gunners looked a lot like last year, except they didn’t lose.

Jesus couldn’t score with platinum card in a whore house right now, it’s in his head too. Get with sports shrink.

Defense was generally good until they got completely gassed but no way tomatzo should have finished the game. He damn near gave up 3 goals. He is the new Xhaka. (Who was actually one of few bright spots)

Subs are not just a thing the Nazis used in WW2, why have a deep bench but you just aren’t going to use it. (please come back soon ESR.)

We are suddenly a terrible shooting team again, maybe it’s just fatigue but not getting second goal despite half a dozen good chances usually will get your arse beat.

Also, even more frustrating we were soft, basically played like pussys the entire second half. Maybe we need an enforcer or tough mean mfer in the January trade window. If they aren’t going to call shite then foul every time too.

Could have been worst, could have been a loss but they are going to have to make significant adjustments to these 48 hour turnaround games.

We need another queen to pass or something, for a break maybe but they look like they all just ran a 26 mile marathon after first 20 minutes.

Artetta has his work cut out for him
now are we might start a steak of bad games.

I was pretty surprised how overmatched Vieira looked. He’s been pretty good in Europa League, but he looked like he didn’t belong on the pitch today.

How many times did he and Partey give the ball away in the last 15 min or so?

Missed the game yesterday because I had a game at the same time. I think I jinxed us saying we hadn’t tied since January. But I saw the Jesus penalty shout and holy shite I can’t believe that wasn’t called.

Just watched the extended highlights and feel kind of the same as the PSV match - missing that finishing touch. Must be more clinical in front of goal. Also pretty sloppy in midfield. Got to stay strong to the WC break and start getting guys back.
