Arsenal Team Talk/Gossip/Rumours 2024/25

I'm nervous as hell watching us play it out from the back

Christ only one team in it at the min

We are all at sea here, need to get a foothold in the game

Far too much back passing.

This is hard watching, so many players look nervous, haven't settled in to the game at all

Feels like we need half time, which says it all really. Bit of a disaster so far.

Rice needs to take over free kicks.

Partey is an absolutely huge miss here. We can’t keep the ball at all and that’s basically his superpower. What a stupid fcking booking that was at the Bernabeu.

Does every commentator want us beaten? Seems so.

Never a foul by Saka. Ridiculous.

Well better end to the half anyway.

I don't know how Timber wasn't booked and he was lucky that penalty wasn't given. Yes yer man went down easy but he basically tried to rugby tackle him, it would not have been overturned if it was given.

Saka understandably frustrated at that terrible decision with the linesman being right next to them, but stupid to kick it away like that. About a minute later he had to pull out of a tackle because of it.

We're still well in this. Need to keep the heads and impose our game on them. Awful nervy start.

Getting into it a little bit towards the end of the half. Oh man i hate seeing it go back to Raya, we're far too casual at the back for my liking. Just need to keep pressing, ive a feeling Martinelli was just off there at the end but a well worked move all the same.
Such a horrible nervous energy amongst the players tonight

This ref seems quite annoying!

Yeah, the last few minutes showed a bit of grit, but we were definitely second best out there
