We have been terrible at keeping them out and our counter is piss pooor.But this is also the pragmatism many were calling for. Defending first. Staying compact, hit them on the counter.
Too right- it can f**k off - until the second half when I’ll be hopeful…With that Son ricochet I thought we were going to be blessed by the football gods for once.
But no - a corner that never was followed by a fluky own goal.
Football can fuck off.
He's not a full back ..he's a wing back in a 5 .3 .2 he's world class
You are really showing your nerd tonight mateThe fucking Kane theme being played before the second half.
Makes sense. Both the Gooners and Glenn Jacobs are braindead.
Forgot the league position. Stay up, challenge in the cups. Fuck the Sky TV PL bias. Throw games against certain clubs and play u18’s, specifically the Goo s rivalsPalace are currently level on points with us.
We will drop a position if we don’t get anything from this game and United beat Saints at old Trafford tomorrow.
It's the stupid tactics. As soon as we get the ball, our whole team bolts forward. With Bergvall playing 10 we left with Sarr and Bissouma in the middle. It hasn't worked in 1 game. Why did he start like that?Spence apart I think our players have been very poor. Gray has been ok but is not urgent enough in possession. Kulusevski has been terrible and just constantly gives the ball away. Son's lack of actual tackling makes all his defensive running pointless. Look how Artsenal are all over our players when we have the ball. We are too passive.
Well I,'m glad you are happyWe’re only 1 goal down. And but for an officiating fuck up we would probably be at 1-1.
Considering the seismic difference in on field quality, I’d consider that being competitive, yes.
FFSThe melting here is hilarious. Neither side was good, very little created, ref was shit and possibly biased, deserved score is 0-0 tbh. All to play for 2nd half. We have a thin bench but so do they
I remember him season before last when Newcastle scored against them and there was all that controversy of whether the ball went out of play. Monkeyman Keown went apoplectic saying there needed to be cameras on the touchline and so on. Tonight, he just says “oh ok, Woolwich got a bit lucky.” Hate that cunt.What a surprise
Keown's reaction to the corner
"Well it was a corner because the referee gave a corner so that's that done"
And that's it - halftime analysis complete
