What the actual fuck is that red card

That is some fucking BULLSHIT. HOWWWWW!????!?!?

I would like to see Zinchenko and Trossard come on... This experiment isn't quite working

That is not a foul. Holy fuck was that a bad call.

So, that's 3 left back options that are unavailable for the next PL match (interestingly, none of them are really left backs).

• Zinchenko: short-term injury
• Timber: long-term injury
• Tomiyasu: suspension

I wonder who option #4 is? Probably Kiwior, even though he also isn't a left back?

I don't want to overreact, but Zinchenko came on and we basically started controlling the game, even with 10 men

That wasn’t even a foul + Ayew actually has made two yellow card fouls and is still on the pitch.

What a bullshit second yellow card. Ref has lost his fucking mind.

Another perfect last grasp tackle from Saliba.

I just want a comfortable win. Hopefully the upcoming weekend but I'll settle for it being the United game.

Oh wow, look at that! What a promising counter, if not for Eddie being fouled. I wonder if there's something that we could do to discourage players from doing that?

Roy Hodgson seems like a good sport.

I don't get why we are playing with partey in defense and tomiyasu on his weaker side.

I get zinchenko is just coming back from injury but Tierney can't even make the bench? Put partey in with rice and have havertz come in off the bench if needed.

We don't look very fluid right now and having partey cleaning up in the midfield behind rice and odegaard would be really useful

Partey man, I'm telling you. He's itching to give the ball away.

Arteta looks fucking pissed

ONE NIL TO THE ARSENAL

So, Arsenal effectively finished the game with 3 CBs, 4 CMs a winger, and a ?Forward? (Havertz)

• CB: Gabriel, Saliba, Kiwior
• CM: Partey, Rice, Jorginho, Zinchenko
• Saka, Havertz

Interesting for a team that wasn't playing a 3-at-the-back formation at any point.

There was no fucking contact wth

Oh thank god we held on.

Mikel, pleaaaase do not try anything new Saturday. We were very lucky CP don't have any finishers.

I'm very ticked off about Tomiyasu's two yellows.

There you go, proper Arsenal matchday.

I'm very curious to hear what Arteta has to say about the anti-time-wasting stuff they've implemented.

Yo Mikel's hair has gotten more gray

So they're still not punishing goalkeepers for taking five years to take a goal kick?

Partey did well after the red card

Grasping at straws a little bit...

Partey is a bit sloppy with his passes

Crystal Palace are not a bad team.

HOLY FUCK IT'S HAPPENING

If an opposing player held back a counter attack like that, we'd be demanding a yellow card. It's unfortunate, but he was in trouble when he got the first card for time wasting, he couldn't take that chance.

I wonder if this means that Gabriel will actually start the next match. I haven't been happy with this weird makeshift back 4 anyhow.

I don't know why Arteta doesn't make some changes at the hour mark. Trossard for Nketiah, even Gabriel for Tommy.

You get some fresh legs up top, and a solid defense.

Tangent: Holy shit we're lucky.

Looooooooooool you're serious now?

I absolutely hope that NBC does not put Andros Townsend on more of the games, irritating af

Sorry work, its going to be a slow afternoon for me. Not surprised to see the same line up, and hopefully we continue to build on out season with another win.

Rice lose a contact lense? I never consider footballers have them.

Love seeing Declan and Tomi shouting instructions on the pitch...

And there goes the Saliba chant

Oh fuck....
