GWT: EPL Match Day 1

[Ar-too]

Boring ol' soccer, amirite?

 

[Cassano]

I have a bet on 2-2.

Strongly doubt the score holds imo. Weak defenses on both sides.

 

[StatesideSensFan]

I have a bet on 2-2.

Haha like either of these teams aren't scoring in 45 minutes

 

[Live in the Now]

Let's hope they don't!

 

[Jussi]

I have a bet on 2-2.

Same.

 

[John Pedro]

Welbeck's goal was almost all Lacazette. Amazing effort and pass (don't think he meant to pass there but still). A great debut so far.

He's been good, but calm down

"all Lacazette"? ...dude fell down and scuffed his shot. Kolasinac and Wellbeck bailed him out.

If only he had decent first touch

 

[hatterson]

One thing I learned is that apparently Okazaki has a 90 inch vertical because he's winning a ton of headers for a dude who's 5'9

 

[Adonis Creed]

Seo has been amazing.
Winning tons of tackle and an abslute TANK going fwd

The second goal was somebody he should have been marking. Besides that he has been good, yes.

Also, Leicester and particularly Mahrez have been poor. All their attacks are coming from balls gifted to them in Arsenal's defensive half by Xhaka and Holding.

Kolasinac and Welbeck had a 2on1 on the keeper thanks to Lacazette efforts. He had great touch and protected the ball really well there, then showed great hustle to get a shot off while falling down. Arsenal got a lucky bounce since his missed shot ends up on Kola's feet.

He fumbled control a little, fell down, and got a lucky bounce. Yea it was good work to be there, but that was hardly some heroic play.

Let's just agree that it was a nice effort. Maybe I'm a bit too excited about finally having a great striker.

 

[booyakasha]

Xhaka is so, so bad.

 

[John Pedro]

Ramsey in for Xhaka, pleeease

 

[StatesideSensFan]

Haha 3-2 Vardy off a corner

Xhaka just lets him go

 

[hatterson]

Arsenal is so freaking bad at getting the ball out of their end. So many giveaways when they aren't even under pressure.

 

[Jersey Fresh]

Arsenal

 

[John Pedro]

Arsenal's defense is hot garbage ugh

 

[hatterson]

Yep, that all came from a couple of bad giveaways. And then Vardy just walked in and had a free header from the 6 yard box. Literally no one touched him or even moved towards him the entire time.

 

[bleedblue1223]

Xhaka is so overrated.

 

[Live in the Now]

Xhaka is so overrated.

Not sure anyone rates him anymore, and if they do they definitely shouldn't. He's the kind of player you love to see on your rival's team sheet every week. Might score a few 30 yarders but his overall contribution is pretty bad.

 

[PeteWorrell]

Weren't people saying that he was turning it around?Can't believe Arsenal paid so much for him.

Really? I remember only a week or two ago a couple people on here were saying he was gonna rip up the EPL this year because after he adjusted he was doing amazing last year.

Granted those were gunners fans, but still, it's clear at least some people think he's amazing.
