GWT: EPL - Matchweek 1

[King Makar19]

5 million Pass.

 

[Satan]

holy shit Bukayo

 

[robertmac43]

Saka my word. What a strike.

 

[Blender]

Saka has loads of talent and well on his way to being world class if he keeps developing, no doubt there.

 

[Evilo]

I think he's already arguably world class.

 

[King Makar19]

Hes already top 2 RW in the world...

 

[hatterson]

Attackers are weird to rank recently because there’s such fluidity up front, but I don’t see any issue with calling him world class.

 

[Brunkmeister]

Hes already top 2 RW in the world...

We have two world class wingers and that’s why we’re not desperate for a world class CF.

 

[KJS14]

Arguably the best winger pair in the world.

That Martinelli assist is what Antony dreams of doing every night before he wakes up and just does mindless skills with no end product.

 

[Jersey Fresh]

Poor Timber.

 

[robertmac43]

Sucks for timber, hoping it's a minor injury

 

[KJS14]

Hopefully his calf and not his knee. He's been so good in preseason and today.

 

[Brunkmeister]

Yeah another player coming to Arsenal and goes down immediately.

 

[JPBolts]

wonder if him going down right before halftime was a similar issue

 

[hatterson]

Aurier looks like he put on about 30 pounds of the summer. Looks insanely slow.

 

[Blender]

What a run and pass by Elanga.

 

[cgf]

OG-Haaland with the clinical finish

 

[bluesfan94]

Looked like Havertz got wrapped up on that corner. Not sure how that isn’t a foul and pen

Looked like two guys jumping for a ball and head to head contact rather than a foul and penalty. Should have been a stoppage though with the current head contact rules.

 

[King Makar19]

Head injury = stop the play ....VAR useless as Oliver.

Absolute farce.

Partey at RB is awful by Arteta...

Two guys going for the ball and he got lightly bumped on the jaw. It’s never a foul in a million years and it clearly wasn’t a serious head injury to justify stopping the game.

Please explain what you think VAR should have done there.

This might not be wrong but had Havertz rolled around a bit the way players often do with minimal head contact, the play definitely gets stopped.

 

[JPBolts]

a lot of teams going in-game with three CBs and then pushing the other defender up

 

[Evilo]

As slow as Aurier is he's still way faster than Havertz
