GWT: PL Round 22

[John Pedro]

Holding and Chambers together again. The odds of this working well for Arsenal are pretty slim.

Yikes, was going to come and post this after seeing the starting lineup...if Chelsea doesn't get at least three against us that should be deemed a failure on their part. You see Arsenal's talent and think they can absolutely make it in the top 4, but then you see Wenger's tactics and Arsenal's board which refuse to spend money unfortunately leading to the likes of ****ing Holding and Chambers starting against ****ing Chelsea.

Going into this season I really don't think Arsenal were good enough to make top 4; their squad is simply not as good as the other 5 teams ahead of them at this time. Even if they had added Lemar. Their midfield and defence is extremely poor (relative) and imbalanced, and Cech is also not as good as he was even last season.

 

[Halladay]

I feel Arsenal need to win this game if they have any champions league aspirations for next season.

Their starting front three and fullbacks were good enough. As I've said before I believe fullbacks are the last important players on the field. The rest, obviously not, and they don't have quality depth at any position except ST.

 

[Wee Baby Seamus]

Christ, Morata.

 

[Live in the Now]

That's a horrendous miss. More concerning how he got that chance in the first place.

 

[hatterson]

Morata wasn't even close on that.

 

[hatterson]

That was some GOAT defending by Chambers on that.

 

[Wee Baby Seamus]

Holy f***

 

[spintheblackcircle]

This game is delivering

 

[KJS14]

Sanchez hits BOTH posts. Good hand on it by Courtois.

 

[Wee Baby Seamus]

Brilliant stiff arm from Courtois on Laca

 

[Duchene2MacKinnon]

That's a horrendous miss. More concerning how he got that chance in the first place.

Bellerin and the RIght CB were caught. Bellerin way too far up the pitch and the cb was to central leaving a cows field on the right side.

 

[KJS14]

Bellerin has been so frustrating this year. Looks average in possession, not his best, and he's just been awful in the final third.

 

[Paulie Gualtieri]

Very ugly tackle.

 

[Paulie Gualtieri]

Wow.

 

[Wee Baby Seamus]

I can't even imagine how much better of a side Chelsea would be with an upgrade on Victor Moses. Hazard's instinct to cut inside from the left means he plays it to the RWB pretty often, and a lot of other team's primary offensive force is at LW. If we had a competent RWB we'd look a whole lot better.

 

[Wee Baby Seamus]

Great work from Cesc to get Alexis to shut the f*** up.

What happened to Zappacosta? Is he injured or been just as bad?

 

[Paulie Gualtieri]

He's rather awful.

 

[Wee Baby Seamus]

What happened to Zappacosta? Is he injured or been just as bad?

He's just been super mediocre. Not really an upgrade.

 

[Wee Baby Seamus]

Bakayoko is looking great today, I think this might be the best half he's played for us so far.

 

[Paulie Gualtieri]

Not liking this ref.

 

[Wee Baby Seamus]

Not liking this ref.

Eh, the stupid Fabregas booking just now is the first mistakes he's really made.
