Great game so far. Chelsea looked great early. Brighton have been putting it on for the last 15 mins or so. Two shouts for penalties now for Brighton. On the first, an example of not getting the call cause you don’t go down right on contact.

Predicting Arsenal come away with no better than a draw today, despite already being up a goal

Looking like classic Wengerball right now.

 

[maclean]

Maybe I spoke too soon

 

[booyakasha]

Arsenal up 4 goals inside 21 mins. and all I get from the game is just how abysmal Xhaka is.
Gods honest truth, the worst player I have ever seen put on an Arsenal kit.

Wilshere looking better and better....good to see.

Super Jack's resurgence is the only reason I'm still tuning in games.

 

[booyakasha]

Dichio is 100% correct.
This Arsenal team is making a statement that, Sanchez was trouble, and Arsenal are better off without him.

 

[maclean]

and what was stopping them from making that statement last week?

the cancer was still in the club.

 

[Jussi]

Martial roofs it!

 

[Theon]

Lukaku did great on the buildup.

 

[booyakasha]

c'mon ref, give him the yellow already.

As much as he is right now. Left out for the same reason he's not playing today. I think it's disingenuous to suggest that has anything to do with the difference. This is a bounce-back game, sure, Arsenal often pull those out after a poor showing, as do many teams. Connecting it to Sanchez is a huge leap

 

[Jussi]

Pogba's really selfish today.

I don't think so at all.
Negativity has a big part to play in the mood of a locker room, and how teammates perform with each other.
knowing that his exit is immenent lifts a massive weight off the shoulders, and having to deal with such an attitude.

 

[Power Man]

Mahreeeeeez

 

[Theon]

Important win but this team is incapable of finishing the game off.

 

[Jussi]

Well that was ugly...

I don't disagree with the principle, but his departure was just as imminent last weekend. It was the reason he didn't play.

....also I don't personally buy that Sanchez was such a source of negative emotions as people make out, your team playing like shit will do that by itself, but that's for a whole other argument.

I've played on clubs with players of his demeanor.
a player with his attitude, certainly is a source of negativity.....and changes the complection of how certain team mates perform.
As good as he can be on some nights, .....he won't be missed, trust.

That was the Leicester match all over again. Way too nonchalant. Messing around like it’s training with cute passes on the break.

 

[Duchene2MacKinnon]

Was going to mentioned how Kun was lost today but he ends up scoring lol.

 

[booyakasha]

Cripes! just seeing the images of the McCarthy leg break.
I can see why Rondon was so devestated.

 

[Jersey Fresh]

Sawft penalty called for Sterling.
