Post Match EPL Arsenal (A) 0-0 January 8th 20:00

It does worry me that Kerkez is as defensively one footed as Gakpo is offensively (yes yes different foot) but he seems to make it work
 
Well - that was actually competitive.

Absolutely woeful and toothless up front and slow on the ball as usual but .....

Resilient in the first half and pretty much dominated in the midfield second half. I'd give us a 7/10 for that one
Upfront is no surprise (no Isak, Eki, Mo.) but this Arsenal have dominated the league so far this season. That was an 8/10 when you consider the first half (even then Arsenal didn't have one serious shot that tested Ali the whole match).
 
They're gonna walk the league and they're fucking shit. Unforgivable for what the management have presided over this season. This was a real chance to build upon success and win 2,3,4 leagues on the bounce. Instead, we're scrambling around with Brentford.
 
Loads of good performances today. Really pleased for Kerkez and Macca who looked on today. We played them off the park in the 2nd half.

Regarding the no subs I can understand it as we had full control and there was no need to disrupt our set up. But a Rio for Gakpo sub made sense.

In the end, excellent
 
Missed the fact he was a quashy left back for the majority of the match and drew several fouls that relieved pressure throughout did you?
No. I just like my attackers to pass the ball and not look completely fucking lost in possession

Well well well.

The pre game thread was littered with comments about being humiliated, bummed, destroyed and phoning in a performance.

We started out like any team away to a top of the table side. Keep the crowd quiet for the first 20 which we did.

Our defensive shape was exceptional and we grew into the first half from there.

Should have been leading at the break after some beautiful play through their press on multiple occasions.

The second half was virtually complete domination away to Arsenal with 69% possession. Remember everyone said we wouldn’t have the ball?

We were composed, brave and intelligent on the ball. Very rarely took the safe option and played some fucking magical one touch football to keep the ball and create opening.

Only twice this season in 30 games Arsenal have failed to score, both against us.

They didn’t have a shot at all until stoppage time in the second half and on another day one of Dom 4 or 5 strikes would have gone in.

I do wish Frimpong shot or found Wirtz with that opportunity but all things considered that was an incredible second half display.

Does it mean we’ve turned the corner no.
Does it mean we’ll get up to third or second no.
Does it mean Slot is safe or doing enough no.

What it does show is that he’s a hell of lot better than most give him credit for and this team is slowly gelling and their is a chink of light at the end of the tunnel.

It also tells me my inkling that we can win the CL with a bit of luck is spot on. We can match anyone on our day.

And all of that without:

Isak
Hugo
Salah

Get them back for the run in and we can hurt anyone in Europe.

@Modo how’s that humble pie?

you must’ve missed my post where we won by 3 and linda got her tits out
 
Oh and 10 unbeaten in all comps now and extending the longest unbeaten run in the league.

A huge turn around from losing 9 in 12 but of course Slot will get little credit for that.
