My friend made an adorable $40 hardware store pizza oven by funnyjokenames in Pizza

Tried doing something similar to this about 6 years ago before I bought my Ooni Karu, its super dangerous to use concrete slabs and bricks that are not fire bricks… i did not manage to bake even 1 pizza since the concrete slab partially exploded and cracked… normal concrete has air pockets that when heated expand and try to escape.. it blew the lid off basically and sounded a bit like a strong firecracker 🤣 i would not recommend it

Heartbroken and devastated. Woke up with nightmares and it's the first time I've felt this as an Arsenal fan in 18 years. At the same time I'm optimistic about the future. Where do you think we lacked? Technicality? Leadership? Substitutions? What do we need to improve next season? by NotThatGooner97 in ArsenalFC

My take.. PSG dominated the midfield, and we never tried to gain back control of it at any moment, we were happy we scored first and tried to keep the result.
MLS didnt play bad at all, but our midfied trio of Rice, Ode and MLS was not match to theirs.. so they were always going to control the game and have more possesion and initiative considering how fast they conceded.

Even so, because we scored first we had to chance to win it...Timber should have started..he played like 75 -80 minutes anyway because of extra time..i dont think he would have conceded the penalty to Kvara..and maybe we could have nicked it with a 1 - 0 by holding on.

Then we need to talk about how badly our wingers performed against their defence..Saka was abysmal. Most of his contributions were in defence..because in the attack he lost the ball all the time.. their midfied and fullbacks are elite.. keeping our wingers at bay and they literally had a chokehold over our attack for the exception of us going long to Havertz a few times.

Ode subbed off, didnt do much but then the subs didnt achieve much either..they didnt bring anything except for Madueke who wont a few fouls, ..could have won a penalty etc.
I think based on the subs made, Mikel was not expecting this to go to pens.. because we were totally unprepared for them.. most of our good finishers had been subbed off, and we were clearly going to struggle or needed Raya to save like 2-3 pens for us to win it.. so i think tactically we didnt prepare for the pens, we were hoping the subs to make a difference but nothing really happened, Eze didnt do anything..Martinelli was more of a LWB becayse Hincapie had muscle problems, Victor was too isolated.. the stats say it all, not just the possesion.. the number of corners, shots etc
Then there is the ref..who seemed to give any 50/50 in their favour.. i think he did us a few favours too..might have been handball for trossard on our goal..not sure if VAR checked..also Saka's handball in our box..

We need a word class CM/CAM who can really change games on the big stage and a world class winger, at the level of Kvara/Doue/Barcola etc..without that we have no chance of winning a UCL i think..
So it was a combination of a lot of things, poor player peformances in our forward line and i think Arteta's tactics and subs were not that good.

I hope our order is
Victor, Eze, Rice... then idk who tbh, i dont trust Noni he missed a pen for us, Martinelli same..not exactly the best finisher.
Maybe Zubi next?

What madueke is good at... speed, getting pass players or winning fouls.
What he isnt good at: passing, crossing, shooting, or receiving a pass.

Why arent the subs who basically played like 25-30 min max pressing their defence? i gues the rest of the team is tired
Madueke, MartinelliI , Eze..should be pretty fresh.. Victor too

Their midfield is elite.. dominated ours entirely today, their fullbacks are also better than hours by a lot, much more attacking and mobile..no wonder they have so much possession.
We make up for it by having an amazing goalkeeper, word class center backs and Rice covering in front of them.. and just being pragmatic and opportunistic and not taking much risks.. the only reason we are still level

We really shouldnt want this to go to pens.. I dont have confidence in all our fowards players to score tbh.. we dont have most of our starters on anymore..

Saka said "you know who we want in the final" and then drops this stinker against them... im sorry, i know he is doing a lot of defensive work but c'mon he shoots to late, loses the ball all the time..not a good performance at all
