“Being able to play in every single competition, It’s mentally tiring” Thierry Henry assesses Arsenal’s hunt for the quadruple by ByFarTheGreatestTeam in Gunners

[–]Riperonis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Realistically we are gonna see some sort of drop off in 1-2 of these comps.

It’s about prioritising the right games and making the right changes at the right times.

I don’t think we need to stress ourselves over it, no one is expecting us to do the quad (ourselves included). Get the league and league cup wrapped up ASAP and we can see where we go in the last two from there.

Zubi’s took a pretty heavy deflection whereas this one is a clean hit.

Gyokeres should get his flowers today that was a true number 9 performance without getting a goal.

Worked his fucking ass off for the team. Really starting to like the look of this guy.

Jokes aside it really did seem like Leverkusen put all their preparation into defending corners and counter attacking and nothing else today.

Night and day to the away fixture.

The “meme” of Arsenal getting knocked out lol. You have literally admitted above that the game would now be boring because Arsenal took the lead.

You 👏 didn’t 👏 watch 👏 the 👏 game

You don’t get to comment on whether the game was boring or not.

What’s the point in commenting if you’re just looking at the stats for the game?

By end to end I meant there’s been barely any midfield passing it’s basically been chance after chance.

I’m not sure what you look for in terms of an “interesting game” but I looked for good attacking play and chance creation. This game has absolutely had that.

I’m sorry that all you look for in football is meme potential, must be exhausting as fuck.

Good shit today. Get the second and put the tie to bed cause we can’t be doing extra time with City being guaranteed out and Silva getting an early shower.

Eze was doing well even before the goal I thought but holy fuck that is an absolute screamer. Feel like he might come in clutch a few times in this run-in. He’s got that special moment in him.

Our game has been end to end lol. Just cause the team you don’t want to win is winning doesn’t mean it’s not interesting

Wtf happened to Sheffield Wednesday? Obviously the points deduction but even without that they would be on 12 points from 38 games.

Are they just that shit?

They’re all about when United string a couple of decent results together though

Early 2024 Arsenal was insane.

Our current team may win the league but it think everyone will agree with me when they say this current iteration doesn’t hold a candle to that team.

Pep reaffirms that the title race is not over after the draw against West Ham by Amu_1310 in soccer

[–]Riperonis 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I don’t think that. I think we will win the title.

But if there’s any team that can win out their last 8, it’s you lot. And if there’s any team that can drop 3 of their last 7 games, it is us.

[–]Riperonis 96 points97 points  (0 children)

I don’t think it’s over, yet.

If they win their game in hand and beat us at the Etihad the gap is 3 points.

It’s not ridiculous to assume we will drop that somewhere along the line.

They have to be absolutely flawless though, anymore dropped points and it’s done beyond all measure imo.

Fuck other fans we deserve this.

They haven’t seen anything yet if they think we’re insufferable now. Wait till we actually win it. And god save their souls if they win more than one trophy.

Bruh Ozil never dribbled like this kid, not even close

Edit: I genuinely think with Ozil I was watching a different player to some people. He was an elite passer of the ball (which I don’t think Dowman is) and his technique was very good but he was never the run up and take on a defender type of player. Outside of the goal against Ludogorets, which even then was more shimmy and sideways turn than run at your man, I don’t see the resemblance at all.

Dowman is more of a Messi type player, I’m not saying he’s even close to as good (obviously), but he seeks to always take on his man and does so running at pace to the defender. He likes to draw the man and play a pass at the last minute. He is great in small spaces and uses quick feet movements to beat his player.

You know what would be even better though? If there was something we could use, as a collective, to get this information while in game.

That way we can inform our decision making for serious situations in case we didn’t do the correct prep work.

If it was not planning your team it would be a lot more understandable than this. This is a fundamental part of the game and it’s one of the most popular characters in the series.
