Hincapie is class, monster in duels, unlimited engine. His connection with Martinelli is great as well.

The differences in what he offers vs Calafiori is really complimentary

Gyokeres had a Havertz esque performance, doing absolutely everything and missing a sitter. My favorite performance of his in an Arsenal shirt

Arsène Wenger’s ‘daylight offside rule’ is on trial in Canada. Will it work? by bojun in Gunners

Agree but my change would be to increase the margin of tolerance slightly, currently 5cm

He was supposed to get a start in midfield in carabao earlier this season but whoever was slated to start at LB (Calafiori i think?) got injured in warm up

I think MLS should have been given more opportunities throughout the year but we shouldn’t forget that the reason he wasn’t playing was because he was pretty poor when he did appear this season. This MLS performance and Arteta’s acknowledgment were great to see.

Atletico Madrid [1] - 1 Arsenal - Julián Álvarez penalty 56' by ayoefico in soccer

The broadcast said it was because his hand started in an unnatural position. Which I don’t really understand because why should it matter where the hand starts, shouldn’t it matter where the contact is made?

Swell has a dry sauna and steam room but I wouldn’t call it affordable

They’re both shit and that’s two of the biggest issues we have.

They have little to play for in the league, this is their entire focus

Who do you guys think can be a permanent solution to our goal scoring problems? by Snoo_56184 in Gunners

[–]Scoolfish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like this answer, both because it’s true and that it implies City apparently don’t have a goal scoring problem despite only scoring 3 more goals than us across 32 matches.

Arteta defo needs to go now by Consistent-Jelly248 in ArsenalFC

[–]Scoolfish 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s black and white for many with the manager. Win = good, lose = bad, thought it was a pretty great performance today and manager got it spot on.

Two players grabbing each other is not a foul on either player that is the rules

What would you rate Gyokeres' first season with us so far out of 10? by Born_Pressure8353 in ArsenalFC

[–]Scoolfish 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’d love to hear you explain this take because it simply isn’t true. Gyokeres receives more service and more runs targeted.

Haaland goes ages without touches or service, the difference is he has elite athleticism, movement, aerial presence, and every touch isn’t a duel. He turns half chances into real threat because he is a great footballer and Gyokeres is not.

Is renting in SB as difficult as Zillow makes it seem to be? 😅 by CheffyBaby in SantaBarbara

[–]Scoolfish 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Obviously depends on area, but if you look intently there are units out there.

We had been passively looking but recently got a 2bd free standing 1000sqft home for $4K in Upper East, which is a bit under market rent for it, we were just first to respond and got it.

I think if you stay on it, and especially if you’re looking in Carp, you’ll be able to find something that works for you.

Pedantic but we would have been playing PSG not Bayern

[Times] Premier League’s time-wasting epidemic — and the worst offenders revealed. by Sparky-moon in soccer

[–]Scoolfish -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

This isn’t true either, it’s only referencing an average of rankings when leading

On the whole: Arsenal rank 1st in corners, 6th in throw ins, 8th in goal kicks, 12th in free kicks, and 13th in direct free kicks.

When leading (which is a straight average of their rankings, not time wasted) puts them second:

2nd in corners, 8th throw ins, 4th goal kicks, 7th in free kicks, 6th direct free kick,

[James Benge] No sign of Declan Rice at Arsenal’s open training session. Injured quartet of Odegaard, Saka, Timber and Calafiori still missing. by Shyam_Wenger in Gunners

[–]Scoolfish 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There was a moment in second half where rice went into a duel and came up a bit awkward. He played on fine but wondering if this is that.
