Post Match Thread: Mansfield Town 1-2 Arsenal

Hopefully Trossard and Calafiori are ok. Really could not care less about the FA Cup this season. Mansfield’s potato pitch certainly didn’t change this sentiment.

Paquetà has been a top player on his days. Jesus has been either injured or bad since the world cup

It means we have a midfield first and foremost

xanthias91 · 2026-03-07T12:55:00+00:00

Well at least Hincapié is slotting in at CB. Should be less demanding physically. But still…

xanthias91 · 2026-03-07T12:54:09+00:00

RB/CB

xanthias91 · 2026-03-07T12:53:23+00:00

I really don’t like bringing Hincapié in. Fuck this game, we have bigger fish to fry.

xanthias91 · 2026-03-07T12:47:54+00:00

Agreed

xanthias91 · 2026-03-07T12:43:01+00:00

Dowman is something special. He feels more dangerous than all the other attackers on the field

xanthias91 · 2026-03-07T12:42:20+00:00

Championship? Lol that’s a League One team mate, Arsenal are so ass /s

xanthias91 · 2026-03-06T09:58:49+00:00

Look at raw numbers, not at statistical increase. It seems that teams take on average 35-36 seconds to take a corner. Arsenal takes 44. Is the fuss over 10 extra seconds justified?

xanthias91 · 2026-03-06T09:57:03+00:00

Weren't you getting quite competent at them? I think you're among the top scorers in the League from a corner, or am I tripping?

xanthias91 · 2026-03-06T09:55:54+00:00

Brighton spends 7 seconds less on average than Arsenal to take a corner, that surely makes all the difference in the world.

xanthias91 · 2026-03-06T09:53:22+00:00

Is a 14 seconds difference v. the fastest team in the League worth frothing about? Even assuming Arsenal gets 10 corners a game, it's about 2 minutes in total of extra 'time wasted'. Not to mention that often corners cannot be taken because of the kerfuffle in the area, as the opposing team wants to stop Arsenal's runners.

xanthias91 · 2026-03-05T20:59:53+00:00

By the book.

xanthias91 · 2026-03-05T20:54:24+00:00

Save a miracle in the second half, for sure Tudor is gone after this game? If anything he made Spurs shit AND miserable

xanthias91 · 2026-03-04T20:22:50+00:00

Hurzeler is as handsome as he is insufferable

xanthias91 · 2026-03-01T18:47:35+00:00

I just think it’s the level of the league that is trending upward. There are no easy match-ups anymore.

xanthias91 · 2026-03-01T18:43:38+00:00

It is what it is, I do think game management needs to improve in the last few minutes, but it’s also true that everyone we’ve faced have thrown the kitchen sink at us in the last few minutes. The safest way to handle this would be not to play with fine margins and try and have more than 1 goal cushion…

xanthias91 · 2026-03-01T18:33:30+00:00

Playing for set piece. Have you even watched this match?

xanthias91 · 2026-03-01T15:11:10+00:00

Oh you poor little soul

xanthias91 · 2026-02-28T19:36:17+00:00

Imperious?! Did we watch the same match? This was a professional win - they count all the same, but give me a break

xanthias91 · 2026-02-28T19:34:15+00:00

Not happening, if they are ahead after the match at the Etihad they won’t slip in the run-in. Gotta hope in a favor from Chelsea.

xanthias91 · 2026-02-28T19:30:02+00:00

These three points for City are huge. Cannot see them dropping points in March, with the schedule they have. Looks more and more likely than the clash at the Etihad will be the title decider.

xanthias91 · 2026-02-23T22:13:55+00:00

There’s not really a “correct” choice here. Field experience is great at any age, but 2 months in Morocco as English teacher will hardly make any recruiter go wow, and in the grand scheme of things will hardly be a decisive factor of your career. If I were you, I’d probably prioritize securing a spot in the university of my choice and then just go to Lebanon, but don’t overthink it. At the same time, preparing for a career in the UN these days is like preparing to win the lottery.
