Essential The Official Football (Soccer) Thread - We are SO back, the Premier League returns!

[EA]

The first half was nervy as hell but I expect us to have some more energy in the second half. I think we need Martinelli on to balance out our attack because we’re getting nothing going down the left hand side. Jesus has been linking up well with White but him being out wide is killing us when it comes to crossing/cutting back.

I hope Arteta brings on Martinelli and Partey for Eddie and Jorginho (although he’s actually been decent). That should give us the bite we need

This has not really been a high quality match.

The earlier games took up all the quality

Arteta reads TheColi.

Oh wait, Eddie is still on.

 

[SubZeroDegrees]

Martinelli in.

Pep really hates Kalvin Phillips

More Nketiah

 

[ThrobbingHood]

Started much much better this half. They’re there for the taking. No excuses. The only way we lose this is if we shoot ourselves in the foot.

 

[Regular Developer]

Finally a shot on target

 

[jj23]

Trossard and Jesus link we'll together.



Man isolated them from each other all first half and has now left Nketiah on and taken off Trossard.



Speechless

Pep really hates Kalvin Phillips

He's just there to make up the English player requirements

 

[TobiOT]

Pep really hates Kalvin Phillips

When Pep see's him in training.

 

[Nero Christ]

Jesus shoulda made the pass to Nketiah

 

[SCORCH]

Hilarious that Rico Lewis at 18/19 is a better footballer than Kovacic has ever been.

 

[ThrobbingHood]

Can’t remember the last time Pep made three subs at once. This feels ominous.

 

[Ohene]

other than the early shakiness, arsenal has actually kinda dominated
shame if they dont win
