Except for a few shaky moments, Burn was quality up against Saka tonight. Willock worked his balls off to stop Odegaard and Trippier was his usual imperious self against Martinelli. Hopefully, by the time Palace rolls around, Isak is back and we’ve got a new central midfielder to ease some of the pressure and game time on this bunch.

Just a shame that 75% of our attack is the wrong kind of mental

Same goes for Wood. I think I’d rather take a chance on the big mackem

Must be some winger we can get for fairly cheap from another Premier League side who’d be a better option than Murphy ffs

Joelinton penalised for winning a header there

All of this “I’ve got cramp” routine cost us against Liverpool. We’d do well to remember that. We’re playing the leaders, they’ll get as much time as they need to score

That cross from Murphy cunt thinks he’s playing Rocket League

Get Lascelles on for Longstaff. Dubravka on for Willock.

Saliba and Gabriel have outmuscled Wilson all day so you want to bring on a winger up front

Finally, the younger Madley steps into his older brothers fucking shitty shoes after his derby embarrassment

That Saliba is a quality centre half like. Keeping Wilson quiet by himself

We’re doing a good job at cutting the supply off to Odegaard and Saka tbf. Helps that we’ve been canny cynical with Saka when he tries to break as well

Tbf, if Arsenal want a scrap, I think I’m betting on Joelinton and Botman over Ace of Base and Xhaka

If these come out still raging, we could well shithouse a 1-0 here. The ref being card happy and sending them off the deep end has ruined their good start

That only works if the fouls have actually been yellows and the game is getting niggly. Arsenal played for a couple of soft bookings, we’ve responded in turn, they can’t hack it and now he has to stay with the precedent he’s set. All of his own doing by being a useless gullible cunt

Another ref who has completely lost control of a match in the first half What are they teaching this lot?

That is NEVER a foul from Almiron

Set the precedent, he should be booking every cunt for anything now. It’ll be forgotten by half time though

Joelinton with a concussion is still pressing and covering better than Saint-Maximin would

Hope Joelinton is ok after that. White hasn’t delivered a blow like that since he went dogging

Can’t believe Howe actually had to come out and pour water on that Ronaldo shite

They’re masters at coming out of January windows in worse shape like. Even when they buy players, they bought Will Grigg and nearly bankrupted the entire enterprise

Will be a tight game this. Didn’t say it for Leeds and look how that turned out

Not a hint of flag from the linesman there

VAR will have a hard job in the second half as they desperately try to get Liverpool back into it
