Magic Lamps

i wish. moses at least is quick

great save from foster. he is so good at these reflex saves

Reece James still looks so dann rusty cant even catch up with kiko and hughes who are far from quick

willian and barkley combining to derail another promising counter attack

needless freekick by james again. he has been terrible in defence since the restart. goalconceded in 3 2 1

terrible set pieces from us so far as usual.

plus kante was injured a lot and maybe he would have played him instead of jorginho there anyways if he had not been injured and his actual philosophy is more conservative than we though.

dafuq are barkley and azpi doing there terrible fk from giroud

i would rather have rüdiger in the team than barkley who is just pointless. good foul here tho

zouma starts the game off with a completely needless clearance. and watford showed how they gonna play this match already. hoof long balls to deeney and sarr

lol Nigel pearson has lost so much weight since his ostrich rant that he now looks like an ostrich himself with that long ass neck of his

i keep repeating myself but this match will be terrible for sure. both teams are set up very negative. Watford are basically playing 4dms (doucoure and hughes played as winger and no10). only deeney and sarr there to threaten. worked perfectly for watford. the only thing that makes me hopeful is that they have left out some of their best set piece targets rather than our crappy lineup.

i wonder how much he would cost. surely not over 20m... he would be an awesome mid-term signing if we cant sell kepa as he wont command huge wages and could be offloaded easily if we sign a permanent solution.

There is no point in even contesting such matches just hand bayern those worthless trophies already.

as long as there is a Kante-Barkley midfield the opponent can recover pretty comfortably without any dangers of their midfield being skipped easily. no idea what jorginho has done. a player who can play quick passes forward is needed to slice through midfields. Jorginho is not perfect at that but surely better than Kante. this will be an absolute grind. Need some Puli magic to win this cos we sure as hell will not put on a commanding performance like vs Liverpool and Everton before the break with that fucking midfield

Arsenal today delivered a blueprint of how to play Wolves. They usually ease themselves into a match so they are always vulnerable to not even get a footin the game. They set exclusively to hit you on the counter vs posession based teams. So you have to absoluely make sure to get enough people behind the ball when they break. go for the ball early when theirpace players are at the ball tho. Dont overcommit players forward and play quickly around their midfield. when you get beind that you will create chances cos their back three is vulnerableand mediocre footballers at that who will be forced to hoof it in the air when pressed.

lacazette clinches it. great finish again. wolves really exposed today. Arsenal just kept their cool and completely shut wolves out of the game. Mustafi even could handle Traore

You have to say that this Saka kid has a great attitude.you can see his eyes lighting up whenever he gets near the ball and he commits himself in defence as well even if he is still rough and not always makes the right decision. The goal was very difficult and brilliantly taken.

wolves had been terrible until this point, so thorougly deserved.

saka with a brilliant goal. nice play from arsenal.

nice hattrick for him. surely one of the best players in CS for whatever its worth

we should not take the chance of having to win vs wolves. we need them to slip up otherwise they will surely overtake us.

look at Rui patricio for the positioning at the corner. he steps out first so he can see if he can reach the corner then readjusts himself on the goalline and then closes the angle on the near post. That is how you do it. Kepa usually stays rooted on the spot or like last time stupidly comes out without checking whats in front of him

just as it is in wolves hands if they win all their remaining games.

Emi Martinez actually looks a decent goalie so far. decisive, strong reactions and brave.
