robsblubot 3,595 Posted October 21, 2023 Share Posted October 21, 2023 (edited) You can say the first goal was gifted (it was a silly PK to give), and I think it was. The second was clearly a fluke, but you can only get lucky like that if you put yourself in that position, so good work by Mudryk on the overlap and dangerous cross. Their first was gifted as well. And their second was a bit down to Gusto's inexperience, imo. By that time we had lost control of the match tho. The PK discussion is silly. You can disagree with the rule, but the ref has no choice but to give it. Edited October 22, 2023 by robsblubot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strike 7,489 Posted October 21, 2023 Share Posted October 21, 2023 Lost for words. Feels like ages ago we had a meaningful win. Arsenal created nothing till that brain fade from the keeper Stats and laura90 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magic Lamps 11,692 Posted October 21, 2023 Share Posted October 21, 2023 I am not even that shocked bc I never expected us to win a big match with this group - inexperienced, naive and ravaged by injuries, even 2-0 up. Even though Arsenal never looked threatening we were never comfortable. Sanchez missed about every punch and was terrible all game, one time chasing saka down to the corner flag, then bumping into our own defenders. Not his first erratic game. He was always gonna cost us again. Then Caicedo, who rightly should get praised for dominating Jorginho and rice but he also has a handful of turnovers every bloody game. All went unpunished today but two where very close to our box. He has to stop those. He is noweher near a 120m player but has shown some promise, no excuse not to cut the crap. robsblubot and laura90 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robsblubot 3,595 Posted October 21, 2023 Share Posted October 21, 2023 (edited) I see xG at 1.36 (1 big chance missed Plamer or Jackson?) for us and 1.06 for them. Of course, circumstances affect that (chasing a result + counter attacks). They had 7 corners vs the 2 we got. Interesting that they did not manage to have a lot of possession, only 57%, which is a big part of their game. Suppose the team did a good job disrupting their play esp in the first half.

ZAPHOD2319 4,818 Posted October 21, 2023 Share Posted October 21, 2023 I caught 15lbs of shrimp with my son while watching on my phone. Sanchez has one of those every game. He paid for it today. That play turned the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cosmicway 1,333 Posted October 21, 2023 Share Posted October 21, 2023 It does n't make sense to sub Sanchez for this as long as Poch does n't prohibit keepers from playing pass game. Everyone is gifting those giveaways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were tactically excellent. All their chances came from stupid mistakes from our sides while we carved them open a lot. They did not really create anything apart from that 2nd goal. All their possession was trash, we completely waltzed them in midfield. With either a proper striker or goalkeeper we win this comfortably.

MoroccanBlue 5,382 Posted October 21, 2023 Share Posted October 21, 2023 Arsenal called it a day. We genuinely needed to keep our discipline as Arsenal were jogging about after the 70th minute. Football is all about momentum, and Sanchez, under zero pressure, decided to bring Arsenal back to life. They seized Sanchez’s gift. It was sabotage. We will always be a ‘what if’ team until this complacency and naivety is gone. laura90 and DDA 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post! Fulham Broadway 17,313 Posted October 21, 2023 Popular Post! Share Posted October 21, 2023 Just watched again so 2-0 up we had the Palmer chance where the goon keeper gave it to him, and the Jackson one on one where to his credit, or not he didnt go down. Lessons will be learned and we will be more ruthless. Ddefinitely room for optimism despite the result.

DH1988 1,348 Posted October 22, 2023 Share Posted October 22, 2023 So frustrating, still this morning, we bosses that game until inviting pressure via the mistake, Arsenal were out of ideas entirely, well done to Poch and team, tactically. Yesterday showed our glaring weaknesses again, GK and ST. Those that came on in NJ and Noni, my word, look in the mirror this morning, especially Noni, or give up and go on loan to 10 clubs like CHO. Really disappointed since he was dropped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post! Thor 2,703 Posted October 22, 2023 Popular Post! Share Posted October 22, 2023 I was at the game yesterday. What an experience! I was super impressed but at the same time bummed we gave it up. We completely outclassed them. I know we can talk moral victories and all that, but they are the best team or second best team out at the moment and we thoroughly outplayed them the majority of that game even with all our injuries. We are a young team and you could sense inexperience and nervousness set in as they got one back. It will happen, but we are clearly making strides - which is important. This team can be very good on it’s day and put it together - which is exactly what a young team is. Cucu, Conor, Enzo and Thiago were standouts for me. Palmer plays some wonderful balls. Mudryk screams a player who once he gets rolling he will become something great. Still looks a little afraid to be himself and try things. Gusto was impressive for a large chunk then had some mistakes. I’ll say again but Conor has really won me over. Added class and poise to his game. Becoming my favourite player. We really should have had about 6 goals from that but - we are getting there. Palmer could have slotted that shot that went just wide. Should have put the interception away. Levi had an open header… Jackson has to hit some shots earlier too. Great game to go to. Super chuffed. No win - but you can see us turning it around. Have patience. We are young and this was a naive performance if to put it no other way. Strike, Fulham Broadway, Norfolkblue1961 and 2 others 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Laylabelle 9,535 Posted October 22, 2023 Share Posted October 22, 2023 Feels like a loss and could've given them their first loss this season too...but least we didn't compleltly throw it all away I guess....hopefully can take something from this going forward!

cosmicway 1,333 Posted October 22, 2023 Share Posted October 22, 2023 (edited) This thing happens with the goalie mistakes: They try to make a clever pass instead of just clearing the ball. But while the opposite attackers are pressurising, his players are trying to find free spaces - they 're not playing man to man. So it becomes disastrous - like with Mendy against Real Madrid. Arsenal just escaped when they made the same error but we did n't and it's different when a defender other than the goalkeeper makes the mistake. When it is another defender who flufs his lines, we have the Gerrard slip situations but usually there is some cover. Poch must prohibit this when there is pressure, at the expense of perhaps missing some good occasions to move the ball downfield. But for Sanchez it was of course even more totally unacceptable because we were 2-0 up fifteen minutes from time and we had no reason whatsoever to hurry. I noted this before.
