Martinelli and Jesus struggling. Brazilian players fall off so quickly, only a few I recall who’ve had longevity careers and consistently maintained their level.
The few being Dunga, Cafu and Danny Welbeck?
Arsenal 1-0 one call stadium
Jesus is actually useless. Always looks terrible, unless we’re 3-0 up and he comes on to pop in a 4th.
Dowman is class but he’s probably holding on to the ball a bit too long, and he should have scored from the chances he’s had. Positive signs for the youngster overall
Should be called “Uncool Stadium”. It’s all wonky. The pitch is on a slope, that weird separate seating area in the away end that’s been bugging me for 92 minutes and the stand opposite the cameras has a roof that sags in the middle.
Thiago Silva, Dani Alves and Marcelo outside of PL. in PL, Becker and Firmino. And ofcourse Danny Welbeck. Can also count Thiago Silva for Chelsea.
Arteta should ask Jesus and Havertz if they’re comfortable to continue in this pitch in the second half.
I would’ve been more cynical about it but I genuinely can’t blame them phasing out of the game in first half and trying not to engage too much.
Bit irresponsible we even started them here seeing the actual state of this pitch.
Jus5 bring on Harriman Annous and be done wjth it
Madueke’s goal
I’d bring Gyokeres and Eze on for Jesus and Havertz.
This is the type of pitch Gyokeres was playing in every other week before Arsenal.
They’re just so boring

Too much faffing about, too many tricks on a peat bog of a playing surface and a failure to do simple things like finding a team-mate with your passing.
And 3 at the back. Please never do that again.
Salmon’s looked good, Kepa has been good and Hincape has restored calm at the back.
Damn, sounds they’re playing on muddy farmland.
Aren’t you asleep?
Woke up to piss. Might as well watch the rest of the game.
How bad is the Trossard injury?
Didn’t look serious
Haven’t read a twitter analysis of the injury yet so unsure. Seemed like nothing mind.
Nigel looks a lot more like his dad these days.
Honestly, seemed like he had enough of that pitch and called it a day. ![]()
