Carabao Cup SF Football Thread ** spoilers ** [7th/8th Jan 5th/6th Feb 2025]

Thought JL and Gordon may have gone off being on yellows. Surprised at Willock going off.

Fresh legs probably. We have looked a little leggy and I fully expect Willock to start in the FA cup along with a few other changes.

OUTeta

 

[nemtizz]

Doing well against 12 men tbf

Presume that the gooners haven't had a corner tonight?

 

[Bigpig]

Halls a baller!!

I think that's a good assessment. Improving players is something we didn't see under ten Hag really. Howe has got more out of a lot of players from what I see. Gordon had a rough first half season but now is the sort of player Garnacho should be. Murphy looks decent. Willock and Hall seem solid and you have real physicality with the midfield 3 or 4. Probably need more depth than the Longstaffs, Almiron and Barnes but it's a very good base and they all graft. Would be great to see a trophy for them.

Maybe we might face the Liverpool youth team in the final if we managed to get through

Lol at that not being a freekick to Tonali.

 

[nemtizz]

Take a look at your watch every time you take a corner you lego headed freak

 

[nemtizz]

This ref, man. I'm going to get banned soon.

Can’t wait for Arteta post match interview!

 

[Irish_Tom]

Where did 5 minutes come from?

 

[JamesH85]

Where has he got 5 minutes from!

 

[nemtizz]

5 mins from the time that they wasted is funny.

 

[Ayahuasca]

Honking performance from Arsenal, just knock them out now.

 

[Bigpig]

I said it after the cup tie. Dan Burn is undefeated at corners

Even against Stoke London!!

 

[nemtizz]

Every single set piece and cross they're pushing our players and getting away with it. I bet Wenger is sick to his stomach every time he watches this version of Arsenal.

 

[Irish_Tom]

Well, it was far from pretty and if Arsenal could hit a barn door we might have been in trouble, but overall that was a tidy performance with some great defending.
The ref had an absolute shocker mind.

Can’t wait for Arteta post match interview!

IT’S A DISGRACE

Every single set piece and cross they're pushing our players and getting away with it. I bet Wenger is sick to his stomach every time he watches this version of Arsenal.

Eventually refs will start pulling them up on it and their set piece routine will fall to pieces. Most of their players in the box have zero intention of competing for the ball. They are blocking off defenders and the keeper and making it chaotic so that refs can’t point to an obvious foul easily.

 

[Ayahuasca]

fancy a big arsenal win tonight

Was Jesus playing tonight ?
