lovely from graveyboat, shame he didnt score

 

[Calpol]

I'm getting increasingly frustrated by Hojlund's inability to do anything correctly. I know he doesn't get much service but he could be working harder and needs to really work on his first touch. We need more from him even if it's just some more movement.

Just tuned in, is the xg reflective of the game? Pool should be 1 up?

Nah, pretty even and United have probably had the best chance

 

[Mark1989]

We’re woeful at the moment

 

[shaf]

Hojlund needs to hold the ball better

It looks like we've come out expecting to walk through them and we're not. We just need to slow it down and play a bit of keep ball in their half for a while

 

[C Kent]

Final pass is very slow/off for us so far really, should have done a lot better on numerous occasions

 

[manic111]

Gravenberch is lethal on the half turn, rolls people for fun

 

[manic111]

That should be a yellow, surely? Nudging the ball away?

It's a ridiculous rule, but everyone else gets booked for it

 

[omnomnom]

Hojlund taps the ball away. Different laws today guys

Arsenal twitters loading it up as we speak.

Best first touch he's had today

 

[Tombstone]

Much too slow from us, we can play so much faster than this , too much sideways slow passes at the moment instead of rapid penetrating runs at Utds defence

I actually think the opposite. Every time we get it we're trying to get forward fast and we're losing the ball. Just need to slow it up for a few mins

 

[Purdy]

No Gary, it’s because the ball went out you rat

 

[nemtizz]

Awful game, should have been called off

 

[Purdy]

That’s twice Alisson could’ve had the ball and backed off

Not punished thankfully but could’ve had it

 

[manic111]

We all know that Jota's going to come on at about an hour and score 10 minutes later, can't we just make the change now instead?

 

[nemtizz]

Why's the greedy rodent not taking a touch there
