Greenlizard0 Weekend Football Thread ** spoilers ** [2nd - 6th November 2018]

[opethdisciple]

No one can say Emery is not doing a good job. We are a very different side than we have been int he last 5 years.

Competitive, bottle, spirit, fight, tight at the back, organised etc...

 

[opethdisciple]

For once I agree entirely with you.

At least we didn’t get blown away like certain pundits like Souness and Merson were predicting,

Merson is a melon. Has nothing positive to say about Arsenal.

 

[Combat Fighter]

Merson is a melon. Has nothing positive to say about Arsenal.

Agreed.

100% bell end.

 

[BaZ87]

Didn't play particularly well and on the balance of play a draw was probably fair but we could and should have won. The offside decision in the first half was such an easy decision but the lino is miles out of position and just guesses. We didn't have much choice with the injuries to Ox, Hendo and Keita but Fabinho isn't ready for the biggest games - he's going to need time to get used to the pace of the game and it showed today.

Two top keepers doing their thing today.

Are you suggesting Alisson was at fault for their goal? He absolutely had to come out or Lacazette had a simple one on one

 

[Yas786]

well happy with that

were definitely a different animal this season under emery his substitution always seem to be on point

brings on iwobi and Welbeck literally couple of minutes later there play leads to laca's goal

How good is torreria

Agreed, we look so different to the last few seasons under Wenger and I’m liking it very much.

Torreira is an absolute animal of a player .

I’m happy with the draw, I did say before the game that I would be pleased with a draw at the very least.

Just relieved that we didn’t concede a last min goal.

Just got to keep this awesome run going.

 

[McBain]

Agreed.

100% bell end.

To be fair he's probably half cooked the majority of the time.

It's like Alan Brazil on Talksport you have to take everything he says with a pinch of salt because you just know he's been on the ale.

 

[Kerplunk]

Good game, enjoyed that

 

[Somnambulist]

Not looking hopelessly fragile is a good look. Should have put some of those first-half chances away though. <3 Torreira.

 

[The_One]

is poch about to come on 2nd half?

why the hell does he have football boots on

Thing is, it’s not like the game would have gone exactly the same if the goal had been given. No one knows what would have happened had they been given the goal, Arsenal might have kicked in and scored a couple. It’s just what ifs.

A draw was the right result. There’s no should have won about it.

That might be a reasonable argument if we're talking about a small decision but a wrongly disallowed goal, a red card or a penalty are not small decisions, they make massive material differences to the outcome of the game. I said that on the balance of play that a draw was the fair result but balance of play counts for ****.

Obviously had Arsenal not benefited from 3 terrible decisions in 3 consecutive league games you might think differently.

 

[trigg_27]

Pretty happy with that result, I'd have definitely taken a draw before the game.

I'm not convinced that Liverpool's offside goal was actually offside but I guess I'll have to watch the replays later

 

[explicit4u]

Wolves score a perfectly good goal and it’s ruled out for offside, we need VAR in the PL ASAP.

 

[BaZ87]

Now Spurs benefitting from another terrible offside decision. Again, that wasn't difficult at all.

I give you the offside goal but if Leno on Dijk (I think) is a pen then so was Alisson.

 

[sprite1275]

Bring VAR in and Liverpool will win the prem. Done.

 

[BaZ87]

I give you the offside goal but if Leno on Dijk (I think) is a pen then so was Alisson.

Huh? I was talking about the Lacazette handball vs Palace and the clearest handball/penalty decision that wasn't given vs Leicester.

 

[explicit4u]

Not sure how spurs hare winning thiss 3-0, wolves have been very good while i've been watching.

There we go, 1-3 wolves pen.

 

[robfosters]

Wow, that poor little sods having a mare!

 

[explicit4u]

2-3 Spurs shooting themselves in the foot, the youngster giving away another pen.
