Guess they'll find out now.

Arsenal looked massively improved this half.

 

[explicit4u]

Haha nice to be the benefactor of an absolute sucker punch for once.

Looking much better this half, our fitness is shocking.

 

[maun]

How do you get 6 months in to a season and have such poor fitness?

 

[The_One]

Scared to book xhaka

 

[robfosters]

How the **** has Xhaka not got a yellow yet?

 

[el_dazza]

How the **** has Xhaka not got a yellow yet?

I was just about to say the same!

 

[explicit4u]

Xhaka might as well start two footing leeds players, complete immunity

 

[The_One]

That should be a pen!

Blame Emery for that, one thing Arteta has proven since he came back is that our players are so so out of shape but he’s hammering them to get their fitness levels back to what he wants.
And he’s made it very clear that any player that doesn’t buy into his philosophy can go do one and rightly so.

That must be some bad training methods if the players are that unfit?

Entirely plausible though, saw it with Southampton recently prior to Hassenhuttel joining, the team just looked dead on their feet by 60 minutes having not really put in much effort.

Now we're getting back closer to maintaining intensity for a full 90 as we did back with Poch and Koeman.

 

[Yas786]

I can’t tell the difference between Guendozi and Luiz lol.

Fair enough, makes you wonder how these managers get jobs if their training methods seriously hamper fitness levels and such things.

Unbelievable luck today, ref/officials are absolute garbage

Hope Leeds have an option to buy on this keeper, looks a real talent.

 

[Maundie]

Not sure how they can say that wasn't an off the ball kick out then

 

[Flaevius]

Martinelli is as sharp as a tack.

Don't personally want to see red cards handed out for small-time petulance like Lacazette there, but Son was sent off after a VAR check recently for something little different.

Other than the fact Xhaka has escaped carding, I quite enjoy the way this is being refereed. Makes a healthy change from a freekick given for every sneeze.

Guess because it wasn’t studs shown? Not sure, to me it’s a red.

 

[Yas786]

Martinelli is pretty damn good, impressed by him tonight.
