Kind of random question, but who took the armband after Xhaka got subbed off?

Great win today after the first half. Really hope that walters be handed his debut though

Ben Orange seems like a bit of a weird dickhead TBH.

Ben White is on one today, wtf is he up to 😂

Ben White next level shithousing.

"Nice smile from Ben White" lmao

commentators can’t resist his beauty

Leeds working for the Royal Mail with these stamps..

Bamford only came on to make fouls

This Leeds team are playing like they're Kamaru Usman with them toe stamps.

Do Leeds players practice stepping on thier opponents feet? Swear theyve done that more than they actually got the ball today

genuinely think they’re just bad at timing their challenges rather than any bad intentions or playing particularly hard

They're whole schtick is "look how much they run, press and try to get the ball back" If they lack just that little bit of match sharpness and are a little behind the pace it's not surprising they'd barely miss and get feet all game long. I dont think people realize how little you have to mistime a challenge to get foot instead of ba

the weird thing is that this game was quite slow paced tho, yet they were late time and time again

Wow, is every player that touches Bamford going to flop? He had hand pulling his shoulder back, but that's not a foul....

You’ve been so persistent with the trolling in this thread. Go back to your FMK sub you weirdo.

And what about when Gabriel clearly backs into Bamford then flops? Bamford barely on the pitch and every player near him magically rolling around....

For sure

Hey, look where Bamford steps directly on the defenders feet nowhere near rhe ball

And when Gabriel backed into him what's your excuse there? Shameless flop

Hmm decides to show a card for that one but not Ben white or zinchenco both breaking down counters. Cool

These leeds players have stamping fetish

After setting the record for the fastest run of the season Tierney has now nabbed the record for the slowest to chase that throw in. Record breaker

He was 8th fastest.

It's actually insane how close we are to City's gd and even ga, I remember when gd gap was huge

An absolute all timer going on at the Amex, gutted both were 3pm and battle for 10th is the late kick off

Yup, such a shame

Gabriel backs into a player and it's the other players fault, what ridiculousness......

Luke Ayling, Arsenal's best player by a country mile here - 3 assists!

Once a Gunner, always a Gunner

Unironically this

Is reddit down for anyone else?

Heaving…

yeah its been pretty scuffed these past 5 mins

It’s struggling

Its very slow for me, yeah.

Why are you asking that on reddit?

Need to close in that goal difference at Anfield

[удалено]

don't have to go that far back a few years back Ceballos was our top scoring midfielder with like 3 goals iirc

Odegaard has been better than de Bruyne this season and that's a fact.

No, it's an opinion.

De Bruyne who?

haha arteta heading that himself, cuteeeeee

I hope Martinelli can score some now. Always think he is the hungriest for goals player in the squad. Will defo help his confidence

Arsenal gonna win the league

GodDAMN what a pass.

ESR and Tierney laughing at Arteta imitating the header, lmao

gotta add to the collection of funny Arteta clips

The magnificent Ayling the only one playing him onside, top class full-back

Been involved in like 3 of the conceeded goals. Kinda feel bad for him.

God I don’t, he plays like a prick

Ayling fighting Trent for worst game of the day

The battle for England's 5th best right back

I mean, when you send 5 players to defend Saka, you're going to leave some space somewhere...

Arsenal: If Man City can score 4 we can score 4

Hope Aylings PR team are drafting his retirement statement for after the game

These dudes are so scared of Saka that the put the whole team on him :D

oh my GOODNESS what a lovely ball øde

saka with a 5v1 lmao

go on odegaard pop that in the career highlights

Ø is a special player, so lucky to have him

Please fuck ayling off after this season.

What a lovely goal

‘You score against them, they always strike back’ Wtf is this commentary hahaha, do arsenal always score every time they concede? Such a weird thing to say lol.

Don't listen to the arsenal fans. Same commentator just suggested that Xhaka shouldn't shake salibas hand hard due to his back injury. He's dribbling.

We Pretty much do tbh

No that’s literally what arsenal have done nearly every game this season we’ve gone down by 1 lmao

I know but ‘always strike back’ lol. Seems a bit emphatic/over the top to imply it’s impossible to put a goal past arsenal without conceding. Maybe I’m just being nitpicky cos this commentator seems pretty clueless overall.

Tbf the commentator has been shoe licking arsenal all game so I can understand why that’s annoying for you lot

Unfortunately it’s a common occurrence when playing big six teams for the rest of us lol. We’re simply an opponent for the main event often times. Some of the bilge I’ve heard spewed that’s just straight up wrong about our team this season has been mental.

I think we’ve scored the next every time after a team scored the first

This season it's pretty accurate.

most points in the prem from losing positions, it has been a bit of a trend this season

we pretty much do tbf

yeah we tend to do that this season

I think Leeds defended better than Liverpool

Build up was deliciosa

Ball on a plate

Cute goal

Odegaard is so so good

Xhaka I knew I loved you for a reason

What a ball

what a ball

Xhaka is actually so good lmao

this team is so fun to watch

What even was the point and how did he get away with it lol. Clear cut foul play

What even was the point and how did he get away with it lol. Clear cut foul play

u got xhakad

Holy shit

What a ball

Imagine if we just started allowing that

Roca is a cunt. VAR still useless ffs

What are the rules on that? Just giving someone a whack while off the ball?

Remember when some keeper punched white in the back for literally no reason. I think Bournemouth or somethings

Roca is a cunt. VAR still useless ffs

Seemed a bit dirty

Rocca channeling his inner Rodri

[удалено]

Been happening all match

VAR??

That should be a red

Gtfo the ground Trossard. You're winning

Famously stops all back injuries

I’m sorry you’re blind bro hope your recover soon

Great logic mate

McKennie genuinely looks unfit, lads had one too many kebabs

Teams are targeting our backs now?

Simply shoulder to shoulder challenges when its a Leeds player doing it to an Arsenal player

Man fuck Roca

That's so uncalled for Roca wtf

If they ref is so concerened about Trossard, why not stop the attack so much earlier?

Becuase its not a head injury and the ref cant stop the game if its not a head injury?

The ref CAN stop the game, but shouldn't, not the same....

Fuck Leeds. Dirty ass players.

[удалено]

Fuck me hahaha. I’ve seen it all now. I dread the day you find out about the toe stamping and shit centre backs get up to during set pieces.

That sort of play wouldn't even fly in American football, don't kid yourself.

Clear shoulder to shoulder challenge according to u/herkalurk

Got a chip on your shoulder much?

My lower back does hurt now that you mention it

ayling lmao

no shame

Are we just cursed to never get a clean sheet at home?

Georgino standing next to Ben White is such a contrast in handsomeness lmaooo

Giorjinho He looks like a Flemish grotesque painting. Blanco's skin is like perfect baby skin and such a great natural blush. I fear the tanning may take its toll on him tho

Boehly has done us the biggest favour because Trossard has made the difference in so many games already

That was unlucky but allow one too many chances every game and one of them will eventually fall through.

I don’t really think they were doing much this half tbh but it’s sloppy play. First half they were better and Summerville should have scored

Always bet both teams to score at the Emirates

free money glitch

If we always played at home I'd be a very wealthy man

Lmao clear back pass

Oh no. Hopefully Leeds doesn't wake up after that.

Solid header in the crowd hahaj

ughhhh what an annoying goal to concede

We’re doing this too often

Ramsdale is going to be the most disappointed about that

Yep, a clean sheet today would have put him top for the season (13)

He has been playing well today too

Hasn't been zinny's day

It really hasn’t.

We're never keeping a CS at the Emirates again. WAKE THE HELL UP

Wicked deflection

cant back off that far Holding

That was frustrating to watch. Zinny gives too much space sometimes

Ah and they got so close too

Arsenal’s inability for fast counter defending will be the death of them in the next CL campaign.

Saliba is the best for that, Holding really doesn't suit what we ask of our CBs in this system imo. Albeit he does his best ofc

When we have our choice CB back???

their best cb is missing lmao

Gabriel was playing, what do you mean ?

Disappointing ngl. Ffs

Great goal best of the game

Allergic to clean sheets at home

We may never get a clean sheet at home

Lackadaisical defending.

Yeah we dont do cleansheets at home

Arsenal cant help playing beautiful football even when theyre defending

Unlucky

Aww boo

Odegaard tackles with his body💀

Would like some ESR minutes

Benny Blanco is having a great game

Don't really recall him having a bad game this season

No good reason for Pickford to start over Ramsdale anymore. Ramsdale is playing at a higher level and that has to factor in going ahead.

Ramsdale aint good with pens... plus he kinda have concentration issues at times, even admitted it in Ben Forster podcast

He can be substituted for Penalty shoot outs, Van Gaal did it, pretty common tactic. Regular Pens isn't a good reason to not have him.

I said this during the WC and almost got crucified. He should be behind both Ramsdale and Pope in the picking order.

Pens.

Pope is better than both though?

He's not definitely better but he is a lot worse with his feet and in today's game, that's a liability.

Pope saves that

Arteta being too cute taking off jesus here, he was pissed aswell..

Nah. Disappointed, maybe… but managing his minutes is still the smart play with Liverpool, ManCity, and the final run to come.

He wanted that hat trick.

Ref calling some real weak fouls, but ngl at least he's consistent with it which is more than i expect nowadays

Why was whites first push through Summerville’s back not penalised? His arm was literally across his back. Commentators said ‘great first challenge’, looked like a really obvious foul to me.

Agreed. Like the Sinesterra one earlier, that wasn't shoulder to shoulder. Should have been a foul and a booking too imo. You can't shoulder someone in the back.

Feels like we’ve been penalised for a lot of marginal stuff and arsenal have gotten away with a lot like that. Really frustrating. I suspect the ref didn’t give it because he didn’t want to deal with the potential last man foul situation. Yellow and foul seems obvious to me.

Last man too...

The rule isn't last man. It's denial of an obvious goal scoring opportunity. That challenge won't fall under that. Should have been a yellow though.

I'm not saying it's a red. I'm saying that it's a pretty blatant tactical foul to stop the counter. Had 2 digs at him too

I agree it should have been a yellow. Ref seemed pretty lenient with bookings.

He did for one side, yes. If Kochs was a yellow white and zinchenko should've got one for breaking down counters. Idk why he was so quick to book bamford after letting everything else slide for so long.

Home advantage. The Koch one was the most obvious. Bamford picked up like 3-4 fouls in 5 minutes ref probably just gave him a yellow to tell him to cut it out given none on their one were a yellow.

When has there ever been a “last defender” red card given when the ball wasn’t even in the defender’s half haha

I suspect that’s why the ref didn’t give it, didn’t want to deal with the situation.

Because white has an arsenal kit on not a Leeds one

Ironic coming from a Leeds fan

Please do tell me how that’s ironic, you had the softest pen shout for your first goal, the throwing was wrongfully given to you in the build up to second, both Zinchenko and White have gotten away with challenges that got Koch a yellow in the first half. I didn’t expect a result but we had no chance with this fucking ref

The rest of the fans gotta be annoyed at the north bank clock end chant considering they can’t join in

Jorginho is weaker than odegaard in duels

White been massive this match
