PBP: Community Shield: Arsenal vs. Chelsea, August 2, 2015

What the hell is Remy doing? That's his 6th offside.

 

Outside of Willian, we just haven't been good. We've had decent spells, but nothing to show. Ramires has been okay but his finishing is suspect at best.

 

Remy has forgotten the offside rule, apparently. Wonder if we see Falcao on for him or Ramires at the half. Or Oscar.

We haven't played all that badly (given that Hazard has been MIA), just that Arsenal took their one chance really well. Happens.

 

I was listening on the radio, the guy said, 'It falls to Ramires'... I thought, NVM

 

To be fair, he's the only player who's out himself in good positions to score, he's just a shite finisher. Willian has done the rest.

 

To be fair, he only scores when it really matters

 

It's time for us to talk about Bane's passing.

 

Where is Hazard? Did we leave him in America?

 

Hazard has been awful.... has got to put that away.

 

Wow, clear shot on goal, skies it like Ramos would a penalty.

 

Wasn't that tough of a save.

Meanwhile, we have Zouma playing as our LB lol

This almost looks like a bizarro version of these sides - Arsenal are sitting back, we have strikers who can't hit the target even as they're getting chances.

 

And the occasionally wonky punch, yeah.

 

Fair enough - I was mostly joking. The old "It's time for us to talk about Kevin" meme.

 

Just started watching again. We've had the chances to score apparently.

 

Yeah, but very little to show for it. All the possession with very little purpose.

 

Bane clobbers it back to TC who fumbles it.

 

That doesn't sound right... we're playing LeArse...

 

Ass

The moment I typed that, Bane made that "backpass" to Courtois.

Hey, Bane's heading is terrible...........(he says as we get another good FK opportunity........that we waste).

 

Poor finishing cost us and little to none in the creativity department killed us.
