3 subs enter - Zinny, Jorge, and Jesus for Kai, Partey, and Tomi. All three of those coming off putting in incredible shifts. Encouraging
5th and final sub: Veira gets a few token minutes! More importantly Saka gets a rare few minutes off!!
Ooh, that shot by Rice was tantalizingly beautiful. From the camera angle we had. It looked like it was just fated to curl into the far post, but the post had other ideas. Not to mention the AR's flag.
It may have been different if this game was at Stamford Bridge. Are players facing former clubs not even supposed to celebrate when it's a home game?
FT ARS 5-0 CHE Shots: 27(10) - 7(1) What a fvckin statement! If it comes down to GD, take that Jurgen and Josep A brilliant early goal was key to settle any nerves... full props to Leo how cooly he took that. Then the game opened up and we let them back in. Could say we were even lucky to be in the lead at HT. But in 2T we put the pedal down and utterly blew them away. Braces for Kai and Ben(?!). My stand out favorite goal was the Gabby to Ode to Kai. That was a thing of directness and beauty. My MOTM for this game... the whole goddamn team. Onward...
Haven't been to the pub to watch Arse for awhile. Was thinking about doing that today but didn't. BIG mistake.
Not sure about that. It hit the keeper in his midsection. I think he was trying to shape it around the keeper but mishit it a bit.
