Tierney faking a head injury? When there was no apparent contact to his head by Cancello. Hmm. Keep it honest Keirnan.
Agreed! How about a triple sub of ESR, Cedric & Laca. As Silva called for 20 mins ago. p.s. A lot of our starters look gassed. Tierney, Saka, etc.
Come on Arsenal, let's score. I thought we were going to lose heavily after those first few minutes, now we could get something maybe with a few fresh legs.
Well they have European duty as well, no? Also wonder if they took their foot off the gas after that initial spell afterthe lead.
OK. Maybe not quite as good as last time they played together. Holding's been more involved I think with both higher highs and lower lows (e.g. their goal). Mari I can't really recall him getting much involved.
73' ESR for Pepe, Laca on for MO. (probably invert those subs but that's technically how that happened)
Saka more effective on the right and auba more on the left when he can’t get service. Laca to play hold up game in the middle. Plus the creativity of ESR if this doesn’t work then bring on martinelli for auba
Possession has been gradually shifting back to Citeh in the last 15-20 mins. Pace has slowed. (Arlo just called it "testimonial pace" ) Maybe we're going to sit and try to play for the counter. Not exactly our strong suit, but maybe just maybe... Meanwhile we have a chance close to their goal, which Saka kind of flubs.
We've only scored twice this season in the last 15 minutes, last time back in September. Time for a change then.
79' Cancello tries the sexy shot with outside of the boot, but doesn't get enough curl. If he'd take it with the natural foot, it was a sure goal methinks.
Holding should come out. Not sure if we'll use a concussion sub or a regular sub, but Luiz is replacing him. Good move. Edit: Some unusual paperwork being passed on the sidelines so Arlo White thinks it was a concussion sub. Confirmed.
