No. Clearly Clive Tildsley's mic is dysfunctional. Not clear that they know it because I don't think they've said "sorry for the technical difficulties"
Big Gabby with SUPREME defending in/around the 6 box there. He even did a little crab walk during that sequence.
I've admittedly not been watching closely for the first 16 mins, but have we actually done anything of note?? (offensively that is!)
Yup, it only took a mere 21 minutes! And then quickly after that, Gyokeres with a clever run, getting both feet in his own half so as to avoid offside call, then muscling his way to a shot. Our first perhaps? Things are just barely starting to happen for us now. Here's Victor starting another foray at 25' and although it doesn't lead to a shot it give us sustained possession in their box for maybe the first time all night.
Really unlucky from Gyokeres but he is looking really good tonight. Great runs just been a tad unlucky.
The announcer on Paramount is someone named Steve. That doesn’t narrow it down a ton, but it’s not Clive Tyldesley.
Can't believe how many Arsenal fans cracked the shits over the Madueke signing, he has massively improved on his output at Chelsea and its been 4 games. Put the apologies box out for him.
30' Big Gabby heads into the back of Victor's noggin. Both come up bloody? Victor's a bit of a gusher.
Thank you. This guy has tripped me up before, sounding a lot like Clive. I'll have to stop making that assumption going forward. It's just that it's quite a few years of Clive to forget. Maybe he's retired now. It'd be about time! p.s. I just tried looking up the name of the main commentator and here's what the oh-so-intelligent Google AI told me "AI Overview There are no UEFA Champions League matches today, September 16, 2025, so there are no UCL announcers on Paramount+. However, for past matches, you can often find live coverage with studio analysis..."
Probably going to have to take Rice off soon, their players are going down really easily and the ref is paying a lot of touchy shit for them.
43' Bilbao shoots right across the face just out of Raya's reach. Yikes. Had the guy gone near post he probably would've scored. David wasn't protecting that post very well. Bullet well and truly dodged.
His yellow was weak. Foul, yes. Card, no. Also seems to be calling stuff on us that he waves off when AB does the same.
This midfield 3 is dire. You can't really have Rice and Merino as the 8s. Not sure why you wouldn't use Eze in Odes 8 role and put Martinelli or Trossard wide for this match.
