Arsenal v Leeds Utd Match Thread

[SG90]

Yes and no. Top of the league last season with 14 goals from corners.

But poor defending from our side as Rodon lost his man and Gruev moved off the post

[The Subhuman]

We've done well to hold it together tbh, half expected a quick second

[SG90]

Farke won't get away with being so stubborn in the PL. We need subs before 75th min and the right subs, not the pecking order.

[Clitheroe White]

Only 2 down. Must make a couple of subs at half time. We need to change this as we’re being out played everywhere.

Agree with others nmecha and Longstaff as changes.

Ffs

2-0 Gruev did really well to win the ball there, then gave it away, and we are punished!

Make that 2...

[Irish Ian]

Ouch.

Game over

I think championship top quality doesn't always translate t oprem class. James and Rodon may, may mind, not be good enough for the prem. Neither player is young and both players haven't taken premier chances in the past. James especially looks a better bet off the bench against tiring defences

Let's not get too carried away
We are playing one of the top 4 here maybe top 3. Of course there is going to be a gap at this early stage.
Rodon looked fine against Everton. But I do agree James should not be starting. I would be starting Harrison. He has experience with this sort of situation.

[Madron]

s**t

[The Subhuman]

Gudmundsson lost Saka...2-0, Poor from Gruev too

[BlackHillsPaul]

Damn! Worst case scenario. Conceding in stoppage time.....

[STLWhite]

Poor all round. Have the ball away again and paid for it.

[JoeDenver]

Welcome to the Premier League, boys

[Chilli D]

We're far too slow in possession.
It looks like a top PL side against a championship team.
It could be a long second half

[Finnatic]

Gruev superbly wins another tackle but then loses it for their second.

[White Lotus]

What can Farke do here? Because it's really not working.

Not a lot, but i'm not despondent.
We have players not playing today that can make this team better, we are far from atrocious against a top notch Champions league team.

They are £millions of pounds in front of us, and it shows.

[SG90]

Need Longstaff on for Gruev, Okafor for James and Nmecha for Piroe

[Morpheus]

Have we already got early concerns that Perri is going to be a nervous wreck in his 6 yard box?

This is not what we wanted after Meslier !!!!!

[andrewjohnsmith]

I was about to say we hadn't given them a clear cut chance in 45 minutes
