Exactly, too sentimental to Championship players. This should be the last of Rodon, James, Gruev and Piroe starting.

I agree. No harm in getting a battering from the best early on.White Lotus wrote: ↑Sat Aug 23, 2025 5:49 pm This is also a wake up call for every single player.

I know he misplaced a pass for their second, but is Gruev the only one who can tackle?
I’ve counted five inc blocks.

Re: Arsenal v Leeds Utd Match Thread
I made the point that all Arsenal's signings were over 50 million. How many of those do you think we can make? Maybe 1. And that will make no difference at all. Adding depth and spreading the money is the only way we're going to establish ourselves. And we'll beat worse teams than Arsenal this seasonThe Subhuman wrote: ↑Sat Aug 23, 2025 5:52 pm We need to make some proper signings, this doing it cheap definitely won't work.
We were taking the piss out of West Ham yesterday but this is a lot worse than their performance...

Hope so, James, as this performance is nothing short of dreadful.White Riot wrote: ↑Sat Aug 23, 2025 5:51 pm Reality check this, but away matches against top 10 teams are gonna be tough.
Only Liverpool should be as tough as this.
Gotta learn from this experience.

Re: Arsenal v Leeds Utd Match Thread
Well that's an insult. Bringing on a 15 year old against us. That's just rude

Re: Arsenal v Leeds Utd Match Thread
Doing it cheap? Haven't we spent £100m? Farke is picking his favourites rather than the best team. 8 starters from the Championship says it all.The Subhuman wrote: ↑Sat Aug 23, 2025 5:52 pm We need to make some proper signings, this doing it cheap definitely won't work.

Re: Arsenal v Leeds Utd Match Thread
And one of those was Perri who's looked very poor so far....
Stach for sure, maybe Bijol, Okafor should be.
Here comes Okafor with Aaronson

Good grief. At this rate we may see Farke putting on the No 9 shirt and putting himself on

Aaronson first touch is a wayward pass, the trend continues.

I just caught most of the first half on the mobile, but thought we were doing ok.
Bear in mind Arse will be challenging for the title and the UCl. So this is as hard as it can be for a newly promoted team.

So, the front three who struggled to make an impact on the Everton defence are off.
