Match Thread Arsenal v Leicester

[Graz]

Iwobi is their best player by a mile at the moment. We need to stop him and we will nullify them.

Now this I agree with. Usually don't rate him but he's been a threat here.

 

[popillius]

Pointing out something daft is fine. But I don't think he did. Just stuff didn't come off.

And even then, a 'nightmare 5 mins' is a bit extreme.

Okay. You see what you want and I'll see what I want to. Jebus, you're over analysing this a bit.

 

[Jeff]

Bollocks 1-1

 

[Miles Away]

Just needed to get to half time.

Game management always a weakness unfortunately.

 

[City Fan]

For ****s sake. Jonny Evans woefully out of position once again.

 

[bocadillo]

Bugger

 

[Miles Away]

Yep. No sooner do we praise Evans he goes walkabout.

Absolute kick in the knob conceding there.

 

[popillius]

The most impressive thing about the Arsenal equaliser is the magical way Evans can make himself disappear from a defence.

 

[bocadillo]

Bad luck that the ref ignored the simulation in the lead up to the goal. Jon Moss would have blown for it...







...if it was Vardy who had dived like that.

 

[Graz]

Argh so frustrating to concede then. Deserved the lead.

Keep going second half though, we've threatened a lot up front.

 

[BOB HAZELL]

Was it Vardy who lost possession of the ball - leading to their break upfield and goal?

 

[Feriol]

We were far the better except the last 5 minutes. HopeHwe can keep our pressing game up.

 

[TornadoShaunUK]

Not a bad performance. Took a deserved lead but Arsenal stepped it up a gear in the last 5 or 10 minutes and suddenly our defence goes from looking relatively untroubled by them to being completely rolled over. We're getting too close to them in the midfield and phaffing about with it at the back too much.

 

[Lako42]

That was soft as **** and we've probably ****ed the game now.

Ffs

 

[TommyK]

That was a great first half for us. Even with the goal. We've really taken it to Arsenal.

Feck me the commentators on sky do my head in.

 

[SilverFox]

Why bother pressing for so long if you are going to just clock off 5 minutes early.

 

[alex]

Tactics until the Equalizer absolutely spot on

 

[Brown Nose]

We got a bit sloppy after scoring. It was almost as though they got over-excited.

Our passing went to shit and they started to dominate possession and play in our half.

To be fair, Puel clearly saw this happening and was yelling at them but they couldn't stop it.

First half hour was outstanding. Lovely to watch.

Can't help feeling that our kids and / or the ref will wobble enough to ensure that we end up losing.

 

[Blaarev]

Was it Vardy who lost possession of the ball - leading to their break upfield and goal?

Yes. Not that he is to blame for the goal though

 

[City Fan]

Yep. No sooner do we praise Evans he goes walkabout.

Absolute kick in the knob conceding there.

He was absolute bobbins in the last 10 minutes of the half, he was all over the place.
