eez-eh Posted October 21, 2023 Share Posted October 21, 2023 If Arteta wasn’t full of hot air he’d stick to his word and sub the keeper off here. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheScarf Posted October 21, 2023 Share Posted October 21, 2023 Like clockwork the Nigels i follow on Twitter are demanding that Ramsdale is subbed on for Raya immediately. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Co-commentator also said it wasn’t meant as a shot. I'd question whether a professional footballer at the top level misjudged a cross to the back post to that extent, having already seen Raya in a ridiculous position well off his line. The technique of the ball and trajectory is all off for a back post cross too - about 5 yards off from only the edge of the box. Even Jai Quitongo could probably do better than that. It's not compulsory to strike the ball into the net; I'd say it's more likely than not to be deliberate. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The best part of Arteta's fraudulent management being that Ramsdale is even more of a bombscare than Raya. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the replay I thought he was looking at his teammate when he hit it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ramsdale isnt in the squad, it’s some young boy on the bench. As I was alluding to above though, if he really meant his shite about keeper substituons the other month he’d be taking Raya off here. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrewDon Posted October 21, 2023 Share Posted October 21, 2023 Given the weeks-long fallout about Onana against Wolves on the opening weekend, I'm surprised a bit more wasn't made of Sanchez on Jesus there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please, Sanchez is an established Barclays member. Onana is still working his way into the club. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He also had his head up for quite some time before playing the ball though, which is why I think he clocked the situation and deceived the goalkeeper. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And why is it Brighton and Hove Albion at home to literally anybody? Monday's Spurs vs Fulham fixture would have been much more MNF had it been at the Cottage, imo. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vikingTON Posted October 21, 2023 Share Posted October 21, 2023 Someone's going to have to walk me through the egghead 'football philosophy' where passing the ball out from the goalkeeper is preferable to getting it launched to f**k, when 2 fucking nil up with 20 minutes in the game to go. In what bizarre, alternative universe do the benefits outweigh the risks of that decision? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They’ve been the much better team generally. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
