PL | Arsenal v Leicester City | 11/08/17 19:45 BST | Sky Sports

[say yes]

What a ****ing game. Would genuinely say that's one of the best I've ever been to. Absolutely nuts.

 

[Makingtrax]

True but Shakespeare isn't the biggest catch. Leicester will soon realize what a huge mistake they made when they sacked Ranieri. They went from organized hoofball to unorganized hoofball. Retarted, really, in a day and age where even Tony Pulis tries to sign actual footballers

I rate Ranieri, he's been around the block. Another crafty old fox.

 

[FinnGooner]

Let's not forget that when Ramsey came on for Holding, our formation changed as well so it was not all individual brilliance by Ramsey. We had more players in the middle of the pitch. Still not convinced on the 3 CB formation. Way too easy to run through our midfield due to our pressing problems plus we lose balls in dangerous places when our WBs have already moved to advanced positions. The point of three CBs gets lost if the right/left CB has to constantly defend one on ones at the flanks. The defensive formation is supposed to be 5-4-1, I believe, and we were way off quite a few times. If we want to continue with the 3-4-3, we need Kola to play LWB and three experienced CBs.

Part of that had to do with Ramsey. Ramsey changed the game in midfield. Offered so much more compared to Elneny. Don't be blinded by love.

Ramesy was the right player to come on under the circumstances... A goal down at home with 20mins to go....however if you looked how we played going forward with xhaka and el neny we were excellent, kept the ball under pressure, looked defensively secure in open play.

Really don't understand the el neny stick tbh, people are saying that going forward we were great but at the same time saying that el neny was to blame for the lack of attack thrust in the team.

Ultimately we should've won this game 4-0. Three goals were completely avoidable.

 

[Coolin]

Elneny had a good game.

Broke up play well and didn't over-complicate things. We have Xhaka for that.

 

[Hunta]

Mike Dean denied us a clear pen, but he never booked one of our players nor did he mess up against us.

Best game he's ever reffed involving Arsenal. 9/10.

 

[say yes]

Also as much as I enjoyed myself, we got away with that big time.

Leicester came with a plan to exploit our back 3 and absolutely ruined us for periods. Vardy in particular was immense.

Don't usually lay into the big man but tactically that was a very worrying omen for the season. Shakespeare and Leicester exploited our formation brilliantly.

 

[Ewarwoowar]

Really sorry lad. There's a few I forgot

You're in there bro. Don't worry about that.

**** that tagging ****, it's a literal ******* minefield

 

[razörist]

And Leicester players were diving all over the place in the first half, gave them nothing. Even they looked surprised.

 

[MLK79]

Really sorry lad. There's a few I forgot

You're in there bro. Don't worry about that.

We racially ambiguous black folks have to stick together in this white white world of football.

 

[Crocrodile]

Can 't be arsed about the handball...Should have had a penalty...Tit for tat for every denying ****.

There are things to work on, holes to be filled.
However, really liked that Wenger has shown a degree of tactical flexibility.
We can play both 3 at the back and 4, we shouldn't be married to one.

Seo and Ox were outstanding, Ox is playing better at RWB and Bellerin did better at LWB, think Ox deserves the nod.

Most of all, we willed ourselves back into the game all the way until winning it.

By hook or crook we won it.
Need to build on this, add to this team until the end of the window and fix the mistakes.

 

[Mitch]

xhaka, seo, Lacazette, ox and welbeck played well.

 

[TH14]

This isn't healthy.

 

[mavelous]

Xhaka didn't have his best game

Don't usually lay into the big man but tactically that was a very worrying omen for the season. Shakespeare and Leicester exploited our formation brilliantly.

It's worrying in as much as 3 or our 4 'proper' CB's - Merty, Kos, Mustafi and the one that played Holding - were missing. A positive slant for me is we have a lot of firepower and bags of goals even without Sanchy and nowhere near fit Özil and Rambo. Sign another quality player like Lemar and a CB and we'll be up there I feel

 

[Prawn Sandwich]

I liked the match for the entertainment and GIRFUY to my pals who I watched the game with.

We are pretty short in a few areas though. Worrying...

Points on board regardless.

 

[Tosker]

great report from Amy Lawrence in the Guardian - captures the mood very well

You can go nearly the whole half without touching the ****ing ball and still make a sizeable impact, regardless it's partly up to your team mates to find you also. Did you not watch or take on board a single thing said on the video I posted?

That's a fair point but Ramsey clearly had more of an impact.

 

[GDeep™]

Nice to see some cute play around the box and plenty of created changes, last season we were barely creating a chance in some games.

Hopefully we'll maintain this 'zip' in our attack.

Bad passing on the day. Xhaka and Holding were horrendous for most of the game.
