The chav reject(s) are terrible.

Ohdeargod is the single greatest mass wind up in football.

Saka looks like he’s at the end of a season, not the start.

Don’t let the win fool you, this was a shambles and the only saving grace is it was against an even bigger shambles.

We were shit, and the game was shit, but my biggest issue is what the hell has happened to MLS since the end of last season? He has been diabolical in pre season and again today.

What the fuck is wrong with the tech side of the forum?? Nightmare.

Anyway, best we can say about today is that we’ll take the win. Absolutely pony performance, fucking dreadful.

Zero threat up front and that got worse when Havertz came on. He’s fucking useless. Don’t want to slate Madueke too soon, but he could be a liability defensively. Whatever people think of Gabi, he covers very well defensively. Rice anonymous. Got to make Timber and Calafiori first choice FBs over White and MLS in my opinion.

We’re not winning that without the performance of our centre halves in that second half.

First things first -

1. Credit to ohdeargod cos today he was our best player from start to finish and never stopped working and closing down

2. This win was in spite of the clueless cock managing the team cos he has not got a scooby doo - without a doubt, and by a long distance, rice was our worst player today and the manager should have had him off far earlier than he did. Touch was woeful, energy non existant, and tackles were missing but it takes guts to take top players off when they having a mare, and the cone boy has no guts.

3. Taking of best players having a mare, saka was dogshit today - going down looking for free kicks all day (a few were justified), but it was clear that they were in his head and he didnt want physical contact.

3. In what universe is white our best right back - players continue to run off him with ease, and he is a fcuking liability

4. Thought subbing gyokeres was premature - the supply he was getting was more suited to a john fashanu type striker, but he kept running the channels and closed them down as well. Havitz let them play out a lot easier and we were under more pressure as a result.

Zubi was poor and chav reject looked clueless

Arteta get down outside WHL and kidnap Eze before he signs for the scum. Zubimendi and Gyokeres were awful.Raya saved us again

So you didnt notice that manure got completely on top when we subbed gyokeres ? Havertz strolled around and allowed them to play out easier, and he was incapable of holding up the ball or running the channels. The supply to gyokeres was garbage all day

Btw, raya made one great save, BUT twice in the first half he could have cost us twice pricking around with his passing :evil:

Okay, we played Absolute Shit:


Do you fancy doing Player Ratings? If so Just Cut N Paste the namesand put a figure in from 1 - 10

1 David Raya

33 R. Calafiori

49 M. Lewis-Skelly

6 Gabriel Magalhães

2 W. Saliba

4 B. White

41 D. Rice

36 Martín Zubimendi

8 M. Ødegaard (c), Captain

11 Gabriel Martinelli

14 V. Gyökeres

7 B. Saka

29 K. Havertz

49 M. Lewis-Skelly

20 N. Madueke

23 Mikel Merino

12 J. Timber

Arteta:

For me only 3 of our players were worth a mention Zubimendi, Gabrielle and Timber

Odegaard was Disgraceful and considering arteta has given & kept him as Captain, it confirms to me that without any doubt arteta has his favourites and that, plus his in-ability to make the appropriate in-game changes will put paid to any chances of us achieving anything this season and that makes me both Sad and very Fucking Angry.


For me Fat Cǔnt Hooper the Bowling Ball on Legs clearly showed that cannot keep up with play and has to be THE worst ref in the Prem and That is saying something.

1 David Raya 6 great save in first half but still fcuks about with ball at his feet and booked for time wasting AGAIN

33 R. Calafiori 8 goal and solid defensively

49 M. Lewis-Skelly 6

6 Gabriel Magalhães 8 Solid as usual

2 W. Saliba 8 solid as usual

4 B. White 5 stands too far off his man, allows players to run past him easy

41 D. Rice 4 absolute disgraceful performance and went hiding imo

36 Martín Zubimendi 5 touches were poor and gave away brainless free kicks

8 M. Ødegaard (c), Captain 8 best player imo and everyone knows my opinion on him

11 Gabriel Martinelli 6 tried spectacular overhead kick in first half when perhaps should have headed it. Worked hard as always

14 V. Gyökeres 6 battered all day by de ligt but never backed down and ran channels well. Service to him was woeful

7 B. Saka 4 cowardly performance pulling out of tackles and shirking physical contact

29 K. Havertz 4 lazy useless c.unt

49 M. Lewis-Skelly

20 N. Madueke 4 out of his depth

23 Mikel Merino 6 battled hard when he came on

12 J. Timber 7.5 best right back in league for me - 2 of them were kicking him at one stage and he still came away with ball 8)

Arteta: 3 hadnt the balls to take rice off first and hadnt the balls to sub saka - sending a bad message to the players there imo
