What if Merino got subbed cuz he got punched in the head and concussed
Very possible.
This week is perhaps the worst week I’ve had in a while.
So frustrating… we struggled in the final third, but ultimately the game came down to a shit penalty call.
Once again getting the harshest possible punishment when possible.
Just need to find our identity. All these crosses are shite and pointless.
I really felt that we were going to lose this game, and that’s so frustrating for me. This run of poor form is going to be so costly.
even football being shit
When it shits, it pours
I listened to the second half on arsenal.com. The only positives seemed to be that Nwaneri got decent minutes and Ødegaard is back in the squad.
o Nwaneri got some minutes, he seemed pretty able to stand up physically to the Inter players, which is pretty impressive… in classic Ethan form, he was demanding the ball and had one decent switch to Martinelli that obviously didn’t pan out but I thought was a breath of fresh air.
o Havertz hopefully only has a concussion after that monster collision.
o Ode came on and seemed okay physically, and our press jumped to life as soon as he did.I misread the report. I thought Ethan came in in the 53rd minute but that’s his squad number!
Ha no, I was annoyed that he only got 15-20 minutes because we looked absolutely dire despite the number of shots we got off and he could have done us absolutely no harm.
xG looks good for us at least.
Arteta said, “know what I learned from the last few games?” And then proceeded to show us nothing.
What did Arteta get “bizarrely” booked for?
Handball
Found it:
Arteta was then shown a bizarre yellow card after picking up the ball while it was still on the pitch
