Match Thread: Arsenal vs. Fulham | Premier League

  • AlexanderMAVC52 days ago

    Kiwior and MLS met today only apparently, geez so much space on between them

    • SPELLTRIGGER👤12 days ago

      The problem is that Partey was moved to RB

      • Intentionallyabadger🇫🇷1a day ago

        Yes we know that Partey is not great at right back.. we just have no choice lol.

      • AlexanderMAVC32 days ago

        The entire play was on the left side, it had nothing to do with that. Partey was and usually is awful at RB, but in this case it was a different problem altogether

        • SPELLTRIGGER👤02 days ago

          If he is on RB who is the DMF? Without him Arsenal cant keep possession or resist pressure. With Trossard the problem is worse, with lots of balls lost during progression leading to deadly counters.

          • AlexanderMAVC12 days ago

            Rice was the DM and Merino was the 8

            • SPELLTRIGGER👤1a day ago

              Exactly, a configuration that never worked.

              • AlexanderMAVC1a day ago

                These players were not involved in this context, it was about Kiwior and MLS

                • SPELLTRIGGER👤1a day ago

                  They were involved on the failed progression that led to the counter.

  • fegelman12 days ago

    Be scared, Madrid. Be very scared.

  • DiggiNotes👤22 days ago

    What are MLS and Kiwi doing over there

  • powsandwich62 days ago

    every goal counts for europe, I’ll take it

  • db283222 days ago

    It is unArsenal like to have a comfortable end to a game

  • stayinthetruck12 days ago

    Do it again.

  • Far_Eye655532 days ago

    🫣 MLS got drawn in and ate up on that wow

  • throwaway7292632022 days ago

    Sessegnon plays with so much freedom when I see him for Fulham. Tragic defending.

  • Heavy_Cupcake_624632 days ago

    Yes Muniz

  • Demostroyer12 days ago

    Saliba has done well to marshall the defence and lead from the back since Gabi went off.

  • symptic👤22 days ago

    Someday one of those sweet Rice volleys will go in.

  • Thesecondorigin12 days ago

    Unlucky rice. Too early on the contact

  • GDXN👤22 days ago

    Unfortunate Martinelli was off, he’s had a great game tonight

  • vietcn22 days ago

    damm Martinelli deserves one

  • Thesecondorigin12 days ago

    Was timber subbed off from the contact injury earlier in the game or was this muscular?

  • fegelman22 days ago

    Martinelli Uncertainty Principle - it is impossible to simultaneously be precisely on target and onside

  • CentreStable22 days ago

    Nooooo so deserved

  • IncidentVarious153012 days ago

    Great pass from ødegaard but clear offside

  • connorqueer42 days ago

    Ryan Sessegnon has been around longer than recorded history and he’s still four years younger than me wtf

    • Thesecondorigin22 days ago

      Starting to think we won’t make it to the PL at this right

      • connorqueer22 days ago

        I may not but I have commenced project Marta on my 4 year old niece. Stupid little bastard doesn’t even know it yet

  • throwaway7292632042 days ago

    He deserves a goal but yeah very offside to me.

  • byrgenwerthdropout22 days ago

    Kiwior vs Mbappe, rapist vs Vini isn’t what I had in mind when spending my monkey paw on Saka’s return…

  • sanatino32 days ago

    Saka has a gravity about him that makes life easier for Odegaard and their connection is golden. Instantly that right side looks so dynamic.

  • letmein432132 days ago

    People leaving when there’s still 6 min plus bit of extra time left…. Embarrassing

    • Riding_on_the_hype👤12 days ago

      Yeah shocking they’d leave a midweek game that served up uncomfortable amounts of boredom.

      • letmein432112 days ago

        With the amount they probably paid, I would expect someone to stay.

        • Riding_on_the_hype👤12 days ago

          Nah I had a season ticket for years at my local and there’s defo games you leave early. Especially midweek.

  • Thesecondorigin12 days ago

    Really obvious to tell Iwobi is one of wenger’s sons. Such a great understanding of space and sneakily good tek

  • 16161hirose82 days ago

    Martinelli found his brazilian passport lads 😭🙏

    • vietcn32 days ago

      Getting engaged fixed him????

      • byrgenwerthdropout22 days ago

        All he needed was to score one!

  • symptic👤32 days ago

    Two slips in a row. Arsenal groundskeepers trying to injure everyone.

  • gizzledos32 days ago

    Raya dealing full volleys is making me nervous

  • connorqueer42 days ago

    Barn d’Or contender

  • Far_Eye655532 days ago

    Kiwior not doing much to help his stock this match

    • Riding_on_the_hype👤22 days ago

      You can’t expect a toaster to be an oven

  • PDXSonic62 days ago

    What a surprise, putting Partey at RB and they give up the best scoring opportunity all game.

    • Thesecondorigin22 days ago

      Think we’re literally only won 1 game he started at right back this season

    • hambeurga👤12 days ago

      he is an awful defender

  • SirBarkington12 days ago

    Iwobi would have made this game way closer than Traore but I guess he dont got the legs anymore

    • Thesecondorigin22 days ago

      Iwobi don’t got the legs? He’s 28 and has never been overly quick.

      • SirBarkington12 days ago

        it’s not that uncommon for players that debuted young to not have the legs to play a full 90 before 30.

  • Thesecondorigin42 days ago

    Kiwior absolutely horrific positioning

    • Jealous_Foot861312 days ago

      Could have stopped at horrific

      • Thesecondorigin12 days ago

        Guy is so bad

        • Jealous_Foot861322 days ago

          He’s a bottom end rotation player, for the money paid for him he’s fine but you don’t want him playing against good teams like Fulham.

  • HoxtonRanger22 days ago

    Oh my.

    What a let off.

  • rompskee22 days ago

    woooo boy that was lucky

  • SunsetDrive17🇳🇱42 days ago

    That miss was abysmal

  • hambeurga👤22 days ago

    .98xg?

    • gizzledos12 days ago

      It was a harder chance than Sakas so doubtful

  • Thesecondorigin22 days ago

    Feel like it was harder to miss that than make it

  • SwitchHitter1722 days ago

    Wow Iwobi put that on a plate for him

  • Fabulous-Ship855112 days ago

    Muniz wtf… free header

  • nim162312 days ago

    Muniz how?

  • throwaway7292632012 days ago

    Why didn’t Iwobi start? Up there for the worst miss of the season.

    • Briecheeze22 days ago

      Announcers said the subs would likely start against Liverpool next - probably just squad rotation?

      • gunningIVglory12 days ago

        Fair enough, rest IwobiGoat for Liverpool

  • Sypher1985👤12 days ago

    Who is playing right back now? Partey?

    • DiggiNotes👤22 days ago

      Yes. Really don’t like him playing there

    • BrtGP12 days ago

      Yes

    • HalfMan-HalfMoth12 days ago

      Yeah trossard gone up front merino back to midfield

  • FoxMcCloudOwnsSlippy👤12 days ago

    Timber needs the rest but Tross for Timber is not what I had in mind but lets go.

    • byrgenwerthdropout32 days ago

      Leo 9, Merino left 8, Rice 6, rapist right back

  • Demostroyer62 days ago

    Martinelli is on one tonight. Best game from him all season? Definitely one of his best.

  • vearz32 days ago

    One shot on target after 75 minutes is pitiful. We just have no creativity in the squad and ESR has been a huge disappointment so far.

    • Heavy_Cupcake_624632 days ago

      Needs to step up next season, our club can’t be wasting £30m on bang average players.

    • throwaway7292632022 days ago

      I’d have to agree kept an eye on him and just was so disappointed. Was a passenger all game.

  • Gregib32 days ago

    Assist of the season by Martinelli!

  • throwaway7292632082 days ago

    Saka thanking the medical staff. Really is such a nice lad.

  • byrgenwerthdropout32 days ago

    What a Bugs Bunny of an assist by Nelli by the way

  • Far_Eye655552 days ago

    Martinelli flick was beyond luck’s ability to comprehend

  • HalfMan-HalfMoth122 days ago

    Saka goal and Martinelli remembering he’s brazilian

    Genuine tears

    • DiggiNotes👤12 days ago

      Not remembering he’s Brazilian! 😂😂😂

  • SIotball92 days ago

    What a fucking flick by Martinelli

  • rompskee42 days ago

    Beautiful

  • sid8498112 days ago

    SAKAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

  • The_Wytch82 days ago

    What the fuck did I just see…

    What the fuck Martinelli?!

    My word, what a goal!

  • TheDream42592 days ago

    Martinelli’s best game for us in years. Phenomenal

  • ArseLover1991👤92 days ago

    Class from Martinelli he made that goal

  • SwitchHitter1742 days ago

    What a flick by Martinelli

  • SwitchHitter1782 days ago

    I like how he celebrated with the physios

  • Mediocre_Nova72 days ago

    That was sexy from Martinelli

  • throwaway7292632042 days ago

    uwvwisyuwbaja ah siwvwis bskakska

  • TheDream42532 days ago

    Fulham have got the sitting back portion of the gameplan against us correct, they just forgot the part where they need to attempt to play football and try to score. Other than that flawless gameplan

  • WarryHilson👤-22 days ago

    Wheres the guy crying that Lukic should be booked for delaying the restart earlier?

  • byrgenwerthdropout02 days ago

    Lol Arteta a tiny bit out of his area there

    • SwitchHitter1712 days ago

      he wanted to throw that in so badly lol

  • hambeurga👤22 days ago

    its funny when the ref is a stickler about the free kick spot and then gets it wrong himself

  • [deleted]👤-42 days ago

    • InvertTheSenses32 days ago

      You clearly forgot what watching Holding was like.

      • [deleted]👤22 days ago

        [deleted]

        • InvertTheSenses12 days ago

          The 2016 final he was horrible. Not to mention his starts after the Saliba injury were completely shambolic.

    • throwaway7292632022 days ago

      Rob Holding isn’t good enough for Sheffield United.

    • bmoviescreamqueen12 days ago

      If anyone is still interested in him they can have him for a gumball

  • nim162382 days ago

    Saka must be excited that he can finally play next to the best striker in the world.

    • RingBro87612 days ago

  • throwaway7292632032 days ago

    Saliba has been weird today. Kiwior has to be better there too.

    • thatsalotofnuts5452 days ago

      Feel like Jimenez always does well against Saliba

  • The_Fuck_WHAT32 days ago

    nice to see martinelli having a good game

    we’ve looked pretty good in the 2nd half, just wish we could score another

  • Heavy_Cupcake_624622 days ago

    Would be nice to see some subs on.

    Martinelli just sent Castagne to the shadow realm 💀

  • DiggiNotes👤52 days ago

    Best Martinelli performance I’ve seen in a while

    • Emperor_PPP22 days ago

      It’s because he’s up against a training cone of a defender today

    All that to just get megged lol

    Lmao Castagne

  • byrgenwerthdropout92 days ago

    Why are Liverpool fans acting nervous in this thread? Lol mates you’re 12 points clear, there’s been no title race for weeks now

    • OriginallyTom-32 days ago

      Are these fans in the room with us?

      • TheDream42522 days ago

        If you compare Liverpool to Chelsea or City or Tottenham flairs in this thread, it’s pretty striking. Seeing more pool than Fulham on a quick scroll lmao

        This isn’t half as bad as it usually is. Should Fulham equalize you’d think it was a Liverpool match

      • lMinho-12 days ago

        The numbers mason what do they mean

      • byrgenwerthdropout42 days ago

        They’re in this thread if you look before acting up like this mate lol

  • big_mustache_dad32 days ago

    Lukic is out there to kick players, that’s all I’ve seen him do for an hour at this point

  • throwaway7292632022 days ago

    A player running with the ball, tears in my eyes. Myles is quite good at that football yoke.

  • SIotball62 days ago

    Damn kidney shot right there

    • kleiser1032 days ago

      Really clean connection on the shot as well

  • sid849822 days ago

    That was a really powerful shot by Timber.

  • WarryHilson👤-162 days ago

    No consent FC crying when Fulham don’t put the ball out then no intention of it when its the other way around.

    • Sypher1985👤12 days ago

      Well they didn’t do it, why should we? Also one of their defenders just feigned injury before Leno went down, did the old hobble when he realised play wasn’t going to be stopped and then made a full recovery 1 second later. Play until the whistle.

      • WarryHilson👤-12 days ago

        Smith Rowe put it out for Timber, please stop being such a plastic.

        • Sypher1985👤02 days ago

          Why resort to name calling?

          • WarryHilson👤-12 days ago

            Why admit you were wrong when you can cry?

            • Sypher1985👤02 days ago

              I’m not going to debate anything with you when you resort to name calling. You must have some pent up aggression???
