Unusually poor at the back from us.
Finally, Nelli gets a goal.
Nelli!!!
Leo!! Perfect finish. Martinelli having a great game so far!
Thought that was going in from Kai, ngl.
Martinelli! Great spot with Timber's cross, great finish.
Martinelli needed that
Loving Trossard's energy
No way Vardy should have gotten a freekick for that. He tries to milk that and win the freekick
Raya
Saliba
Magalhaes
Timber
Calafiori
Rice
Partey
Trossard
Saka
Nelli
Havertz
Score four more and we're top of the league, lol. Not gonna happen this game but it's kinda fun given I don't think we started that well league-wise.
Nwaneri already a game changer
No Benny Blanco? Dark Arts FC feeling empty today.
Shocked that's not a yellow.
TBH, should have been a yellow for Havertz on the American football style tackle, so maybe we can be okay with it going uncalled.
Trossard, doesn't always start but is absolutely crucial for us. What a player, what a signing.
Get in!!
The lack of consistency in the yellows for delaying a restart is so frustrating. More bullshit from the refs "we have to call it" and then ignoring the next one.
They only seem to want to call it when it's a) an Arsenal player and b) that player is already on a yellow. I swear they're getting bonuses for sending players off this season.
PACMAN SCORES AGAIN WAKAWAKA
Can we please transport this Saliba back to 2015 so he can take on Vardy then?
can we transport Havertz back so that he can score a fucking goal in lieu of Giroud
Ooh. That's a good one! We really needed a goal scorer that season.
Nelli gets an assist
Hermansen looks pretty decent yknow
just some guy having a good day
average keeper against Arsenal moments
I swear to fucking god if Leicester once again makes us lose the league imma throw hands
Kai gets one for being in the right place.
Why is this referee giving out dumb yellows?
We've created more than 3.4 xG btw
Keeper's being insane
Oh well, Chelshit scum get something to eat
Fuck!
Opposition goalkeeper going super saiyan against us? What else is new?
How many more games do we have without Ødegaard?
Like another month and a half :/
this might be unfair to say, but has Saka been getting worse at the near post bangers? Not that it's easy at all, of course, so it's probably just a bit of bad luck.
Strategy. Keep 'em guessing that he's going near post, then cut back and fire it far.
Honestly, I think there's more focus from the defenders to put him wide because the cut back is so dangerous, and he doesn't cross with his right as much. I don't expect any goals from that, normally.
What the bollocks are we doing
Bit late cuz I had to get out of bed, how've we been?
Not too much to report on yet
some gigi buffon regen announcing himself to the world against us
GABI IS BACK
Raya is having an absolute clanger today. 2 goals from 0.09 xG?!
First goal wasn't really his fault but that second one... eh. Should've done better, but also that was a very good shot.
That's two fouls that should have been cards.
Do we have Jonas as our manager today? What's with the corner spamming and it not working
Tro
ss
ard
FFS. Poor defending on a set piece. That's not like us.
Ndidi scores
THIS FUCKING KEEPER
Hermansen, let that one in man, come on, he's 17, he's got school next week, let him brag about it
HERMANSEN HE'S GOT GEOMETRY HOMEWORK
7 minutes feels pretty fair given the Hermansen injury scare tbh
Man, this kid is really special, what the fuck was that dribble lol, he's fucking 17
LETS FUCKING GOOOOO
I love individual talent. I love when teams can't play for shit but a hint of luck carries them over the line. Magnificent.
Well….. that was easy 🙃
Havertz MOTM
would be a shame if the gk's been injured tbh, even though he's been a pain in the ass for us, he's looking like a great player and one who will be very, very good with some more time.
can we make some fucking subs
trossard what the fuck was that
Need to bring on Nwaneri. We need some creativity
How are we only now making this sub, tbh.
lads.
REF THATS A FUCKING PENALTY
At this rate, Havertz gets a 5 out of 10 at best
35 minutes of constipation it is then
good grief, Jordan Ayew??
Mmm-mmm. Tighten up, boys.
raya what the fuck was that
oh ok deflected off Havertz, oh well.
