Astrealix[Match Thread] Arsenal F.C. vs FC Barcelona
Can’t watch but you lot pop off and have fun
coygsuHoly shit the pitch looks patched together lmao. Hopefully no one gets injured.
I was standing and cheering and some dumbass screamed at me to sit down lol
Don’t Americans do that also lol
Yeah I’m at the game
Yeah like why tf he saying that
Also why are you on Lemmy watch the damn game
It got a lot more interesting after this XD
IronEagleBirdAmericans really just throw on whatever shirt they have when going to a match. Haha
1 degree of separation. This is the closest that person might get to watching Bayern live lol.
Barca and favorable refereeing a tale as old as the club itself
Tough start, COME ON!
Saka looked hungry to right that first goal.
Now that’s how you respond. Well done Saka!
I like what I’m seeing from Havertz
I take it back. He’s disappeared.
Ok, nice poachers goal lol
$5 billion dollar stadium, $20 pitch. The grass looks terribly put together and rushed.
Heads up Saka, there will be more chances
Dang. Saka sent him the wrong way too
We’re pretty fluid playing in those tight corners.
sensiblepuffinSo fucking unlucky…
Ramsdale should do better there
Ramsdale was pissed on that one. More just an unlucky deflection.
Serves you right you fuck
What are we talking about here? Lol. The challenge on Havertz?
That’s what I was referring to, yeah. I was merely annoyed until the commentator chimed in with “I didn’t think that merited a card or a foul”
This ref sucks ass
“That’s a great challenge.” Commentator must be smoking that California crack.
He literally just took out Havertz’s legs from behind.
Saka’s work rate this match! Also Havertz goal again!

Saka sat Alonso down.
Man, these Barca fans seem more excited about anyone being able to win a duel vs Saka than anything else
They’re sarcastically cheering tackles because the ref is shit
Hm, maybe. Always hard to tell with that lot
Gotta go to bed, but at least it’s been eventful. Inshallah I look tomorrow morning and we’ve finished 69-2
All in all, not a bad match. We clearly have some issues to work through still, and Ramsdale making another poor decision, but too many positives to worry that much.
We’re still a significant distance away from our best. There are a lot of kinks to iron out before the Community Shield. The new players need to click before then. Last season was rare before Jesus and Zinchenko gelled with the team quite quickly.
Second half starting,
ESR minutes, LFG!
What a fucking beauty that would have been from Saka…
Did… the ref just jab ESR in the back? Not hard, but confusing.
It was confusing. I think he was trying to get to Partey.
LEONARD D’TROSSIO
WHAT A GOAL
Timber playing left back is such an odd decision. Especially as he was shite against United. I hope Tierney gets some minutes.
Fully agree, Tierney showed great direct play against Utd.
I want to see Tierney’s pace against Dembele.
ESR has looked really really good. It’s like this new role was made for him.
All eyes on Vieira 👀
Yeah but he seems to bring so little intensity.
Presently I feel that he’s not a bad player, just a bad fit for us.
I_am_the_grassI wonder if he might be a surprise exit late in the window if we get all the targets we want. He seems like such a passenger most games. Especially as the backup to Odegaard which is vital.
Doubt it, Arteta seems insistent that he can make Vieira a thing. I imagine come the end of the season, Edu will force a conclusion.
Jorginho, Kiwior and Tierney on.
Tierney vs Dembele, I NEED THAT. WE NEED THAT!
ESR looks good. Trossard looks good. Our defence needs some chemistry though.
Sure not a foul…
little_nigglefuck, missed most of the game… we look pretty decent from what im seeing
Yeah. This is the kinda performance we’ve all wanted to see.
