I imagine Iwobi will sit. I also think we'll see Xhaka/Elneny partnership again which I like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look like you were right. Zero rotation other than Xhaka replacing an injured Coquelin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ljkeane Posted September 28, 2016 Share Posted September 28, 2016 Having just said I'm struggling to muster much interest in the Champions League this year PSG and Barcelona losing and City apparently struggling to deal with Celtic does make me a little interested in catching the highlights.

Philokles Posted September 28, 2016 Share Posted September 28, 2016 BT do show a Champions League match a week on free to view tv. Bayern currently being punished by Atleti for the same sort of mistakes they've somehow got away with so far in the Bundesliga. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mexal Posted September 28, 2016 Share Posted September 28, 2016 Arsenal had some serious football porn moves in today's match against Basel. It's just unfortunate that Sanchez has the yips and missed 9 million opportunities. Still, good performance coming off of the Chelsea thrashing.

A Horse Named Stranger Posted September 28, 2016 Share Posted September 28, 2016 Interesting games and results. Esp. the Barcelona Group. Well played Celtic. Also kudos to Gladbach for making Barca really work for their points today. I also did not expect PSV to drop points in Russia. And Kiev driving home with one.

Consigliere Posted September 29, 2016 Share Posted September 29, 2016 Man, that was a horrible game. I even fell off to sleep at one point. Worst game of football I've seen this season. At least we won though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raja Posted September 30, 2016 Share Posted September 30, 2016 Leaving this here for the gooners, and everyone else, Pires on AW, CL Final and Villareal. His memories of Paris are rather painful to read! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calibandar Posted September 30, 2016 Share Posted September 30, 2016 What I loved about that link is the compilation of his Arsenal goals. What an amazing player he was, and that in a team with Thierry Henry. It's very clear that both United and Arsenal despite all the acquisitions don't have nowhere near as good a team now as they did in those days a decade ago. You sometimes forget how excellent they were, Arsenal was a joy to watch in the Bergkamp days. As for Pires, watching those goals, it seems like he wasn't even capable of scoring one that wasn't beautiful. His flair, ball control and the certainty of his shot really stand out to me, he had a very clean, hard shot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rorshach Posted September 30, 2016 Author Share Posted September 30, 2016 I'm nervous about tonight. We've got the players to punish Palace, but they've got the players to punish us as well. And while I sort of like Oviedo, he looked well short of match fitness vs Bournemouth, and our left side suffered greatly. Everything we pulled off in that match came on the right. We need to change that, and that means Oviedo needs to step up. Oh, and btw: Pulis for England. Perfect fit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Complaining that Phil Jagielka handballed it and so Everton shouldn't have had a freekick. He handballed it because he'd raised his hands to protect himself from the high foot flying at his face, you fucking cretin. Was about to say the same. Dipshits. Why are so many commentators cretins?

Yea, but the offside wasn't called on Delaney but the guy who tried to head in the ball that Delaney headed it. That guy was offsides when Delaney headed it.

Iskaral Pust Posted October 1, 2016 Share Posted October 1, 2016 Great free kick by Lukaku and very good header by Benteke. With both sides having a recent run of wins, settling for a draw feels like they both lose some momentum. But both sides picked up those wins against Stoke, Boro and Sunderland so not a big shock that playing a team in form was more of a challenge. At least a draw is less of a momentum killer than a loss. For Everton though, that's two losses and draw in their last three after such a good start. They need to regain some form after the international break. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
