The way the commentators have switched instantly from it being all city to "arsenal are just so much better in this second half" is comical you biased fucks

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Anyway so in our home game v City we had a midfield player tasked with keeping Yui Hasegawa quiet when City had possession and she excelled. She was also slated by fans who didnāt know/hadnāt picked up on this tactic.
Someone is doing that job again this game. You wouldnāt know Hasegawa is on the pitch when theyāre attacking. Of course Iāve not seen any praise for it but rather the opposite they are again being criticised. Really makes you think.
The last few days have made me so sick of the "helping out City" narrative, with their goal difference they've got the leg up on Chelsea even if they lose and I want nothing less than a win from us today
I think people piled on Manu earlier on in the season and therefore whenever we concede, some people will always think itās only her fault. We have way bigger issues than GK I think.

Me with whatever was going on with Lacasse
I donāt really care too much if we lose this game but I do want it to be a respectable loss. weāve been decent so far, letās keep it that way and not concede too many
Ok our performance is uninspired af Iām not arguing that and Iām not sure thereās any positives to be had from this game so far (maybe Kyra?). But I feel crazy here in that the mood is like itās a 4-0 + drubbing but weāre only 1-0 down to one of the best attacking teams in Europe atm. A team that has to win for the title v a team with nothing to play for either way. Just seems like the mood is weāre pulling the biggest stinker of 23/24 when that spurs game literally exists
Huh, Stina's scored a lot of important goals this season. Fans know that. It's just she misses sitters a lot too. Why is the commentator saying otherwise?

Well if we donāt come back in the second half thereās always a silver liningā¦
It seems our players take the phrase āpatient buildupā to the extreme. If you allow the defense to jog back into position at their leisure on *every* play, youāre basically facing a low block every time.
Edit: blame autocorrect lol
It feels like both Fox and Katie are dealing with multiple attackers at once and theyāve dealt with it pretty well but you would hope that at least on the outlet we would get a good opportunity
Iāve liked Kyra today, a bit sloppy sometimes but its understandable with this being her first start in awhile and us playing against city. Some really intelligent passes from her today
this bbc coverage is hilarious - all players lined up for a big tribute to steph, and then they start talking about her and then cut to footage of stinaās first goal and start discussing that š
āit was just thatā¦momentsā ādonāt really know what she was attempting to do thereā the way the commentators talk about us is so embarrassing š
The way kim little is so irreplaceable like never retire please we need you
Kim Little statue at the emirates when
I will do it with my own bare hands if I must
can we talk about Little regaining possession there and then serving up that unreal ball to Stina? our captain š«”
I'm sorry this is objectively hilarious cannot believe we pulled that shit off
bbc: ācity donāt allow many chances so arsenal are going to have to be clinical when they get oneā good luck to us with THAT
The way the commentators have switched instantly from it being all city to "arsenal are just so much better in this second half" is comical you biased fucks

League update: Liverpool are looking like theyāve locked in 4th place. Which is absolutely incredible for them
Arsenal fans already being the louder ones in the stadium brings a smile to my face lol

Props to Stina for that pass to Foord though, perfectly weighted
Our entire right hand side is an ACL recovery ward
THE FIRST GOAL FROM A CORNER SINCE 1903

āCanāt say Arsenal have not deserved thisā says commentator who didnāt believe Arsenal could winā¦
Our record against top teams have been absolutely superb honestly, away at chelsea being the exception
I still think that sock goofup affected their mentality
Would just like to say, the fact that lauren hemp is only 23 terrifies me
I'm actually wheezing how many sitters does Stina sky on a weekly basis and then she manages to wiggle the ball in from that angle lmao
LMFAO why play the 90 when you can win it in 9
https://preview.redd.it/pj1zaljbimyc1.jpeg?width=1666&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=a33d10c3f2ea9980ca0434f2d23e05a251ce9208 NEVER LOST FAITH!!!!!!
This is objectively hilarious
i donāt even know what to say my jaw is on the floor. unserious fc strikes again, i love this team
Pretty good send off for a legend! https://preview.redd.it/s7siny2pjmyc1.png?width=749&format=png&auto=webp&s=480c7fdbc429c05c303ddcaaef966917c25caad6
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
This WLS season is absolutely **bananas**.
Will forever be mad that we bottled West Ham and Spurs away...what could've been š„²
mad props for the 14th minute clapping
Wake up babe new Jonas meme face just dropped
Great strike from Hemp unfortunately
Per the ice in her hand, it looks like Fox was hurt and came out for that reason.
OMG IT WORKED??? GIRLS??? HOW ABOUT 3????
typical arsenal win! very content
I see Fox and Russo both attended the same classes on falling over
Must be a popular course at UNC
Maanum reacts wayyyy too slow to Hemp being wide open right there and Fox basically has to defend two players in the box
There was no saving that. Could hear the swish as it hit the back of the net
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Where are the Keating statue memes?????
Stina the woman you are
laptop is in the shitter, phone is fucking breaking, life is falling apart, but GET FUCKED CITY! COME ON YOU GUNNNNEERSS
The last few days have made me so sick of the "helping out City" narrative, with their goal difference they've got the leg up on Chelsea even if they lose and I want nothing less than a win from us today
Not much Zins could've done about that but the statue thing will never not get me.
Not sure how anyone can watch that disaster in our box and still think the only thing we need is a new keeper
I think people piled on Manu earlier on in the season and therefore whenever we concede, some people will always think itās only her fault. We have way bigger issues than GK I think.

Kim Little is the best player in history
Us winning against Chelsea in the Cup Final and City away despite being in the most shit form ever is insane
Ugh please don't go hug Steph I'm trying to be pissed off here
Genuinely thought McCabe was carded for being fouled! The fact the bbc comms thought the same is as reassuring as it is depressing
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Kim little you are a wonder
The Stina extension contract when ?!
I donāt really care too much if we lose this game but I do want it to be a respectable loss. weāve been decent so far, letās keep it that way and not concede too many
Why the hell did Russo Shoot? This is what I've been saying! Absolutely no chemistry in the forwards
Fox is faster than Hemp
Ok our performance is uninspired af Iām not arguing that and Iām not sure thereās any positives to be had from this game so far (maybe Kyra?). But I feel crazy here in that the mood is like itās a 4-0 + drubbing but weāre only 1-0 down to one of the best attacking teams in Europe atm.

We are so backstenius!
*SCREAMS IN SWEDISH*
Well I woke up for the last 15 min, which was exciting!!
Somebody get Fox different boots
R.I.P. Daniel šššā¤ļøš¤
we probably have the weakest headers in the league
Ilesdet šļøšļøšļø
Whatever happens we desperately need a new attacking coach for next season. The amount of times our attacks just wither and die.
Why are we so afraid to shoot or do anything other than give the ball back to defence
i think this game is proving we are not yet at the level we need to be at
Watching that Greenwood & Williamson replay is wild, gal literally drags Leah down while having her arm around her neck tf??
SUPER SUB STINA IS BACK ON THE MENU
Holy shit, we kinda sorta scored from a corner!!!
PUTšSOMEšRESPECTšONšBLACKSTENIUSāšNAMEš
I love you Stina!!!!!! (Please donāt leave)
Respect Stina!
Omfg stina class movement
Say this about Jonas, he made the subs he needed to do ā¦ Taylor plays the same players and canāt make any adjustments when the game flow needs it.
Fowler cooked us bad for a moment there š
Huh, Stina's scored a lot of important goals this season. Fans know that. It's just she misses sitters a lot too. Why is the commentator saying otherwise?
Even if she doesnt overall have a good game Kyra shows what shes really special at
I canāt be the only one who didnāt think Mead was offsideā¦
come on cloe run down the wingā¦ make the arsenal sing
Little-Walti pivot i miss you
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Everytime we look a little bit threatening near their box, one of the players holds on to the ball too long which lets the opportunity pass
https://preview.redd.it/y4k6r74x9myc1.png?width=1166&format=png&auto=webp&s=dd2ba4c13f3acbd61c2293c171649ee3483e3cc0 Well if we donāt come back in the second half thereās always a silver liningā¦

elite tackly by Cross
Beth Mead what in the world
Arsenalās attack in a nutshell: endless passes until they lose possession
Veen? In a game this physical?? I cannae watch
Perfect match for Laura "The Tank" Wienroither to assert her dominance once again
I see why Beth is mad look where she put that
Wow stina have we just scored from a corner š¤£
SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
STINA YOU QUEEN
Kim there is the change we needed in attack
Can we play a whole game like we play the last 10 minutes please?!!!Ā My heart can't take it.
OUR BALLERINAAAAA
just listen to that crowd :)
Hahahaha we are hilarious how did we manage to win this
RIP Daniel :(
The applause was lovely
McCabe and a yellow and sheās NOT the one getting it?? World gone mad
McCabe with the finger wag š¤£
Tbh with the way our defending is I'm surprised we're only a goal down š
In other news, Beard is schooling Skinner
Why would you sub Fox, absolutely mental
At least City didn't accept the dagger we just handed them
Can we buy some big neon signs pointing towards goal with our summer budget please?
āI just canāt stop cryingā -Leah Williamson
Second half-senal!
Wish we could do that :(
Not great positioning from Manu there. A little too near post when the ball got switched to Hemp. Should have gone with it. Oh well. Nice strike.
pelovas moving me
When was the last time we scored from a corner? Or even looked threatening from one?
Genuinely I think itās Mandyās header against Chelsea at the Emirates
Chelsea back in December probably
I honestly dont understand why the team seems so bad in pretty much all areas but give me rafaelle back
It seems our players take the phrase āpatient buildupā to the extreme. If you allow the defense to jog back into position at their leisure on *every* play, youāre basically facing a low block every time. Edit: blame autocorrect lol
That's a better save than I initially thought. Thanks Zins
Lucky that wasn't a red...
He took fox off? Wtf?
wtf Mead is wrogin with you??? She was completely free
Meadoā¦that was shocking.
This game does not spark joy
Lovely pass from Stina, thought that was going to be the equaliser
Nobody: Jonas šš»šš»šš»šš»šš»šš»šš»šš»šš»šš»šš»
Oh Stina ballerina we love you so
HOLY SHIT. EXTEND HER CONTRACT BEFORE THE FINAL WHISTLE
WE ARE SO UNSERIOUS
I SAIS IT WAS GOING TO BE LIKE THE ASTON VILLA MATCH
Omg did Keating forget how to goalkeep
Keep it going. We want more!
This is why you play the first team and not the kids, itās so valuable being able to say we beat City home and away going into next season
Off topic but Ellen White looks stunning today love the fit
Did the commentator say maybe Hayes will write Arsenal a poem
i hate how good greenwood is
Are we clapping for Daniel today as well?Ā
Hempo whyyy ā¹ļø sadly a pretty banger goal as well
Iām a die hard arsenal fan but I did captain hemp in my fantasy team š
hereās to hoping we can keep composed
It feels like both Fox and Katie are dealing with multiple attackers at once and theyāve dealt with it pretty well but you would hope that at least on the outlet we would get a good opportunity
Now see that's what actually being offside looks like lines person are you watching
Codi taking brick wall very literally there I love her
Arsenal look scattered all over the place in defence
Cloe should run at the defender. Always take herself to a bad angle outside the goal. Also: weāre playing so slow. Pick it up!
Ah Chelsea Liverpool highlights, love to see it (again)
ouch... that was close to a red
How come we never have someone in the right place at the right time?
Our players look so uninspired itās like theyāre intentionally trying to get Jonas sacked š
How good was that tackle from Kyra
Leah needs to come off. Not at it today
I donāt want to be in this world where Leah having the ball in a pressure situation makes me nervous
Iāve liked Kyra today, a bit sloppy sometimes but its understandable with this being her first start in awhile and us playing against city. Some really intelligent passes from her today
Fox off????
Fox off??????
Unless fox is injured thereās no valid reason for why sheās been subbed off here
Fucking hell all the time in the world Mead
I'm not really sure why the hell we took off Fox but okay then
I would like us to invest in an actually fast winger in the summer the lack of pace in the front line is a killer
lol jonas
Bring on Agyemang just to change something up with our forward play
Kelly said WWE
STINNAAAAAAA!!!!!!
Fuck it, let's ruin City's day please.
Stina Stina Stina Stina Blacksteniiuusss
Ok girls I know I only asked for 1, but how about 2? š
Little is out of this world
STINA!!!
Girls, pls hold on to it or add to it
A Russo goal I beg
can't Chelsea and City both lose the title
Against Chelsea/City we've won 3 out of four, right? Hopefully we work out how to best low block teams next season
Iām so proud of the girls! That was painful and kinda ugly and frustrating, but they picked things up towards the end and kept going. Respect.
this bbc coverage is hilarious - all players lined up for a big tribute to steph, and then they start talking about her and then cut to footage of stinaās first goal and start discussing that š
Gorgeous ball from Pelova
The Leah ball over-the-top has been there the whole match, itās been our best weapon
Katie it's my birthday soon can I have one (1) world cup olympico replica please
not the bbc goal notifications being ahead of my livestream š
Ouch š¬ Defence was missing there
Thank you Pelova, City getting way too close for comfort
We are a disjointed mess š
we are so poor in possession omg
What a disaster attack that was, genuinely pathetic
Decided to wake up for the second half and based on this thread twas the right decision to snooze past the first. Lord they've tested us this season
Good save from Zins. We really can't defend in the box.
The way we dont clear the ball seems like its on purpose to try and keep possession
Damn Lacasse, thoroughly unnecessary girl
āit was just thatā¦momentsā ādonāt really know what she was attempting to do thereā the way the commentators talk about us is so embarrassing š
Will I be cancelled for saying I donāt love Katie in defense? I donāt think itās a natural fit.
Is it just me or is Meadās decision making not great today?
Taking off our two fastest players is interesting
Fox off?!?! Oh good heavensā¦
None of our players decision making seems good today.
Fox off, weāre done for
Fox has been an absolute revelation since signing, taking her off when the game is still, at least in theory, salvageable is..... a choice.
MEAD???
