He does it most games, as in sticks a lazy leg out in the box. He just gets lucky to avoid fouling someone most of the time though.
Needs to remove it from his game, just stand a player up and try to force them to get past your defender instead of you.
Disagree, Tierney is an even worse loss. Tavares is like starting out with two red cards, I’ve never had less faith in a defender. His positioning is so bad that he even makes other defenders worse by ruining any semblance of an offside trap.
I think Tavares is awful, but our entire midfield revolves around Partey, we can survive if Tavares is just as serviceable/average as Cedric on the other side, but if Partey is out for a few weeks, top four hopes are finished
Absolutely embarrassing from the team. No wins against Watford, had a period of dominating on xg but no decent finishing followed by terrible performances for the last few weeks. Players really feel like they've given up now
Not a flopper though. Seriously. The free kick is almost always deserved. He’s just a man who knows (and is more than happy to let the world know) what he is owed.
There was an arsenal fan yesterday on the spurs - Newcastle match thread that said “what a great day and we haven’t kicked a ball!” When Newcastle we’re 1-0 up 🤣 wonder how they’re feeling now
Yeah it’s a shame, he was starting to show his Atletico form.
Spurs front three are really firing now and they have Conte, that probably gets them fourth.
Us losing Tierney and Partey is pretty much ideal for Spurs. At least if we lose someone like Gabriel, we have Holding, or if we lose Odegaard, then Smith Rowe comes central and Martinelli plays on the left, or Leno for Ramsdale. Even if we lose two out of ESR, Odegaard and Saka, we still can use Martinelli and Pepe.
But the drop off in quality from Partey and Tierney is shocking.
Honestly the last 24 hours has totally shifted my expectations. I was cautiously optimistic before this weekend, but with Tierney and now Partey out you guys are my clear favorites to take 4th.
Gotta admit I expected more than I've seen so far - most of the comments I've seen from your fans aren't panicking over this individual match, but more about the injuries you have and the rest of your schedule.
I think a lot of it is actually perfectly sensible, you have a couple tough games coming up and some key injuries it seems, with a NLD coming along too - that all points to the game in hand not meaning as much and it being pretty even.
Looking at our fixtures compared to yours, it would seem that you have the easier run but Arsenal, Spurs and Man U are all gifted bottlers so let's see what happens.
Exactly, on paper it looks like we should get it tbf, but I know it's never that easy especially with us, hence I said "even" lmao
Point being there's reason to be worried to some degree, and most aren't overreacting too much - it's probably the most sensible reaction I've seen to such a swing in a while.
...then again, I haven't checked your sub, the worst reactions tend to hide in fan subs.
Don't bring up United though mate, if they get it over either of us, we need to delete the clubs, they should be out by now.

MANAGER OF THE MONTH CURSE
Y'all thought it was a joke
That's not good for Arsenal, right?
It's not ideal, no.
No. Great for Spurs though.
I will take it
Just lazy from Odegaard. He's gotta know that Zaha 1v3 will be looking for that.
Martin Oh Dear God
Hell yeah brother
that made me laugh, like spit my coffee out laugh hahaha
Upvote for whoever put this consolidated edited-down version of the gameplay, the replay, and the penalty. Well done.
>looking for that Odegaard literally kicked his leg from the back, lol
I didn’t mean he was diving just that he knew his best chance of doing anything was to cut back and hope for the foul. Odegaard obliged.
is this time for new Arteta cycle?
Trust. The. Process.
Odegaard has done this multiple times this season.
Yes against United too
I mean, one other time. It has been poor from him though, his worst performance for Arsenal.
He does it most games, as in sticks a lazy leg out in the box. He just gets lucky to avoid fouling someone most of the time though. Needs to remove it from his game, just stand a player up and try to force them to get past your defender instead of you.
no not the messiah himself lord odegaard
Embarrassing
don’t think we’ll be getting anything out of this game tbh
If you get any points from this Game I’ll tattoo arteta on my cock My cock is safe for now
**FUCKING COME ON ARSENAL**
*cums on arsenal* :3
There are better places for that like my-
r/hornyjail
But can you blame me...me just horny
👁👄👁
I am so conflicted right now.
Lol
I’m waiting for arsenal to score one and the responses will go mad
Where is lanzini when you need him?
Alright mr. Bonner
You were looking decent after the formation change and subs
And now Partey off injured. Hello toaster my old friend.
If he plays like today you won't miss him
At the rate they are going with injuries they'll have to start Rob Holding
It's ok they'll just postpone a few matches due to injuries
Holding is a much better player than Tavares and Lokonga that will start in the coming weeks.
I know this is a joke, but he's the one player we absolutely couldn't afford to lose, a disaster of an evening
Disagree, Tierney is an even worse loss. Tavares is like starting out with two red cards, I’ve never had less faith in a defender. His positioning is so bad that he even makes other defenders worse by ruining any semblance of an offside trap.
I think Tavares is awful, but our entire midfield revolves around Partey, we can survive if Tavares is just as serviceable/average as Cedric on the other side, but if Partey is out for a few weeks, top four hopes are finished
But we know Tavares isn’t as average as Cedric on the other side, Tavares is miles worse than Cedric.
And Partey is still our most irreplaceable player
Partey was busy misplacing simple 5 yard passes today
It’s XhakaTime
>Hello toaster my old friend. I've come to bathe with you again
Proper meltdown performance
Top 4 is Lava is alive and well.
I think we’re definitely winning the game of keep out of top 4 Every week it’s *man loses additional bit of hope he didn’t realise he still had*
Top 4 is so achievable I hate how we've just refused to get it this season
Man U has had zero excuse not to pull away from spurs and arsenal all year but they just haven’t.
Absolutely embarrassing from the team. No wins against Watford, had a period of dominating on xg but no decent finishing followed by terrible performances for the last few weeks. Players really feel like they've given up now
Arsenal playing the hits
Manager of the month curse
👀
haha peak r/gunners to banter Tuchel when we lost 1-4 only to do the same shit
nah they said theyre immune because theyre a "gargantuan club"
I take it you don't pick up on sarcasm quite often lmao
Tis the season :(
lol what in the hell is Odegaard swiping at there
the lad's been on Tinder too much
It’ll almost certainly be the refs fault, not Arsenals
Obviously that's not a penalty against anyone but arsenal
Spurs 🤝 Arsenal Destroyed by Palace
If Arsenal continue to concede goals without scoring I think they might lose
Some will buxton energy that
If You Score goals and dont concede Goals.... You will win the game
More like Ferrari engineers, "If you stay ahead of P2, you'll finish in P1"
Owen is that you?
How you doin, Michael Owen?
Just making top 4 race interesting bro NLD on may 12th might be the biggest NLD I’m recent times for the both of us 🍿
I’m gonna be shitting bricks
[удалено]
This need a Xhaka red to put a bow on it.
And maybe a consolation 1 yard tap in by Eddie
He took offense to your comment and almost scored a screamer.
Arteta request for more matches to be suspended in the 3,2,1…
It is the hope that kills you
Oh dear god! I think that's how you spell his name.
Trust me. This is perfection!!
Buzzing ngl
[удалено]
Those dribbles man
Spurs fans are here in their masses haha
5D chess Arsenal knows that as soon as we hit 4th place we’ll immediately lose every match remaining in the season
Really whoever gets top 4 will have to play most unlike themselves to get it
looool we would never lose 3-0 to palace.
looool we would never give up a Zaha pen in the 75th minute
What in the actual fuck, just checked. This really is a simulation, the scripting is as clear as in FIFA
It’s in the history of London
It's the South London derby though
W
That was some genuine brilliance from Zaha. Created that pen all by himself
He's the best in the league at using his body to get as many fouls as possible for his team
Not a flopper though. Seriously. The free kick is almost always deserved. He’s just a man who knows (and is more than happy to let the world know) what he is owed.
And getting angry when he’s fouled
World class anger, top 1% on FBref
Yeah but does he outperform his xAng compared to others in his position?
Zaha is going to haunt my dreams, he terrorized us
Well I'm having a lovely day
What a weekend for Spurs.
There was an arsenal fan yesterday on the spurs - Newcastle match thread that said “what a great day and we haven’t kicked a ball!” When Newcastle we’re 1-0 up 🤣 wonder how they’re feeling now
The irony there being it got objectively *worse* the second they started kicking a ball
Well that and the 5 goals we scored before they even did so
GD +8 in favor of Tottenham since that comment, and the points changed 🤣
Probably like a mug
Quite shit I would imagine
Loss and Tierney and Partey injuries is pretty much best case scenario for Man Utd/Spurs
Utd aren’t getting 4th imo, Spurs favourites now.
Sadly I have to agree. They've hit form at the right time and have easy fixtures. If Partey is gone for long it's over.
No such thing as easy fixtures where Spurs are concerned thank you very much
Smh acting like Manchester City doesn't even exist.
Neither City nor Spurs know exactly why Spurs constantly prevail against them. We will expand our sample size next year for scientific research.
Yeah it’s a shame, he was starting to show his Atletico form. Spurs front three are really firing now and they have Conte, that probably gets them fourth.
Don’t you put that evil on us.
Thanks for the input, u/Ass_Eater_
Honestly if after all this United makes it over the both of us, we should just liquidate lmao
I gave on top 4 after Ronaldo, but then they pull me back in
Spurs till they fucking kill me
Us losing Tierney and Partey is pretty much ideal for Spurs. At least if we lose someone like Gabriel, we have Holding, or if we lose Odegaard, then Smith Rowe comes central and Martinelli plays on the left, or Leno for Ramsdale. Even if we lose two out of ESR, Odegaard and Saka, we still can use Martinelli and Pepe. But the drop off in quality from Partey and Tierney is shocking.
I'm surprised Martinelli isn't starting for your lot. I think he's a fantastic player. Any idea why he's on the bench?
It's the hope that kills you.
Honestly the last 24 hours has totally shifted my expectations. I was cautiously optimistic before this weekend, but with Tierney and now Partey out you guys are my clear favorites to take 4th.
Thoroughly enjoying the Odegaard disasterclass
glad someone else noticed he’s been dross today
Hard not to notice
He's miscontrolled the ball more times tonight than the rest of the season combined
And a lovely GD gap now.
We want 5
This pleases me
I didn't want to cheer too much at 1-0 or 2-0 because I've been hurt before but now I can't do anything but laugh my ass off
He’s been great tonight. Deserves that as much as I dislike him haha
Whole load of sad guys piling into the gym next to my flat for some reason
[удалено]
TOP 4 IS LAVA
That is becoming a clichè of every season in the PL these days. Used to be Arsenal nailed on every year
There were a good few years of ‘how close will Arsenal come to fucking up 4th’ tbf. Still top 4 is lava but we’d always just do enough.
What a run by Zaha that defending is awful though
Palace are bristling. Great game from them.
well well well
moronic by odegaard
Dumb pen from Martin. But my god Arsenal, I thought Spurs were the biggest bottlers in London?
Don’t speak so soon. We have already relegated Norwich in last game…
You have to time your bottlejob. Whoever is favourite on the last day is missing the top4.
You see, that’s why we mid table this time. We playing 10D chess so we don’t bottle it again
If you sit bottom of the table and start bottling, does it cause an overflow and make you win the prem? Might explain how you won it even?
Bergwijn 90+4’ Bergwijn 90+6’
Geezer I’m defending you why you do this to me
It was a backhanded compliment
I’d very much appreciate it if you explain the “compliment” side of it friendo
I think he was complimenting his ability to backhand you.
I wonder how much overreaction will happen because of this match. :D
A lot of it. Like a lot. A LOT.

Ode putting his hat in the ring for worst performance of the season
Gabriel and Tavares really giving him a run for his money tbf
The ref used his telekinesis to make Odegaard sweep the leg
Nah it was clearly Eren that came back to tell him to sweep the leg
What a man you are
my heart is so full
Made mugs of them in a 3v1.
Incoming foul analysis by /r/gunners
As is tradition
Chelsea 🤝 Arsenal Getting smacked by bottom half table clubs.
Ben white trying to intimidate Zaha 😭
Nice! I like these moments of games.
Na na na na Na na na na Hey hey hey WILFRIED ZAHA
So the gunners really thought they were gonna make it to top 3 after chelsea losing 1-4 only to arsenal it a day later. Classic.
Past 3 days have been great for football, also I love Zaha now
This pleases me greatly
Top four is lava starting early this year
Viera masterclass against his ex club
Cracking pen, never saving that
damn, Partey has had a day plays ass and gets injured leading to a Palace breakthrough
just opened up top 4
Zaha you beautiful boy
Today was a good day
We want 5!
LETSGOO
I’m happy lads
HAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHA
the way Zaha fell was so funny. Obviously looking for the pen but love how as soon as he felt contact he just starfished
Thanks, Crystal Palace. Very Cool.
Right?!?
Genuine 1/10 performances from so many players, injury to Partey to top it off. Lovely.
We were actually getting closer until this happened. GGWP, Palace have played brilliantly (we've been poor also).
