Deeg67 Posted 28 April 2019 Posted 28 April 2019 I'm trying to remember the last time I saw one of the big boys totally bossed for an entire half by a smaller side like that, and coming up blank. It's pretty rare at the very least.
Crinklyfox Posted 28 April 2019 Posted 28 April 2019 One way traffic. Can't remember when we've looked so dominant.
Kitchandro Posted 28 April 2019 Posted 28 April 2019 Played well but lack a killer instinct. Need to score when you’re on top. For all our possession Albrighton’s pinpoint early balls are still the best thing we do. Choudhury chasing around to win the ball is a very important asset.

Jaspa Posted 28 April 2019 Posted 28 April 2019 Youri's touch has been off but I was saying the same last week before he played Barnes in. It's a good game lacking in the final third. Hopefully one of them games where it bursts to life in the second half
jayfox26 Posted 28 April 2019 Posted 28 April 2019 Great first half just a shame we didnt get a goal. It really is written for Arsenal to shithouse us 1-0. Prob a dodgy peno or something. They have been absolutely terrible and have nothing on the bench and have 10 men. So yeh they are definitely winning 1-0
StriderHiryu Posted 28 April 2019 Posted 28 April 2019 Everything brilliant other than getting the goal. Fortunate sending off in our favour but we were dominant before then too. We do have to keep one eye on the counter attack, though you expect this will be less of an issue in the second half. Regardless of the result today, if we play like that every week I will be a very happy fan. Under Puel we had possession too, but under Rodgers we turn that possession into threatening chances. We should be comfortably ahead really. Very enjoyable watch thus far.
Heart-Shaped Fox Posted 28 April 2019 Posted 28 April 2019 If we fail to win it will be points dropped. We've bossed the game but not taken a chance. Surely we'll win against ten men

TJB-fox Posted 28 April 2019 Posted 28 April 2019 As poor as Arsenal have been, have to give us credit there. Lots of negative comments about Brendan's team selection but got his tactics bang on 1st half. Be great if we could get an early goal and win convincingly!
Bats8711 Posted 28 April 2019 Posted 28 April 2019 Love Hamza Weird to say but I’d prefer the red didn’t happen. we were dominating and I would’ve liked to see how it played out. Now there will be excuses from arsenal and IF we go on to win it won’t feel as good based on the performance. If this were a big game obv I’d feel differently and take the red all day

desertfox2 Posted 28 April 2019 Posted 28 April 2019 Playing them off the park. Everything but the goals.

Sampson Posted 28 April 2019 Posted 28 April 2019 Can't believe we're not 2 or 3 nil up. Playing so well.
Stevosevic Posted 28 April 2019 Posted 28 April 2019 Need to score when we are the better side. Hope that doesn't come back to bite us...

Phube Posted 28 April 2019 Posted 28 April 2019 It's just upsetting that Wolves were 3-0 up by now... we're just missing that cutting edge...
