GWT: 2021-22 PL Matchweek 1

[The Abusement Park]

Lol

no one competing on that.

what’s with bees and this commentator tho? Any connection to brentford

Yeah they're nicknamed the Bees and it's the main part of their crest.

Guy had his arms wrapped around Leno....

Leno had a fist full of the brentford players jersey too.

 

[bluesfan94]

Tierney needs to take a touch

 

[KJS14]

They're never called against.

Interfering with the GK is definitely regularly called. They let it go between defenders/attackers usually.

Not that it's an excuse for the pathetic defending by us, but he literally had his arm wrapped around Leno's back/left arm.

 

[booyakasha]

Chelsea and Man City next...
Guess our goal differential?

 

[HoseEmDown]

Paging @AB 13, awful quite today.

 

[Duchene2MacKinnon]

Is this joke

Nope had no idea what their crest looks like. Why would I lol

 

[Wee Baby Seamus]

The solace here for Arsenal is that Saka and ESR are both sick as hell

 

[ecemleafs]

arsenal wud be competitive if they had a prime henry, bergkamp, vieira, campbell, and toure in the side.

 

[phisherman]

Because EPL is the most important league! How dare you not know that!

 

[Buck Dancer]

Arsenal are playing at the image of their bench boss… completely clueless.

 

[Duchene2MacKinnon]

He got back from Japan a week ago. He was fantastic, then he got hurt. Give him more than 60 minutes

He barely played there tbf

To bad the rest of the team is terminally ill.

Yea, top class players I'm high on going forward as well.

 

[Live in the Now]

I wouldn’t prematurely judge White. Fee was completely ridiculous but he isn’t bad or anything. Guy is playing with trash.

 

[robertmac43]

It's only one game so we can't judge how the season will go, but it would also hardly be the first player Arsenal has bought only to completely misuse.

Yeah, that was my one hesitancy with the signing from Whtie's end. He often played on the right side of a back 3 with Webster and Dunk alongside him, or in a back 4 with Burn as an LB that would often come more central in defense.

A back 4 with Gabriel and Chambers on either side of him is.....unideal.

 

[bluesfan94]

He barely played there tbf

Sure, but he hasn't been in training.

 

[Blender]

I just realized how much Brentford has raided Denmark for talent.

 

[ecemleafs]

arsenal shud be told they are allowed to win headers and mark the opposition in their own box

 

[booyakasha]

Arsenal down 2 goals, and still play possesion back to the keeper.
LOL

 

[Wee Baby Seamus]

It's just funny because there are so many nicknames that are on the surface inexplicable (Toffees, magpies, Hornets, etc) and Brentford's is one of the few that's actually related to their crest

 

[robertmac43]

You mean he's not supposed to look like prime Sol Campbell playing between Chambers and Mari?

Haha yeah exactly.

At the end of the day, it's game 1 for White. I think he will prove to be a really good signing over time.

100%.

 

[Buck Dancer]

But he wasn’t necessary when we had Saliba just begging for a shot, who’s as good, if not better.

 

[KJS14]

But he wasn’t necessary when we had Saliba just begging for a shot, who’s as good, if not better.

So we would have played Saliba with Mari and Chambers, and then you guys would have said he was trash after 60min?

Edit: And this isn't me saying that we shouldn't have kept Saliba for the season. We needed him AND a signing.
