Game of keeper gaffes.

 

[Jussi]

Bayindir is shite. Though VAR would have overturned that.

 

[Jack Straw]

Didn't realize that Reguilon was back with Spurs.

 

[Paulie Gualtieri]

*unclench*

Sucks that Madders and Sarr are suspended for next round.

 

[The Abusement Park]

Didn’t get to watch the game and was stuck at work. Not that xG is the end all be all, but saw that Tottenham was at .67xG. Was Bayindir that bad?

Yup.

That doesn't really sound right in my mind. But it probably won't be near 4.

 

[Ceremony]

Spuds.

 

[Savant]

Arsenal - Newcastle (second leg at St James)

Tottenham - Liverpool (second leg at Anfield)

This has xG at 2.17-1.41 in United's favor

I didn't watch the game either because I was swamped with work so not sure how much score effects play into that.

 

[S E P H]

I love me some Confused and Afraid United FC. Get destroyed, battle back just to lose again. Beautiful stuff.

 

[HeHateMeFrisbee]

Have never seen a game with finer goalkeeping..

*unclench*

That's going to make things difficult but Bentancur will be back

 

[The Abusement Park]

That was what The Athletics xG was. Like I said, not that xg is the end all be all.

 

[spintheblackcircle]

Spurs have the Cup matches against Liverpool and Tamworth between league matches with Newcastle and Arsenal. I wonder if we see 5 teenagers start against Tamworth?

Trial by fire?

 

[maclean]

Curious how we line up with Nwaneri also out injured now, Havertz still a question mark due to illness, and Odegaard also sick. Would be cool to see some new academy players that have been occasionally making the bench, but I expect a conservative approach from Arteta, and indeed I suppose Newcastle is hardly a team you want to experiment against. Expect an appearance by Sterling then I guess

King Kai is back on top, Tossard and Martinelli are his wingers. Arsenal playing a pretty loaded starting XI.

 

[Savant]

Both these teams badly need a trophy Newcastle should just be trying to beat Arsenal up all game. Arsenal will do the same thing they do every week

 

[S E P H]

Timber HAS to be scoring that. Not good enough there.

So the same thing they do every week?

Thanks, just got back from band practice, glad to see we're not down at least

Spoke too soon

 

[S E P H]

Another reminder that Arsenal could've had Isak lol.

 

[Savant]

Yes / that is fair. They aren’t as used to midweeks this season so didn’t know if they’d keep same intensity though

 

[maclean]

If we just lost this and were out I wouldn't particularly mind. But having to go into a second leg down is going to be a major pain in the ass.

 

[koyvoo]

What a miss hit for Havertz
