Unusually poor at the back from us.
Martinelli needed that
Loving Trossard’s energy
Martinelli! Great spot with Timber’s cross, great finish.
Thought that was going in from Kai, ngl.
No way Vardy should have gotten a freekick for that. He tries to milk that and win the freekick
Leo!! Perfect finish. Martinelli having a great game so far!
Finally, Nelli gets a goal.
Nelli!!!
Get in!!
Shocked that’s not a yellow.
TBH, should have been a yellow for Havertz on the American football style tackle, so maybe we can be okay with it going uncalled.
PACMAN SCORES AGAIN WAKAWAKA
Raya
Saliba
Magalhaes
Timber
Calafiori
Rice
Partey
Trossard
Saka
Nelli
Havertz
The lack of consistency in the yellows for delaying a restart is so frustrating. More bullshit from the refs “we have to call it” and then ignoring the next one.
They only seem to want to call it when it’s a) an Arsenal player and b) that player is already on a yellow. I swear they’re getting bonuses for sending players off this season.
No Benny Blanco? Dark Arts FC feeling empty today.
