Sheff U vs Arsenal

Post by FactualFrank » Mon Oct 21, 2019 6:12 pm

First scorer? Only rule is you can't go for someone who's already been picked from another poster.

I fancy Sheffield United to go 1-0 up, so going to have a punt on Norwood.

Whilst Aubemeyang is bang in form, i'm going leftfield and going for Norwood.

If that is not a penalty, how the hell was Chris Wood's goal a trip? There is contact minimal as it is. Nonesense. There was more contact there then on Evans.

Will somebody educate me?
Why do players line up in a line from the edge of the area, through the pen spot, to the 6yd line?
If you line up for the flight of the ball you have two or three players who have a chance of getting on it. T’other way you only have one and the taker has to have his length perfect.
How many times does it sail over everyone in the box.

For a free-kick or corner. Attacking team or defending team?

If the small touch on the Arsenal forward is deemed to not be a foul why on earth was Chris Woods even smaller contact given as a foul?
(I know I should let Saturday's game go by now, but the inconsistency irritates me - even though VAR was not involved this time).

That was some stat then. Sheffield not lost a game where they’ve been leading at half time since 2014. It’s almost unbelievable

Because the decision on Chris Wood was a monumental cock-up. There’s no point comparing it to decisions in other games where clear fouls aren’t penalised because you’ll be spending most of your life doing it.

Corners but to a lesser extent FKs.
Arsenal totally blew one just before HT but I see it from most teams so there must be some coaches corner thinking behind it.

I’ve not been as incensed by a decision in some time. It’s far easier to take a referee or assistant making a mistake than getting a decision so wrong with the use of technology.

They’re poor. The difference when we played them was that they had Aubameyang. Wouldn’t surprise me if he popped up with a goal out of nowhere to rescue a point here.

I have tuned in for 2nd half. Arsenal looked like they must be 4 up, as they spent 5 mins messing around at the back, going nowhere.

Then I spotted the score!

If Dier is Spurs, then Dire is Arsenal!

Arsenal haven’t won a Premier League away game they’ve been losing at half time since 2011.

Is Pepe the biggest waste of £72m in history?

BTW we had Almiron make his excellent debut against us and he’s done nothing since and Ceballos was excellent against us and hasn’t had another good game.

Make of it what you will, but there was a big discussion on talksport today about VAR, and all the incidents with it from the weekend.

Ours wasn't even mentioned!

Tricky Trevor, guess you’re talking zonal in which case that will be decide on the training ground and maybe tweaked in the dressing room. The beauty of that for a attacking team is that you can tactically flood an area or base your dead ball attacks accordingly.

I hate how they wheel out the winning manager and try and ascertain just how did they beat the mighty Arsenal.

Same when we beat Chelsea or Man UTD in the 09/10 season, as though how dare we beat these teams.

Sheff United played very well.
He’s a good manager and very similar to Burnley they all know their roles and the system he wants to play.
Really pleased for Norwood - local lad who loves playing and has worked really hard to get where he is. He’s had plenty of ups and downs in his career but always worked hard.

Will be interesting when we play them - their defensive record is excellent. Will be a tough game for us.
