Finally got a chance to watch the mini-game and man Fabio’s pass to Jesus was Chef’s Kiss
Odegaard’s goal from last night is my favorite of the recent seasons I think. Beautiful one.
Seconded - what a strike, although I always have a soft spot for goals like Deccers. Nothing like a hectic deflection.
I do appreciate the extra salt in the wound. The feeling that you lost that game because that defender was a millisecond too slow, and just a bit away from a successful block… Good stuff.
They got exceptionally lucky that both Havertz and Saka blew two nailed-on chances, that last few minutes was just the universe righting itself.
@enhancedscurry @OlPatchy2Eyes
We definitely gave them plenty of chances to win…
And another hyper-emotional win for us. Hopefully this settles down asap because I think it cannot be sustained.
Not to mention, Onana getting half a hand to it and just pushing it into the net. I think even if the defender wasn’t there, keeper wasn’t quick enough to get down for that ball. No idea how rice puts so much on it under pressure and doesn’t just sky it hahaha
Nelson fam.
Obviously that was more exciting but without context of the time it was scored or that it was the winner, it’s just a goal off a cleared corner, so it’s just a good strike. I was admiring the buildup and precision to Odegaard’s goal. Martinelli’s assist was a perfectly weighted nutmeg into an ice cold finish. What can I say, I guess I have a type.
I was hoping the United match would provide some highlights I could replay over and over again to hold me over during the international break. It did not disappoint.
Everyone thank @Eabryt for setting this up :D
LOL, saw this screen grab, just now.
Still pissed off at the non penalty. Was it a clear penalty? No. Was it an obvious error? No.
Reminded me of the David Luiz pen/red 2 years ago against Wolves that cost us fourth. That penalty stood with even less contact, and a more obvious dive. The bullshit gaslighting afterwards from MOTD, too!
Just glad it didn’t matter, and that VAR didn’t fuck us with Gabriel’s massive jump lol
@soycapitan451 @GunnersBot that’s what I said! If that bs penalty against wolves was one then this was one for sure!
Good bot!
Fabio Vieira has been a slow burner but I hope this is the point where he completely takes off. He will be a huge player for us I think.
With his last name, he was destined to be huge for us.
This “Nominal fee” for Pepe from Besiktas will be sub-1 million.
Pepe to Besiktas…are we getting anything for it?
Yes we get 140kpw.
Fabrizio Romano said apparently El Ghazi who’s a free agent was at the Emirates yesterday and is in discussions with at least one premier league club. Wonder if it’s United with all the Dutch links lol.
Partey won’t be in the squad against MC it seems. Also, I’m starting to wonder how we’ll create space for Reuell, Nwaneri and Myles in the squad.
I mean Walters has more than enough space to push in rn. I think we can afford to be patient with Myles and Ethan cuz they are still not even on a contract lol, but Ethan specifically could totally get minutes in the league cup, if not more.
Gabriel Jesus called up to replace Antony who has been dropped. Why are footballers so often cunts.
