Arsenal - v - Leeds United ***Matchday Thread***

[hopelesslyoptimistic]

Bielsa never mentions the injuries or complains so the media don’t pick up - Jimmy bless him raised it.

Moving on, 3 points on Friday against Wolves, todays result both annoying & frustrating, but there were some positives.
We scored from a corner, beauty from Struijk
Ayling must play RB
Shack never a RB, much better in attacking third
Huggins played well, not the best way to make debut
Just highlights the lack of quality backup / competition in squad

Different post match interview from Bielsa to those I have seen before - in the face of some pretty silly questions he mentioned injuries for once and also seems Klich was not really fit to play.

Mentioned the injured players add another level to Leeds - or that was the gist of it.

EVERY time a commentator says something like 'striker X hasn't scored in 23 games' or 'striker X has never scored against Leeds in 16 attempts' or 'team X haven't been awarded a penalty in 17 years' or ' defender X has never scored in his entire 22 year career', we all know that this run will end if that team is playing Leeds.

We were so poor in the first half we didn’t really deserve anything out of the game but looked again at the Bamford penalty shout and don’t understand how that wasn’t given.

The should have made it 4-3 and then who knows.

Hope Phillips is back soon swiftly followed by Kock and Rodrigo.

The first half aside what other team keeps going like we did yesterday, the whole team going for it to the whistle - look at Crystal Palace the other day, they couldn't wait for it to end and get on the coach.

Agree on the lack of quitting. Strujik won me $20 with the goal! as long as they give me 20-1 odds on his scoring I'll keep putting money on him. He looks a threat on corners.

thought we looked better with Roberts, Huggins and Costa.

even the best players get tired over the grind of a season.

I had considerably more than £1 on Raphinha to score from outside the box at 25-1. He had one good effort saved and dragged another just wide - gutted!
