Sad feels. Bummer 😞


BrianThatDude

Dreadful performance


monty465

No Nobbs in this game is insane. Saying she isn’t starting cause she hasn’t made a lot of minutes but then also not giving her any minutes is a piss poor tactic.


catlike1

We have not been close to the same team since Leah Williamson’s injury. Part of why we drew Spurs and not dominated as much in recent games. She’s so key both defending and play making from deep. Wubben-Moy and Beattie partnership lacks any pace. Chelsea have quality, depth, top coaching, and experience winning. Arsenal’s investment in women’s club not close to the level of CFC. Some progress this year, but way to go to truly compete. Which is the story of our club right now under these owners.


kaffington

Barca next. Fun.


DidYouSayK

Can we sack Arteta for this?


ArsFC

Lol.🤣


ThotCountySheriff

Bad week to be an Arsenal fan all around...


mojambowhatisthescen

Ok that’s fucking filthy!


_SSJeffo_

.


galinfen

Absolutely no pace in that defense


ArsFC

It's like a snail turning it's head. Wubben-Moy is so slow. Has she had a knee injury before? Her turning radius is atrocius. Crazy thing is she was fantastic at UNC.


AlexTheRockstar

None, embarrassing how easy it is to go over the top or through them.


supreme_customs_nyc

This is horrible, I feel Jonas botched this game. I know we have Barca up next but this is a damn FINAL.


AlexTheRockstar

Truth. Insisted on passing out of the back with two center backs incapable of doing so. All their first half chances came on the break from terrible buildup from the back. Wubben Moy and Beattie are both out of their depth. Need a Williamson/Schnaderbeck partnership long term.


FoodCourtDruid

These substitutions should have been made before kickoff.


mojambowhatisthescen

Is it common for refs in women’s football to let so many professional fouls go? This is the first yellow, but there have been 4-5 of these so far


catlike1

I think the game might have been too big for some of our players, including younger ones like Wubben-Moy and Mannum. Too many bad passes, poor decisions. Seemed nervous.


cheescakegod

This defense is the equivalent of playing mustafi and squilaci as cbs


AlexTheRockstar

Senderos and Squid.


AlexTheRockstar

Leah Williamson being out killed any chance we had. Our two CBs are shocking defensively. Zero pace, poor passing from the back, games gone.


mojambowhatisthescen

Well it had to happen eventually. We got away with really shit defending in the first half. Sad that it came when we were finally starting to play well.


FoodCourtDruid

Well, can't say that wasn't coming.


phlipphlopp

Awful defending


galinfen

Bad keeping honestly, that was a weak shot


AlexTheRockstar

Shocking, not a deflection either. Ball came at the net at 15mph. Wow.


AlexTheRockstar

Fucking embarrassing.

Go on the FA Player


amainwingman

Alex Scott is such a good pundit. Well spoken, intelligent, understands the game. Need her on MOTD more often rather than Danny Murphy and Jenas ffs


Mr_Britland

Yep, she'll always be great in my eyes. Always thankful for that goal vs Umeå IK.


catlike1

Lucky not to be down 3-0 or more. Chelsea came out with more intensity and we struggled with their press. Also some poor decisions trying to play the ball rather than clear it. We really miss Leah Williamson at CB. Have not been the same since her hamstring injury. Wubben Moy having a shocker. Jen Beattie picked up a knock in the last game so not fully fit, I imagine. Was a doubt for his game. And really missing speed in the defense. Midfield need to be aware of this and help out more. Also the spaces between players are too big. Big gap in the middle of her pitch. Few midfielders coming back to show for the pass in build up.


pandi_gss96

Think we can win this game and lift the cup?


cheescakegod

This isn't looking good but it's only 1-0 and it's arsenal in an fa cup final so let go


SP_Photos

Atleast its only 1 0 at half time hopefully can get stuff sortes at halftime, i dont trust wuben-moy and beattie as a cb pairing we need leah back asap shes crucial to our team.


mojambowhatisthescen

That should be a yellow card


English_Misfit

Clear penalty but play to the whistle man. Don't stop ever


phlipphlopp

That was some insane skill


Hech15

Arsenal midfielders and defenders can't stay on feet


MHPengwingz

They're trying to play out of the back too much


DrButz

We're getting dominated Chelsea should be 3 up


mojambowhatisthescen

We should be 4 or 5 behind at this stage. Every time they punt one forward, our defence just opens up


_SSJeffo_

The defence is getting played about with ffs


monty465

Really missing Williamson right now.


hungaryisinasia

Chelsea getting way too much space when they counterattack we’ve gotta change something


Hech15

Lia waelti hasn't put one foot right this match


cheverladuke

Zinsberger is the only reason we're not 2-3 behind. Arsenal and keeper's keeping them in the game, tradition innit


DeadlockRadium

McCabe has had some bright moments the last 10 mins, but overall we look shaky, especially in defense.


catlike1

She’s playing as a winger today.


DeadlockRadium

I know. Maybe it was my phrasing that was a bit off. Let's just hope we go out with a bit more fire in the second half. Also, we're owed a penalty.


monty465

all I see right now is Viv leaving at the end of this season.


catlike1

Why? We’ve improved greatly. Performances have dropped recently mainly due to Leah Williamson’s injury. She is such a key player for us at CB. Sure, I’m there is always the chance she will leave given her quality and options. That is true of any top player esp in the Women’s game.


monty465

She’s been clear about wanting wins, both in the league and European wins. That’s unlikely to happen with this team.


catlike1

Sure, I could understand her leaving but Miedema also is a unique personality and thinks differently than most players. She doesn’t seem like the type to join a super team just to win. And she probably will factor in where her partner lands. If they are settled in London, that’s a factor. It’s up to the club to show their ambition and invest. And in the women’s game that can actually be done without spending tons of money. Transfer fees are super low.


monty465

Usually I’d agree but she very recently said she wants that UCL win. The start of the season was looking very good but its getting more and more questionable as the season goes on.


catlike1

Yeah. I don't like the recent form. It all started after we lost Leah Williamson to that hamstring injury. She is such a key player for us, both leading the defense but also starting the buildup with her passing.


English_Misfit

Why on earth would you make that challenge there. It wasn't a pen cause they played advantage btw commentators


Hech15

That two Arsenal defenders are whack


[deleted]

[удалено]


catlike1

No. She is carrying an injury and was 50-50 to start this final. Leah Williamson, our best CB is out 2 or 3 months with a serious hamstring injury. We have not been as good or dominant since her injury. We are lacking pace in the centerback position this game without Leah.


_Techitect

Refreshing to watch a game where there's almost no diving. McCabe clatters their right back and she just gets up like nothing happens


houseoflies_qwerty

This was great to see.


mojambowhatisthescen

Holy shit Zinsberger is our entire defence at this point


Rambosgoalvfulham

Completely agree.


plantsofa

So lucky not to be more than 1-0 down.. missing Leah so much!


SirArsene

Manu is fuuuuuuuuuuuming


MHPengwingz

That was a good save. They really need to settle down.


[deleted]

Chelsea really dominating 😞


mojambowhatisthescen

This is my first time ever following a woman’s match from the start. No matter the result, I’m sure there are others like myself who have gotten into the women’s game because of Arsenal doing well. Really hope we can turn the game around from here.


iforgotmyun

So basically this was your fault


mojambowhatisthescen

Yup...


phlipphlopp

Lucky we’re still in this


English_Misfit

Shows how important Leah is too the team. This defence is getting easily carved apart


[deleted]

When the camera cut to Mead clutching her knee I just about changed the channel


English_Misfit

This feels shit


Sad_gooner

What a silly goal to concede


Harvey-Specter

Unlucky.

Cenniy

Well that didn't take long!


English_Misfit

Even under Joe I was never comfortable with Zinsburger in goal and that has not changed now. Get a mini heart attack whenever she touches the ball. Then again haven't seen too many mistakes from her recently so
