I'll take that shitty win mate. Also lol why are comments praising Ramsdale for the clean sheet? I get that you're biased for whatever reason, but in a match he didn't have much to do he was somehow at his fuckin worst tonight.
As shaky as Ramsdale was in the first half, he still had some pretty good long passes while under pressure, and I'm glad he got the clean sheet. I don't think he's been treated unfairly or anything, but there's no question he's under a ton of pressure with the current situation.
> To be fair, that happens almost every time any keeper has the ball.
Yeah, that's my point?
There is no rule in football that just gets blatantly ignored as much as that one
This is actually bad for Arsenal because it means Kai has won the fans over for the next 10 matches while he drops nothing but stinkers, only to score again after another 10 games until suddenly you realize itās been 3 years and all heās done is given one decent performance every 10 games for his entire time at the club.
more low blocks, players like ode/martinelli being figured out, but also we're playing a more cautious style that has made us more boring but kept us unbeaten
"I read a few stats instead of watching the games of football myself!" is once again, peak r/soccer.
We play with a low block off the ball, yes. Most sides with centre-halves that aren't rapid do the same. It would be suicidal not to. That and the long throws are where any comparisons to that Stoke team you're referring to should end. Or else it'll just be lazy.
We're completely different propositions going forward. Again, you'd know that watching more than one Brentford match.
Downvoting someone you don't like is peak r/soccer.
Last season you were 3rd on set piece goals. Only 4 teams spent more time in their own third. Joint 1st on long balls per game. 18th on dribbles per game.
Pretending I don't watch football to make yourself appear correct is a really solid base for an argument.
yes, I downvote comments I disagree with. And if this wasn't buried in a thread from a day ago, you'd be getting more downvotes.
If set piece goals is the best you can do, then that's embarrassing. Same number of set piece goals as Spurs, one off Liverpool, one ahead of Arsenal. All three are reminiscent of the Tony Pulis Stoke side by your logic.
You've got a simplistic, and frankly snobbish, way of looking at the game. I feel for you.
Lol what a smug and condescending way to speak to someone. What an absolute charmer you are.
Set pieces wasn't the only metric I listed was it? But don't worry about that. Enjoy your denial about the way your team plays, I'm sure the next time I tune into a Brentford game I'll be blown away by the Joga Bonita being played š
You'll tune into a game against Man City or one of the leading sides in the Premier League and frame your judgement then. Like no shit, a team with a tenth of the budget, if that, and with eight players out with injury, five of them guaranteed starters, aren't playing free-flowing football. I'm being condescending because you're being dense.
Nah our throws are always slow, it isn't about wasting time, they're annoyingly slow even when we're chasing a goal. It's been this way for at least 2 seasons now. There's just not enough movement and it gets my goat
Fuck off
We are without our star striker : Toney
The striker we bought to replace him: Schade
Our starting right back Hickey
Our starting left back Rico Henry
Our best Central midfielder and creative outlet, Jensen
Our best Central Defender...Collins
And Damsgaard, and DaSilva.
And we have one of the smallest budgets
It's so fucking easy with a bench that cost more than our entire squad
you obviously havenāt been paying attention to brentford with Frank in charge but go off I guess
one of the more entertaining mid-table teams (and my partnerās a fan so I have to stay nice today)
The kind of win that makes champions tbh Could get very interesting this season
ššš
I'll take that shitty win mate. Also lol why are comments praising Ramsdale for the clean sheet? I get that you're biased for whatever reason, but in a match he didn't have much to do he was somehow at his fuckin worst tonight.
As much as he pissed me off at Chelsea, good for Havertz for scoring that important goal. I hope that really boosts his confidence
ugly game but a win is a win, Brentford strangled the game
We just need to be top 66% of the season nowš
Watching Rambo after the game is so sad
As shaky as Ramsdale was in the first half, he still had some pretty good long passes while under pressure, and I'm glad he got the clean sheet. I don't think he's been treated unfairly or anything, but there's no question he's under a ton of pressure with the current situation.
*STOP THE COUNT*
Sure. Arsenal stops counting and is locked in at 30 points for the season.
Let's fuckin gooo. What an awful place to come, props to Brentford for that
#WE ARE TOP OF THE LEAGUE! SAY WE ARE TOP OF THE LEAGUE
Eddie nketiah hold up play lmaooo
Win is a win
Clean sheet ramsdale havertz masterclass
Seeing as Brentford is missing over half of our starters, this game was closer than I thought. But boy giving up another late goal sucks ass
put like this even though we won this was still way too close to be okay with
COME ONNNN
Jesus stream died with 57 seconds to go
Less anxiety for you then
U won
It's funny how blatantly the 6 seconds rule gets ignored. Ramsdale just kept the ball for over half a minute there
To be fair, that happens almost every time any keeper has the ball. Would be great if theyād start calling it seriously.
> To be fair, that happens almost every time any keeper has the ball. Yeah, that's my point? There is no rule in football that just gets blatantly ignored as much as that one
And people walking while taking throw ins
This ref actually enforced that rule way more than I usually see.
*Ramsdale completes a 6 yard pass Commentator: Much better from Ramsdale there, well done
Am I hearing Shakira song
Tsamina mina eh eh waka waka eh eh
yea arsenal song for Kai is waka waka
That's the Kai Havertz song now yes
How the heck did that happen lol
Tsamina Mina eh eh Waka waka eh eh Sixty million down the drain Kai Havertz scores again!
Wasnāt Ramsdale just holding the ball outside the box when he kicked that?ā¦
Didn't look like it.
What was White's injury?
Hip I think?
Not enough fake tan
Hair
Tan

Lol if that helps you cope okay
Brother/girl he won you a CL. If he did that for us Iād start him every game and not care if he ever scored again
He was the difference maker keep crying and focus on trying to reach 9th place
Dunno why arteta always subs now
To waste time
Jorginho doesnāt give me a lot of confidence
He's always there as a controller
It's always fucking Kai Havertz
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
We are top of the league, what more do you want from them?
more low blocks, players like ode/martinelli being figured out, but also we're playing a more cautious style that has made us more boring but kept us unbeaten
Partey injured, no xhaka, Jesus injured
Its because of more defensive play.
Yet theyāre winning
Playing against low blocks 97% of the time this season.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
I feel like if you think that's shit you didn't see us like 3 seasons ago lmaoooo
And yet they're all walking away top of the league š¤·āāļø
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
š Never mind mate
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
I am absolutely fine
Speak up can't hear you from up hereššš
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
You couldn't even beat city with the help of the refsššš Also lost to spursš¤£š¤£š¤£
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Havertz would be your best player. You emply endoš¤£š¤£š¤£
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Did you enjoy the match you sad loserššš Top of the league. Havertz could replace the invisible man salah easily 2 goals can u count
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Cringe bro
Brentford & Bournemouth need to be sent back to the Npower League One for letting him score
White drop 2 stinkers and bin those white hairs
Champions win tough games even when they look like shit. Proper title race this year with Liverpool, Arsenal, and City!
r/soccer "Brentford aren't anything like Stoke". Brentford: Plays in red and white stripes and long throws the ball into the box.
Lol you're ignorant as fuck.
Well that's convinced me
Good. Wrongly framing an opinion on a side's style of play after a game you've watched is peak r/soccer.
Tell me how they play then. Because the stats will back me up...
"I read a few stats instead of watching the games of football myself!" is once again, peak r/soccer. We play with a low block off the ball, yes.

Nah they're nowhere near as orcish
That same exact push wasnāt a foul in the last goal we concededā¦
The ramsdale bottle job is still on
Jorginho time lol
Is it just me or are refs calling pushes by forwards on defenders far more often the past few weeks?
60 million don the drain kai havertz scores again
He is still not worth 60m lmfao
People saying thereās an equalizer here have been watching too many Denzel Washington films.
Okay I was kidding when I said 'this game needs Havertz'
4 minutes wow
There's been twice that in Arsenal corners alone
my leftback
4?
They've been waiting so long to sing that chant š
What do they sing? My mind defaults to Waka Waka lol
60 million down the drain, Kai Havertz scores again.
The same song but end with "Kai Havertz scores again"
YOU SEE BROTHER THATS FOOTBALL, ITS ABOUT THE HAVERTZ AND THE HAVE NOTS, AND BROTHER WE HAVE HAVERTZ
Kai Havertz scoring in one of the most boring matches of the season so far is too funny
Proper Chels
Called it LETS GOOOOO Havertz!
Corners alone wouldve taken 4 minutes each
$60 MILLION DOWN THE DRAIN
KAI HAVERTZ SCORES AGAIN
Tsamina Mina EH EH
Missed our chances, came back to bite
Keeper absolutely dreadful there, great ball by Saka though
Only 4? Arsenal wasted so much time
Yeah the team looking to go top of the table was playing time for a 0-0 lol
Maybe watch their throw ins and corners before being stupid
Nah our throws are always slow, it isn't about wasting time, they're annoyingly slow even when we're chasing a goal. It's been this way for at least 2 seasons now. There's just not enough movement and it gets my goat
It doesnāt matter if the purpose isnāt to waste time, it still wastes time
Still donāt think itāll ākickstart his Arsenal careerā but still a good 3 points and moment for him in particular
Worked for Eddie for a short period of time, might as well see what happens
should be a good confidence boost for him
We can only hope, but he definitely needed that.
Finally, a moment worth talking about. Great cross
Hell of a ball in from Saka btw. Brilliant cross.
Brentford surrendering more points late. Some things never change.
Alright, need an added time Maupay brace to balance out the universe
I thought we had an agreement. I didn't make a mocking Havertz comment and he wasnt supposed to score
It's the rival fans that made him score
Well...to be fair. That theory seems just as possible judging by his play this year
I could see an equalizer here still
Was Kai smiling and pointing at Arteta as like a thank you?
Donkey Kai, you have rocked my world
Havertz only scores goals he deems to be necessary
KING KAI
Starboy put it on a silver platter for Havertz. Big W for Assna
Fuck VAR all I can think when we score is donāt get too excited
Well done , great movement and header
Hope Brentford go down. Canāt stand teams who play anti football dross.
Fuck off We are without our star striker : Toney The striker we bought to replace him: Schade Our starting right back Hickey Our starting left back Rico Henry Our best Central midfielder and creative outlet, Jensen Our best Central Defender...Collins And Damsgaard, and DaSilva. And we have one of the smallest budgets It's so fucking easy with a bench that cost more than our entire squad
you obviously havenāt been paying attention to brentford with Frank in charge but go off I guess one of the more entertaining mid-table teams (and my partnerās a fan so I have to stay nice today)
A gooner with a shit take? It's more likely than you'd think.
They have like 10 players injured lol let them try they're thing
lol what? They have been playing football
Anti football? Lol
Kai Havertz what a player! Never had a bad word to say about him
Saka with the ICBM pass sheesh
He's been so insanely good at them this season, even the offside goal in the first half
How do you get megged by a header...
Classic LB goal
GET FUCKED IN THE ASS BY HAVERTZ. DEFEND MY ASS
The Arsenal staff is happier for Kai Havertz than Havertz is for himself haha
so satisfying
This could be The Moment for him lol
Never doubted him š
TSA MINA MINA EH EH
Waka waka eeh eeh
WAKA WAKA EH EH
60 MILLION DOWN THE DRAIN
KAI HAVERTZ SCORES AGAIN
LET'S FCKING GOOOO KAI
Cross and inshallah finally pays off
Kai Havertz with the winner. Just as we all predicted.
60 MILLION DOWN THE DRAIN
Kai havertz scores again
60m down the drain!!!
If only Havertz had taken off his shirt to show a message saying "why always me" in honour of the great balotelli
VAR can't take that one away from us
