Family gathering, gift opening from halftime to now. Looks like there’s an xG nearing 2 and we have no non-pen goals. Idk what’s up with just 2 SOG either.

I’ll take the 1-0 lead. I want that second goal in the first 5-7’ after the half though. Need to put them under that pressure or else they’ll feel like they’re still in this game.

Grealish swipes at Hincapie’s face.

My cohost Matt said we aren’t moving the ball fast enough. That stretch of play definitely showed promise. There was speed and decisiveness we hadn’t seen before then.

Raya looki to be creative, but I don’t think Gyö is ‘that’ center forward.

Omg 😱 he made the correct call!

I’m stunned.

Now we’ve got two hands up like he’s on a rollercoaster.

Let’s see how PGMOL finds a way to fuck Arsenal today.

Viktor has to stay up on that push from O’Brien.
I say regularly that if he stays up longer he gets more calls.

Zubi isn’t lefty. That’s a shame. :/

I’ve read Arteta is more a proponent of Moyes’ system than Pep’s. I don’t agree, but the defensive structure he sets up has me wondering if I’m wrong. 😑

My family is meeting for Christmas today and the Miami Texas A&M game is on… all I hear is whistles from that game… they’re bothering me watching our game.
🤪
Um, Shoutout to friend of the show @MisplacedAggie who’s probably struggling to watch both games…

Hincapie with a shoulder issue in the second minute? Unh.

Only one defender (MLS) is on the bench. I remember games where we had 3 LBs on the bench and only two forward/midfield players. This is a strong bench. I’m excited.

Let’s see how this lineup does and how well the backline can keep out Grealish and Co.

Exactly what we want.
Returning from injuty, Jesus gets minutes.
With the game decided at 3-0, Marli Salmon, 16 YO, comes in for 10' or so to get his first minutes for the club in UCL.
I love our academy and the quality of the young men coming through.

Gyö is off & that means 'he's back.'
There hasn't been a bigger 'he's back' since Harry said it back in the day.
Jesus is back. NOT THAT ONE! Geez...
Gabriel Jesus is back. Let's see him snag a goal today. He's only getting minutes because we're up by 3.

Martinelli looking to be 'like Noni.'
He beats his man 1v1 and cuts inside to curl one to the far post.
That top corner likes us today. All three goals to that spot.
Brugge 0 - 3 Arsenal

Wow!
Martinelli thinks he's Madueke!!
He dribbles past his man, cuts across the 18 and loads up his shot. He puts it in the top corner, far side.
Cub Brugge 0 - 3 Arsenal.
All but done, not.

Noni at the double!
I mean, he couldn't miss given that the cross from Zubimendi was just a foot off the line.
Did that header go in 'just about' the same place as his first goal?
Club Brugge 0-2 Arsenal
