It’s crazy

Bc Lens is a slept on side who finished second in ligue un and played at home to a fan base that hasn’t seen Champions league football in over 20 years. PSG is a white collar side playing against a blue collar Newcastle side away that hasn’t seen champions league in just about as long.
It’s funny you’re referring to the two richest clubs in world sporting history as blue and white collar…
I mean no dispute that Newcastle is historically blue collar.
It doesn’t matter what the history is. If I win a 10bn lottery tomorrow I ain’t middle class.
Of course it does. The blue collarfan base doesn’t become oil rich and uppity just because a petrostate buys the club.
The blue collar fanbase also isn’t on the pitch
Yes, but orcs like Dan Burn are.
There’s nothing blue collar about Newcastle mate despite what they want to think of themselves. They are one of the richest clubs in the world backed by one of the scummiest and awful countries in the world.
Think they’re referring to the fan base mate. Fully agreed about the club tho
We are way too predictable and slow in our attack. We lack cutting edge with our moves. We move to the rest defence position in a slow and composed manner and then we do the same passed again and again with no impact. We lack variety in our attacks. Sometimes we are able to open up the defence and it’s beautiful to see that. But most often with more defence personal, this is like threading a needle and the amount of times we pull it off is lesser as well without our first choice wingers.
Newcastle are a far more clinical side than us and they were at home as well
That right there is the power of home advantage. Also Lens is cohesive and functional, PSG isn’t.
Without goalscoring and creating wingers we are dead. We need atleast 1 of martinelli or saka on the field to score but more importantly create. Most of our players seemed to have an off day, just didnt do well at all
We aren’t as good as our fans thought.
Lens scored two goals on .74xG. Those finishes were ridiculous. Sometimes shit happens.
Yeah it honestly was more likely that Tomi puts away that golden chance from the corner and Lens aren’t able to finish their chances (which both took class to finish and they deserve credit for) and it finishes 2-1 or 2-0 Arsenal. Sometimes the bounces don’t go your way, and that’s fine. Arteta needs to plan to minimize that in the future though
The assist for their first was fucking silly.
Who cares? Like who actually cares about what Newcastle does? Have we forgotten who we are? We are the Arsenal. Who gives a fuck what Newcastle does
This comment right here
Well let’s just wait and see what happens when Newcastle heads to Paris before we make too many assumptions. If you don’t think the atmosphere in Lens and in Newcastle today didn’t affect us and PSG even a little then this conversation is pointless. Also, it’s game 2 out of 6. We can still top the group
Newcastle pressed very hard and they were dangerous every time they got the ball in PSG’s half. Good performance from Newcastle and horrible structure by PSG.
Our team that played Lens would get smashed 3-0 by that Newcastle at St. James tbh
The same reason we lost the premiership last season, we don’t have the mental capacity to perform for 90min in every single game of the season.
PSG was awful and their shape amateurish. Plus theybwere away to a very motivated Newcastle.
We played awful too lol
Home vs away
grasping at straws
I’m so bummed lol
Lens played a lot better than PSG did today. Newcastle attack was far better than ours, especially loved Isak today
