Honestly thought xhaka had a few 30+ yarders in him?
The one that ricocheted off Fabregas’ shin must’ve been from further out, surely?
Money well spent 😎
i will just leave this here.
Typical Arsenal always trying to walk it in
I’ve watched the replay 5x now. The shot was fantastic, but i don’t think it was exclusively a bad pass by the keeper. The Chelsea player that was right there just didn’t go for it for some reason. Regardless, i jumped up and shouted when it happened. Completely out of the blue and totally changed the game.
Money well spent.
Vieira against Newcastle cant be far off.
It was such a beautiful shot
Great first time shot, almost too close though another inch or two and it’s hitting the post.
Trouble with Arsenal is they’re always trying to pass it in
We usually just try and walk it in
What was Wenger thinking
Putting Nketiah on that early
The problem with Arsenal is…
Ironically, it’s probably a large reason we underperformed for a good while, no one to score long range means other teams know we always try to walk it into the box.
Amount of long range goals City/Liverpool have scored over the seasons…
You always need the alternative. It’s the reason Pep got Ederson originally for example : if you seat deep they’ll play out from the back and play though you, if you press too high Ederson plays it behind you and you’re fucked
Absolute belter of a goal, the bend on it was something else!
The type of shot that goes out for a throw in if you aren’t careful, I haven’t seen many players hit that amount of curve and still put it perfectly on target. He’s an unreal player
For once a click bait thumbnail that isn’t fake
That bend puts another couple of yards on it at least
bended across the defender like the bullets in that james mcavoy movie
Belter moments. Wonder who was the previous record holder?
It reminded me of this banger from Merson at Elland Road in 95.
My first ever Arsenal game.
Henry against United in 03-04 at Highbury must have been up there surely?
Nah can’t be that, the post says the previous holder was during the 06/07 season.
My reading of the title’s different to yours - to me it’s that the records started being kept in the 06/07 season, not that that’s when the previous best effort was from.
Yes that’s the accurate reading of the tweet
Ahh my bad I didn’t see the 06/07 bit at the end. I honestly can’t think of many long range goals we’ve scored
Arshavin wasn’t here until 08. His breakout performance was at the 08 Euros, when Russia made the semis
Yes I know, but I was reiterating what i can remember about long range scored by arsenal players of yesteryears
I was at this game! But nah I’d say that was only like 25 yards out
I’m wondering if that’s just when the current accurate technology started
fairs
What about Ramsey in champions league? That must’ve been 30+ yards. But yeah I’ve no idea otherwise
I’m gonna go and say that it’s not that one seeing as we are only counting prem goals lmao
Hahah oops didn’t see that. I’m just going to sit this one out haha
Might need to consult ChatGPT about this topic
My absolute guess while too lazy to confirm elsewhere…Rosicky vs Hamburg.
Damn, I miss Peak Rosa
