FA Cup 5th Round: Portsmouth v Arsenal | Monday, March 2 | KO: 19:45 GMT | BT Sport

[Rex Stone]

Jenas not as terrible as I presumed on comms. He can be decent clearly when Sp**s aren’t involved.

 

[roz]

Anyone else hate it when Luiz takes our FKs?
Biggest myth in football that he can take a decent one

 

[Trigger]

Think we’ll need another goal to win this.

And that they’ll continue to be allowed to kick us about and it’ll be us to end up with more bookings or a red card

 

[Santi's Left Foot]

Unfortunately nketiah sucks

Give over. He's playing lone striker and we're not creating anything.

Biggest myth in football is that Vermealen could play DM.

 

[Pepes blue pill]

Rich hates kids. He sells them drugs even if he know they are under age.

Just wants to get them drugged up so they don't remember the noncery that follows

 

[The_Playmaker]

It's just so frustrating.

Nelson, Martinelli and Willock just can't get the ball as we have a right back who cant pass between the lines, two centre backs dwelling on the ball, two central midfielders who do the same thing. Neither can run from deep.

AMN cant even get a chance in a cup match when Torreira gets injured. We play our loanee instead.

Very stodgy half from us. Wasnt impressed but happy we are in the lead. Think Guendouzi and Ceballos been very guilty of moving the ball very slow. Same with the CBs. Sokratis was terrible on the ball but he had a great finish and a couple nice blocks. Mari has been OK defensively.

I liked some of Nelson's contributions and very happy he got the assist. Think hes been dangerous in the final 3rd but needs to demand the ball more. Nketiah and Martinelli not really in the game as much. Would like to see Willock link with them a lot more. Hes worked hard and had some nice plays but again releases too slow.

Nelson and Saka the better players so far.

 

[Rex Stone]

I really dislike the way when Guendouzi shows for the ball and picks it up that there’s only one option ahead in midfield and two on each wing.

I get why we do it to create overloads but time and again it just means the ball goes back to Luiz and Sokratis to recycle again.

Slows our play to walking pace.

Him and Ronaldo just hit it hard and hope for the best. That Folha seca worked for Juninho because he knew how to hit it.

They need to be closer together, a bit more structure. It's a bit static from them.

I think Guendouzi is trying to play quickly but what’s on around him?

Willock has two on him and Ceballos keeps drifting onto the left side for some reason.

Need a RB who can get forward in this team because they’re happy doubling up on Nelson because they know Sokratis isn’t going anywhere.

 

[Manberg]

Perhaps most of the training since Olympiacos has been set pieces.

 

[Yousif Arsenal]

Do Portsmouth fans bring bells in thier stadium?

 

[say yes]

Sokratis is a really good lad isn’t he?

Agree. Nelson's done well to make an impact with Sokratis being no help in attack - ironic given he scored off a Nelson assist.

 

[roz]

Yep. Goes to away games too.

 

[zilfy]

I, like others, had felt we had turned a corner before the europa game. I felt that this game was vital to show the fans that last weeks loss was just a one off error and that things were still looking up.

Looks like more of the same lack of creativity and composure on the ball. Same old boring arsenal

 

[Yousif Arsenal]

I like what I'm seeing from mari so far look very calm very good passing too

 

[A_G]

30% possession and 0 shots on target but Portsmouth deserve to be in front I'm hearing
