Arsenal proves they are no longer a big club with horrific collapse vs Chelsea.
Just another day at the Emirates. The nail in the coffin. Arsenal should probably just be considered a mid-table team for the foreseeable future. Arsenal fans have used the ole "our manager sucks, we don't suck" excuse for years. I think now it's just apparent that anyone who comes into the Arsenal managerial position will probably - at best - get a spot in the Europa League. I view Arsenal on about the same tier as West Ham now when it comes to English football teams.
I'll be the first to admit it, Arsenal were the better team for the first twenty-three minutes, and they were.
Up 1-0, you have everyone soccer twitter basically sucking Aubameyang's dick for a pretty routine header imo. Then, it happened. Frank Lampard saw where he messed up in the team sheet and brought on my man of the match, Jorginho.
Arsenal fans are gonna cry "oh he should've been sent off", and I've got news for those folks,, soccer is a contact sport and what Jorginho did was not worthy of a second yellow.
When in reality, Jorginho came on and absolutely erased Özil. He also did this to equalize.
I mean this was just horrific goalkeeping from Leno but what a finish from Jorginho. The composure, the finesse, and just the overall fuck you to sad-sack Arsenal fans everywhere. And if Chelsea equalizing in the 83rd minute wasn't enough…
Like a goddamn warm knife through butter. Just runs at the defense, they decide to go with the bold strategy of not attack the man on the ball as well as not covering the runners. Tammy put Mustafi in an absolute fucking blender with that borderline NSFW turn he put on him. Chelsea then held on for the final seven minutes of stoppage and the embarrassment was complete. I actually start to feel bad for Arsenal fans because at some point you have to sit and wonder "when is enough….enough", will there be success at the Emirates again? Probably not.
Water is wet. The sky is blue. Fire is hot. Arsenal lose big games.
