Think people forget how normal it is for dominant wins to feature dull periods at 1-0 or 0-0. It's not easy to break any opposition down if they play the right way.

I think people are just starving for anything non-fascistic really

Multiple players are clearly not at their best because they're becoming fatigued, which we can't do anything about bcs we have too many injuries to rotate proactively.

Havertz/Martinelli/Rice are not essential players to how we play.

They're nowhere near as bad as Ready Player One.

Yes, both books have some pathetic male nerd power fantasy inclinations that do take away from the novels, but the books also have other qualities; they're not just pandering to nerds.

I agree that he's got higher potential as a striker (in whatever position).

I can't really see Arteta ever using him there, though.

I don't think transfers are the answer. Martinelli needs a different position within this system to be closer to the goal.

Fundamentally, the wingers' jobs in this team are first and foremost to stretch the pitch. They have to start from near the touchline.

There are some extenuating circumstances, but bottom line is that we're all watching him play and he doesn't look like a killer.

We all thought he was a star in the making when he was younger, and he looked physically unstoppable. Now he looks like a workhorse role player.

Aha well I actually think the opposite way. Balatro falls short for me specifically in comparison to Slay the Spire.

The other problem with Partey is he has had bad games that cost us points. His mistakes vs Brighton and vs Chelsea led to big swings against us.

(Some mistakes inevitable for any 6, but he's relatively error prone)

I don't feel like there's an unassailable pick, especially given Shadow of the Erdtree is a DLC pseudo-sequel that arguably shouldn't qualify.
