City plays midfields like that but i think we underrate how technical there defenders.

Theres a sick twisted side to me that wants to see zubi,odegaard, eze and rice at RB inverting.
February 14, 2026 at 12:07 PM
Agreed. First half thought eze, gyokeres, Gabriel and Raya(on the ball)were poor
February 12, 2026 at 10:10 PM
Thats what I mean, not sure he had the legs for 45. Give Eze 10-15 so odegaard can go the distance.
February 12, 2026 at 10:06 PM
I know eze was poor but was taking him off at help really a good idea for an odegaard who hasnt played in over a week
February 12, 2026 at 10:00 PM
Gabriel and Raya horrible on the ball. Ball isnt sticking to gyokeres either. Eze overthinking when were in possession as well. Doesnt move off the ball at all. This is his big chance and hes wasting it so far

Stop

This is true but think its more the pats played a cupcake schedule in regular season and playoffs and theres not much evidence their only slightly above decent

What were odds of 0 tds in first half
February 9, 2026 at 1:09 AM
City controlling but but doing so being very cagey. Liverpool having salah and ekitike make them more of a threat but harder to maintain possession as they were able to do vs arsenal without going anywhere. Interesting to see if pep decides to really go for it and when
February 8, 2026 at 5:23 PM
Lol did you watch them first half vs city? Were way worse when he was on the pitch then without him.

Maybe 4 years ago this was true
February 7, 2026 at 1:10 PM
Not sure if we should be celebrating him missing the derby lol.

Messi winning a world cup with this guy starting cements his status as the goat in my book. Argentinian Mustafi

If they were down 1-0 id agree. But they are up 1-0. Says a lot that chelsea went 5-4-1 when they need to score. Couldve been better but dont see why arsenal need to overly force the issue when theyre a goal up and thats what chelsea is essentially playing for
February 3, 2026 at 8:54 PM
Hypothetical fun short term options - Zirkzee, ESR, Willock, Brahim Diaz, RLC. Any others that jump out. Seems unlikely we could find anyone this late

My king. Was our unsung hero. However, numbers wise we have plenty but his profile will be missed. Sucks we dont still have nwaneri
February 1, 2026 at 7:56 PM
Wheres my king merino? Only player whose consistently plays well out of the squad entirely

How do you explain scars for someone like zubi. Obviously the mistake vs man u was bad. However right before it Rice made a great forward run but instead of playing a slightly risky through ball to break lines he chose the more risk adverse pass to saliba(which proved more risky in the end)
January 30, 2026 at 2:18 PM
Feels like rice doesnt like crossing in open play. A few times in 1st half he received the ball off the left and recycled when he had a great angle to put an in-swinging cross. In general thought his play really disappointed me. MO8 taking the brunt of it but thought he was just as risk adverse.
January 26, 2026 at 9:00 PM
Honestly the defending for goals 2 and 3 wasnt horrible. What proceeds it is extremely annoying. 2nd one not holding onto the ball and just spamming clearances first 5 of second half. 3rd one madueke dribbling out of bounds when he has a good opportunity to put a ball in the box
January 25, 2026 at 7:22 PM
Awful across the board. The most scared team to try a slightly risky pass. The whole team was awful apart from maybe saka and saliba. Rice Odegaard so slow on the ball.

Young in terms of experience. We have no players besides maybe jesus and norgaard youd class as veterans. How many players have won titles/league titles?
January 25, 2026 at 5:30 PM
They play the occasion and not the game. My only concern as it pertains to arteta. Young team and young coach.
January 25, 2026 at 5:27 PM
Super league didnt die, just goes under a different name now
January 21, 2026 at 10:36 PM
Who are they in for? I saw Osula but are there any targets that could maybe challenge watkins in his starting role?
