There is no way information about a major squad issue doesn’t get reported by someone immediately. Especially with the massive amount of money being gambled on games I appreciated it was you because I know it was not just an unverified rumor.

I think most GKs would for that situation. Far hand/arm is higher on the twisting dive and probably more rigid for a deflection. It doesn’t look like he could even get that near hand up in time.

With all respect to Arseblog, this is my though too. I don’t see Eze as anything other than a luxury. The only slight worry I have is that there is something off between Nwaneri and Arteta. That’s a logical reason for looking at both Eze and Madueke. Hope that’s not the case.

The irony is that, had Young not embellished, he was going to get taken out by Maguire.

I think it is that simple. Ødegaard is simply irreplaceable in this team. He makes everyone around him better, whether it’s his touch, his vision, his leadership, his pressing. I am not sure we always appreciate just how phenomenal he is.
