Yeah don’t think there was an obvious sub except maybe Eddie earlier, thought he freshened up the press. I dont know how we fix that loss of control in the 2nd half besides maybe improving the midfield at the expense of a Martinelli or maybe someone more mobile/press resistant than Xhaka but I could be misremembering the game. also who the hell is fdj, making my head hurt
Patino being serenaded at Blackpool after a 20 minute debut. They lost 2-0 to Stoke but apparently he was dominant in his time on the pitch.
Like how mad Ramsdale got after blowing the Villa clean sheet. Nuno is pretty calm off the pitch while being the craziest fuck ever on it
Really glad Mane is gone, he was such a cunt in every game vs them Constantly throws wild elbows and Liverpool benefit every time
Think he's gonna have a tremendous year, and we'll sell him at a hefty profit. Just don't have a use for a wingback, in Arteta's system
Have plenty of MF depth: Sambi, Viera, ESR, Elneny If someone from our attacking 3 goes down, we’re left really thin. Can’t expect them to play every match
I guess I count Viera and ESR almost more as front 3 options. Sambi maybe more ready than I’m giving him credit for and Elneny isn’t really the type of MF I’m thinking about. Think we need someone who can operate further back and reassert control in games like Friday’s. Not saying a proper winger wouldn’t help though
Love him as a rotation option for Nelli and a back up for Saka. But only makes sense if we’re committing to ESR as an 8
Sounds like Raphina Lite IMO https://breakingthelines.com/player-analysis/player-analysis-yeremy-pino/
I think he is an 8. His ability to arrive into the box & finish would be much more impactful from MF. I much prefer Martinelli's speed & work-rate on the wing... I don't think ESR will be able to unseat him.
To be clear, nobody is wrong in the MF or wide attacker debate... we could use one of each. Just a matter of preference & how much faith the club has in Partey beating the allegations.
Right but it was Leeds with Bielsa crashing and burning like he always does. I feel very confident he’s better than Pino but I would not mind any winger or cm signing
I enjoy it a lot. but had it been any other PL club id probably not watch. well id watch United because lmao.
patino with his first start today in the league cup; blackpool lost to league 2 side barrow afc in pk’s
I really liked Josh reassuring Mikel after the tough start. Seemed like a decent guy for a billionaire.
the players we have loaned have gone to good clubs for growth and gotten off to great starts. would be nice to find the right clubs for Azeez and Norton-Cuffy. think both are a year or two away from getting rotated into the 1st team.
Might have? We overrate anyone who wears the shirt. Also, too early on him. I don’t know the details on Portsmouth loan but I do know about 95% of our loans are shit so not giving his much weight, yet.
Watched All or Nothing today. Really well done, fucking love the energy Arteta brings A lot of painful memories especially that loss at Anfield
