ehhh what's this bollocks?

Have we hacked into Brentfords moneyball system or summit?

Didn't realise Ramsdale's age, maybe not the worst move in the world if they really think he can kick on then. Arsenal are mental, what do they actually need you think in order to improve? They've got a lot of pieces but they never seem to be fit enough to get going, Thomas DM & Gabriel CB should both be good enough imo, their full backs aren't bad on paper but despite having £200m of strikers they just seem to lack a proper focal point that can bring the likes of Saka, ESR and so on into the game. They should have brought Giroud back tbh, or someone that can play with their back to goal and bring others into play. Keeper Bellerin White Gabriel Tierney Thomas Xhaka/Lokonga ESR Odegaard Saka Giroud type Some variation of that would surely give them more stability and actually play to the strengths of their players, but would mean abandoning Auba, Laca & Pepe or at least 1/2 of them Oh yeah and Thomes/Gabriel never fit obvs

Can yiz keep posting bets before the game, I'm getting some good wins offa yiz ta

Did he do anything of note when on load last year? Seemed to look ok but not produce much - wiki tells me 14 games 1 goal

pigeon tweet cracked me up

All the hallmarks of a classic Bruce overreaction to me; he'll probably leave one of Almiron/ASM on the bench or play 5-3-------1-1 with ASM & Wilson completely isolated in an effort to stop them scoring loads of goals, which they'll probably do anyway.

That's not fucking real

Read an article that made this exact point, Messi's wage set the bar for everyone else coming in and they had to pay them to get them.

I've said this before like but it bears repeating - plenty of teams get by without pacey CB's, that's why they're so expensive. You mitigate their lack of pace through coaching & tactics, and selecting the right players. Playing Shelvey in front of that defence should be grounds for the sack if you ask me. But this is Bruce in a nutshell, he's so insecure he's not only playing the opposition he's playing against the fans perception of him which he knows is absolute shite. If he had to play that defence he should have played a very defensive team and looked to carefully counter, instead he's just let them go out and get cut up then talks about how good the attacking play was.

Only if there's a Friday game, otherwise Saturday 1130/1430 or something depending on kicks. And midweek games of course.

Yeah I mean what do people expect when they consider if something is working, that all the racists would look at them kneeling and change their ways? It's doing a great job actually, better than I expected precisely because they racists that don't want to be thought of as racist are so against it.

Thought the home strip looked canny in action tbh

Darren Grimes was at the game? ahahahahaha

Hasn't he had two bouts of covid or something?

I've always thought (like many) he's been a massive beneficiary of the lack of crowds, guess we're about to find out.

I wasn't watching at the start of last season and not really watching now but one noticeable thing from last season was how strongly we finished games in the latter part of the season, I found it odd at the time actually. Wonder if it was luck rather than good planning on the fitness side.

Yeah, his ability to carry the ball from deep (Willock) should allow ASM to stay higher up and be more dangerous generally again you'd think. Just consign Shelvey to the fucking bin and things start to look a lot better across the board.

Look lads Rafa played very defensive football and Steve is trying to open things up, I'd argue he's been very successful depending on your point of view.

See this is it for me, he absolutely would have been had he been allowed. The guy made me like football & Newcastle again after the Pardew years and subsequent fallout, just as big in my eyes. Such a shame.

I saw a headline about Doucoure talking about his more attacking role, wonder if he's going to be Rafa's Diame.

What was the tactical change out of interest?
