We’ve lost our best passer in Bruno if he’s injured for any length of time. No one else slides balls in like he does. He basically puts at least one chance on a plate every game. We desperately need another midfielder who has fantastic vision and technique to release the types of balls Bruno does

What a loser that lad was, you could see him laughing sheepishly behind his scarf after doing it and the stewards pushing him back. Sad waste of space

Agreed, I’d put money on this if I put bets on

Going to Chelsea is like the millionaire version of the dole, you have to turn up once a week to the bench for your paycheck and you have to occasionally go out on loan

Just on that note, Odegaard is quite clearly a superstar. He’s one of the best players in the league

No chance but I think we’ll get top 4

Liverpool are done this season, their defence is the poorest by far in all the Klopp years. Their midfield is weaker too and Salah is beginning to falter while Nunez is incredibly unpredictable. Looking forward to more of Klopp’s rantings as the season goes on

Genuinely don’t know how to respond to that. He consistently beats his man on the left with pace, he drives inside with his dribbling as well so he takes up really dangerous positions. He drags our team yards forward in seconds, quicker than anyone else because of his pace at running with the ball. His delivery is good but could be better at times, I think his main area to work on is being decisive about whether to take shots on himself or find someone else. He will have a class second half of the season I’m sure of it

Think that’s laying it on a big thick. A lot of fans are praising him and seeing what he brings to the team. He’s a clever player, great movement, amazing work rate, great defensive contribution too. He’s close to being the key to our success if he can contribute more balls in like the cross today or if he can start getting shots on target more

Sadly that’s the type of player he’ll always be, even if he manages to improve his distribution and decision making. He’s never going to be as consistent a player as anyone else in the side because his best trait is his dribbling which is always going to be a bit hit and miss. I think that he can still be a really great player for us if he improves his passing and decision making but he’s never going to play in the system that Howe has set up in the way that others do

Maxi is our best player for dragging multiple opposition players towards the ball, invariably he ends up with two people on him. With Isak in there and Willock we have major pace to take advantage of that, especially if Maxi can release the ball quicker. I don’t think he’s the answer to beating teams who play with a low block but he can definitely be the answer if we play teams who come onto us

I just don’t think you can grab someone’s arm and pull it back. It might not be much contact but it’s so easy for refs to call and give it, and we should never be holding in the area like that, especially when it’s 1 v 1

This sounds dodgy as fuck, premier league governance is clearly a shambles, especially when you consider what’s happened with a Chelsea as well https://www.theguardian.com/football/2023/jan/15/questions-mount-over-alisher-usmanovs-links-with-everton-fc

Everyone has an opinion and I don’t ever want to be too harsh to anyone as it’s not like we’re dealing with objective truth but I find it odd that anyone could look at this lad and think he’s nothing special. He’s got enormous talent, if he develops more consistency in his final delivery and finishing then he’ll be one of the better wide players / AMs in the league

Looking forward to Arsenal agreeing terms then Chelsea swooping in with the £100m bid

Yup, ankles are disgusting, such little blood flow to heal up

Has to be said, his attitude has looked really spot on with these sub appearances. Really want him to come on and either get a goal or do a mazy run and get an assist. Would be amazing for his confidence and for us. Think we’ll see it soon

They were a very difficult team to breakdown and we also faced them when they were at peak levels of confidence. I do think that Trippier is looking burnt out but what do we do, we don’t have a replacement who’s anywhere near his level. I think other than that the only other selection decision going forward is when to bring Isak in for a start

His intelligence makes him such an exciting player, he’s constantly working out where the space is, how to lose his man etc and when he has the ball at his feet he’s magic. I’ve said it before but he is going to score some amazing goals for us

Hojbjerg landed on the Arsenal player’s bum at a snail’s pace then lay on the ground like he’d taken shrapnel to his legs

I want a rout!

Spurs lose here and hopefully the papers start firing up the Kane-wants-out rumours

Holy shit, that would have been some volley. Love how awful Spurs are to watch, must destroy their fans

Class, at least he’s extremely likeable

Lloris is such laughs man, going to watch a YouTube reel of his blunders later. Such a great comedy character for the league
