Yeah, Arsenal have done fine really. Allcott did a decent analysis of both sides last night

Don't get me wrong, Bruno is a better player than Cabaye, but Cabaye would have been significantly better for us than he was if he'd had a manager like Howe. Pardew was not a coach.

His fbref report for the PL per 90 is just ludicrous. https://fbref.com/en/players/82518f62/scout/11160/Bruno-Guimaraes-Scouting-Report Most tackles per 90 and I think second only to De Bruyne on goals at the same time. You can pretty much ignore his passing stats because we cede possession most games and those metrics obviously favour possession massively. Even then he's one of the best for passes under pressure and well up there on xA, through balls and shot creating actions.

Aye, let’s send these cockroaches down. Sick of watching them and their shite every year.

To have Smith-Rowe and then Martinelli in his pocket in 1v1 situations is impressive stuff. I like him. Seems a decent lad.

We managed to get him much higher up the pitch. Arsenal also couldn’t just stick 3 men on him because we had Wilson instead of Wood up front, so he managed to get 1v1 a bit and absolutely ruined Tomiyasu (who is a very, very good defender) in the process. More of that pls.

Was like he was out to prove a point tonight. Just set the tone right from the start, from the team huddle to when he went off. Absolutely phenomenal performance. Arguably one of his best for us and he didn’t even score.

ASM’s had them on toast like, aye. They’ve given Bruno too much space as well.

As well as I’ve seen is play for a long time.

How did he get away with this?

Aye, have a lot more respect for the people who lean into not giving a shit rather than the bad faith people tying themselves in knots to excuse things.

Oh so it's ok then.

You are just ignoring the massive, massive caveat that the kingdom is a murderous and despotic regime that we are just going to be a symbol of.

The Premier League has now received legally binding assurances that the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia will not control Newcastle United Football Club. It’s a bad joke that this takeover was allowed.

I really hope that kit isn't real, like. Can't exaggerate how disgusting it would be for the team to be wearing a Saudi flag.

Arteta's head's gone

Don’t get me wrong he’s a good player but in terms of ability he’s not one of the best in the world imo. He’s just perfectly suited to Klopp’s system. I think if you put him in Man City’s team he’d get crazy numbers too fwiw, but if you put him in a different tactical setup he’d struggle like he did at Chelsea.

If you can’t drop spicy takes in a thread like this then when you

Mo Salah and Sadio Mane. Two players who benefit massively from a system.

After his first few imperious games he seems like a regular liability to me now. Even in some of his big performances he was responsible for us conceding a goal. In the build up for the corner they scored the first goal from yesterday he went completely missing. Went in to challenge Jesus when he was never going to get there and screwed up the entire defensive organisation doing so. He loses his head far too easily, which is a shame because he’s great for 89 of the 90 minutes.

This is the grim reality of how social media is managed in football. Algorithms. Fan sentiment graphs.

We actually weren't that bad today.

Said it earlier. He’s a liability.

Dan Burn is a liability, you know. What on earth was he doing in the build up to the corner being given? It’s just not how you play centre back.

Chris Wood is shit.
