if we're keeping Dubravka beyond this summer I really hope we're selling Pope and upgrading our first choice keeper.

I'm going to assume that Mr Ryder has copied and pasted his scores over from the Spurs game and forgot to remove Botman (who made a mistake early on vs Spurs for their goal). He is a big fucking dipshit

In our system athleticism is most needed in the 6 rather than the 8s. Think the recent changes show that. To me he's most similar to Bruno. Capable of threading a pass but doesn't have the athleticism to play 6 for us. I don't think he has the defensive awareness, positioning or aggression either. I think naturally he's a 10 and that's where he's played in his youth career iirc. He clearly has absolutely bags of technical ability and composure.

Arteta could be in trouble come the end of the season.

poor Miggy. Still trying his best but he's even lost his pace now.

hmm, maybe he does have something.

be tempted to give Lewis Hall a run in midfield in place of Longstaff. Just to see how good he is there.

normally one of his defenders and it's not his kind of game at all, but he's been very bad even taking that into consideration.

wonder if we'll sell Barnes now. That's pretty brutal from Howe.

you can see why he doesn't get minutes.

he's obviously not a 6, mind. Their goal, the pass before his goal and his goal itself all show he needs to play further forward like Bruno has been recently.

would swap Longstaff and Miley tbh.

lack of quality from Targett has been a big issue. Crossing used to be one of his things as well.

Kelly is worse than shit, sorry

pathetic from Miley

it’s so funny to watch. He’s clearly just in the team to take throw ins. They’ve even got him playing number 10 so that he’s as out of the way as possible when defending

Not sure what you mean??

Doubt playing in a Conte team helps him too much in that regard though?

Sounds like the fee will be €70-80m depending on whether Skriniar goes the other way or not. A relative bargain really, amazed Arsenal and Liverpool aren't all over it because he'd be a big upgrade for both of them.

Flekken is rubbish

just read in the last 9 attempts Villa have only made it past the 3rd round twice and those two times they got knocked out in the 4th round. Pretty bad that

Out of work nonsense

The last minute or so of match cam from the Arsenal game is just him saying goodbye to the fans, basically.

Rice?! Because he took some corners????

I dunno like, I have to agree with DE that Bruno is the king of manufacturing a foul. You don't get results like this without it. like, it's not even close to an astonishing degree
