Chelsea just look in a different league than Arsenal. Not even competitive.

Why would he leave Leicester for Arsenal though? Oh yes wages I guess.

I thought they laid off a lot of their scouting network to focus on wasting a lot of money with agents and buying overpriced 'stars' like pepe. Insane.

Arsenal spend enough money to be a lot better than they are, I don't know how you are splurging so much money and end up with a squad that lightweight. They are good at bringing through good young talent and this should be a good basis for building a competitive team. They are a long long way off challenging for title but for money spent should be challenging for champions league places.

Just on a human level I am concerned Bruce has had a stroke dropping shelvey. Someone get a medic to check

Criminal. It's not even like a lot of of the ludicrous over spending was sensible business either. And they got 200m for Neymar.

Hayden has been a fantastic servant of the club for a fairly limited player. I actually think at times even under Bruce he has been actually high standard. I think the fact he isn't technically gifted hugely or anything means he just normally dilligently gets on with his defensive job, a lot of other defensive mids start thinking they're yaya toure and rampage everywhere or attempting ludicrous passes. He's no Kante or anything but probably underrated really. Don't know why Bruce seems to want to play him higher, and all his good work is undone by having non entities like shelvey or hendrick or colback next to him.

Somehow this will be Rafa's fault he disrupted our preseason

Murphy!

Allan Saint Maximan is god still

That's the plan

He'd be in the stands booing if he wasn't managing

Booing the players taking the knee too, sigh

Kraft would be stealing a living in the championship let alone...

You have instinctual goal scorers who shoot early, players like Vardy and also all the great poachers. I think most players need a split second to set themselves and those will find it harder

Eelectric indeed

Proper Arsenal goal to concede too lol

Arsenal yeah don't look like much. The project with kids is good, and for sure Saka and Partey (if the latter is ever not injured) will improve them a tonne, but they look rubbish right now.

I dunno I see a bunch of youngsters and think maybe could be good and exciting and then you see Chambers is still there

I understand he doesn't pass enough for arsenal but disagree about arsenal pressing high. They have sometimes but they also say quite deep at others. Aubemayang and pepe aren't suited to that game either

Losing the Longstaffs and Hendrick will gets minutes. This fucking club.

Barca only have themselves to blame for their financial mess and the need to rebuild has been obvious for years but instead just increasingly became pinning everything on Messi and blaming everything on managers. Would have been healthy to sell him a few years ago when he had sell on value and not spend so much on over hyped shit

have a suspicion pep will basically play foden with grealish behind and it be a pretty incredible even if they don't get kane.
