Our midfield really does lack bite. Anita and colback make for a sub standard pairing I hope we don't stick with this for too long.

We aren't really pressing as a unit which is slightly concerning.

Are going man for man in midfield?

What the fuck is yellow plus?

Savage is fucking unbearable.

Colback so far up the pitch. No point playing him in that position if he's going to push so far up

We have pace on the counter too That we do, I hope we can drag Coq out of position and expose Santi

Andy Cole is still a cunt.

Arsenal have so much pace on the counter. Anita and Colback need to be very disciplined

Fair play decent side that, I'd drop gini deeper personally but that would be risky given the opposition. Hoping Mitrovic can control his aggression and give Arsenal a really good going over

Small outage just now.

I'm really hoping Mclaren makes the right call. Aye, hopefully not long distance. That would be fine, maybe we can ship him off to the Kazakh league.

I'm really hoping Mclaren makes the right call.

Cabella starts for Marseille in 10 minutes. I'll be interested to see if lemina is as impressive this week as he was last.

Actually finding myself looking forward to games at present. It's a weird feeling, and I'm pretty sure it shouldn't be accompanied by an erection. Exactly, it's been such a long time but I'm really looking forward to the Arsenal game.

What about the hope flag?

Good to see Thauvin having a great debut, let's get Mitrovic on and get him a goal too

If 9 changes are true, that's a bit concerning especially given the rhetoric of we are going to give the cups a real go

Who thought that?

A lot of us will be watching nice with great interest Hatem left a big mark on those Newcastle fans with a few brain cells. Please keep us updated regarding Nice.

He impressed me as well. Got up and down very well, seems like he'd be an upgrade on colback

I like Rafa a lot but he's completely unsuited to managing Madrid. James Rodríguez on the bench was a head-scratcher for me; he was comfortably one of Madrid's best players last season. They need to buy a forward, or at least do some business like Chicharito last season. There's nobody to replace Benzema or give him rest, and Ronaldo is better coming from the wing. Everything Madrid have done this season has been bizarre. Was good to see Varane start though so Benitez did get something right. I thought Bale was awful though.

Correct. So typical of Perez
