Chelsea spent about a billion and a half under that new owner only to play a back 5 against Arsenal with no recognized strikers at the club and with as bad a bench as we've got...that's some club they've got.

Arsenal: Raya, Timber, Lewis-Skelly, Saliba, Gabriel, Partey, Odegaard, Rice, Martinelli, Merino, Trossard.

Subs: Neto, Tierney, White, Kiwior, Zinchenko, Jorginho, Calafiori, Butler-Oyedeji, Nwaneri

-------

Unless it is to manage his minutes, benching Nwaneri is not a great decision. Let's see if he can make an impact from the bench.

Need to win.

Anything less than a win against Chelsea is unacceptable

Is anyone tracking Jobe Bellingham? How good is he really?

I watched a highlights compilation several months back and he looked ridiculously talented. Compilations are always the best bits and selective but he looked like a monster talent with everything needed to play box to box. Amazing defensively, dribbling passi by and long shots.

Has anyone seen much of his games? If those compilations are even vaguely indicative of his level he would be destined for the very top.

Mbappe has killed v junior and Bellingham tjis season

Madrid better without him

Im glad

He makes them less dangerous overall even though they are filled

With dangerous forwards who can turn a game at any moment

Haaland plays the crudest form of football possible as a target man. He lacks finesse

Winning today is necessary to help stop us dropping back into the top 4 pack

But what a season forest are having. They’re only a point behind us. I desperately hope they hold on for CL football

The audacity of a lot of you saying Haaland was better than Mbappe. Get in the bin.

Expand full comment

I don't remember anyone saying he's better than Mbappe but you were adamant Haaland is a terrible player, he's a flop and has been found out at City.

Expand full comment

Haaland has been found out at City so I was right afterall. The moment KDB and the other old heads regressed he's done nothing to pull City out of their mess because he's a limited striker. Stat padding against relegation fodder teams don't mean shit to me. If he was so good they would still be in the Champions League and would be walking the Premier League instead of Liverpool. He's never been my cup of tea as a striker. All about fouling his way in the box and using cyborg strength to score meh goals. Big Gab and Saliba make him look like the real donkey he is.

Haaland 29 goals in 39 games

This season, for a struggling city team shorn of its creators

Mbappe 28/37 games for a overpowered top of the league Real Madrid with vini rodrygo Jude valverde all instructed to make this signing work

I think Madrid are less dangerous trying to make Mbappe work in their side

Expand full comment

And City aren’t overpowered? The moment their best creators regressed Haaland hasn’t been enough to carry City like a Mo Salah.

Expand full comment

Deffo better than Mbappe who only looked good in a shit league in an overpowered team

Without his pace he is nothing and that pace will go

Couldn’t lace Henry’s boots

Best strikers around today are haaland Kane snd lewa

Mbappe overrated primadona with a bad attitude

LOL you can’t be for real talking about footballers attitude. Mbappe shits on Paaland in every football ability. You know he would destroy everyone in PL. Its too bad he’s never coming.

🙄 You’re joking, right? In La Liga? Seen Halaand’s record stats in the EPL? You think Mbappe can do that? Don’t clown mahn!

Expand full comment

Have you seen Mbappe and what he does for his national team? Have you seen Mbappe in the last two world cup finals? Mbappe is by far the best player in the world currently

Expand full comment

Also Haaland was in farmer league Bundesliga and Mbappe was in farmer Ligue 1, so what's your point about La Liga?

Expand full comment

What's wrong he scores boat loads regardless of which league he plays in. If Mbappe moves to PL he will do the same.

Expand full comment

How? Running to where, through which defence? EPL where almost 15 of the teams play low block?

Read what you type; makes sense? This guy has won the champions league, before Mbappe!!! Scored record number of goals in one epl season, multiple epl titles whilst not being in a “farmer’s league”! Please na!

Like Lewandowski, his country is a big disadvantage.

Stop hating because he plays for direct opposition. He’s a goal scorer, the best here! Simple!

Expand full comment

If he were the best City would be top of the league and not out of the CL. I rest my case.

Nico Paz is the real deal

Fabregas's Como play some absolutely beautiful football, even in games they don't win they play some good stuff, absolutely dominated Milan in this game and rightly scored.

Concecao by the way a disaster appointment for us

Cesc played at the real pinnacle of the beautiful game at Arsenal Barca and Spain. If anyone can set up a beautiful system it will be him

First having a dream season, Wolves should be just about safe. Current bottom three going back down it seems

Gundogan in midfield cant last long. Lacks stamina like @MrSerge

I said before a ball was kicked this season that Gundogan wasn’t a very clever signing and I got laughed at

Marmoush is going to be a hell of a player. He’s a monster

Expand full comment

In a year or so, Rice, MLS and Nwaneri could be a brilliant midfield combination. England would see the benefits too with Saka and BW on the right!

WHO the hell is BW??? HUH

Ben White LOL I forgot he existed.

Tell me how Haaland is better than Mbappe you mongrel.

He scores more and has the two most important and difficult to win trophies at club level

CL

PL

Yup.

Very glad to see Arteta say he sees MLS as a 6 or 8 long term

I agree

He's seen and said a lot of things. It's what he does that's important. Not what he sees or says

Like substituting a goalkeeper during a game. 🤣🤣🤣
