Semantics really but I viewed these opening 7 games as Phase 1. That contained the 3 away games at Villa, Spurs and Man City and ended with this interlull. Can anything shorter than 7 games really be considered a phase?
And we have got through it with aplomb with 2 disgraceful sendings off and a loss of key players. We are in the slightly breaking away top 3.
So it bodes well for Phase 2 (lol) with more available players and hopefully with 11 in our team at all times
I’m full of optimism for the Rice/ Merino axis of power, too. That’s not being disrespectful to Partey, I just think Rice is at his best at 6 and Merino will give us real balance on the left.
Feel that we will need some meaningful contributions from Jesus and Sterling with those tough fixtures coming up, particularly if Saka is not able to play every game!
Pedro, for two seasons you’ve hyped a scrub like Fabio Viera while taking shots at a bonafide baller like Partey. All good, we will revisit these comments of yours come end of season
Has anyone got any info on Saka’s injury? I’ve been away and haven’t heard or had the chance to read anything on it. 🤙🏾

It takes time to adapt to EPL especially away games. Merino will Not displace Partey in the team soon but maybe later.
Unless Partey gets injured, Rice is more likely to be displaced by Merino
Raya with a clean sheet and Merino playing for 30 mins sounds like good news to me!
It was great to read about Gabriel’s MotM award for Brazil a few days ago too, as well as Trossard’s goal and assist contribution.

Neve seen a player flatter to deceive so much like FV! Waiting for him to realise those much vaunted potentials is akin to waiting for Godot!
Article also read. Now back to reading boring legal documents.
First! Our position come end of the season!
