Anyone seeing these Lyon highlights during HT? Depay looks ridiculous, someone in the PL should sign him if he's as cheap as it's claimed he'd be.

Seen that as well. Laca replacement please.

 

[Jury]

@OnlyOne by some benzocaine from your mate who reckons it’s coke. That works. Or just go chemist and ask them for baby teething powder.

 

[DanDare]

Forget Aouar, Saka is the man we need

Yeah Depay is a walking highlight reel nowadays. With Dutch national team too. Matured really well.

 

[sdotzdot]

Saka is so good, what a mature player for his age. He really does have all the qualities to reach the top.

Elneny has been pretty good but he’s never been a horrible player for us. Always just painfully average, would always be a good squad player to have around but nothing more.

 

[roz]

Wouldn't say quality - he should have done better with both his chances. He's done pretty well in terms of keeping possession and pressing from the front but it's above average rather than actually good/great from him. His current limitations are clear. I still think he has a pretty high ceiling but he's still a bit raw. I'd really much rather he played more at Leeds but Bielsa ****ed that up. I want to see him over 30+ games as a starter somewhere, get some refinement and a different kind of pressure.

His first chance was more difficult than it looked, but still took it well. yeah should of done better with the second. Love his press, got really decent movement. How he didn’t start ahead of that bum Bamford is a mystery

 

[say yes]

Fair enough for owning up to it @Rex Banter , @bingobob and @GDeep™ , but I genuinely think Mourinho would have been a horrendous hire.

His football has been out of date for about a decade now, he’s awful for youth prospects and he is guaranteed to ruin your squad harmony. Hasn’t been a disaster at Sp**s yet, but we all know that’s coming, and he hasn’t actually made that much of a short term impact either.

So so happy we got Mikel instead.

 

[A_G]

He’s crap.

You said you wanted to swap Auba for Tammy Abraham ffs, I don't trust your scouting...

 

[Miyata]

Think it's more the gums, they swell over the tooth sometimes.

I had the same issue on a citytrip in Slovakia. Had to endure a whole weekend like that.
What helped me was 2 things: pain killers and dark rum.

 

[2Smokeyy]

They need to rename this trophy “Super cup”. None of this Charity/community shield bollocks.

Charity FC winning the Charity Shield.

You love to see it.

 

[OnlyOne]

AM really coming together to help when OnlyOnes in need.

 

[Rex Stone]

Piss off Banner. Me being the negative one has been blown out of the water with the amount of whining everyone else has done. I'm a realist. Give me a reason to be positive and i will be.

Not even saying your negative per se, just pleasantly surprised.

 

[MutableEarth]

Reiss won us the last game against liverpool. was instrumental for both goals.

Yeah, and that's the first step. He needs to build on that whenever he can. Build up a nice little backlog of good performances in the bank.

 

[L3T5 PL4Y]

He's been immense, Mohammed El Bruyne.

Bossing it like Xhaka could only dream.

Prime Pirlo.

I had a feeling Arteta might like him a lot. He is the sort of player he should be able to get a lot performances out of.

 

[Leo_ense_]

Forget Aouar, Saka is the man we need

Stick him in midfield 3 alongside Xhaka and Partey

Yeah it’s going to be a fun ride watching his antics at Sp**s. Already seen glimpses of it. It was super fun at United.

 

[Yousif Arsenal]

Elneny definitely value up from 5m to 15m after today display

Brilliant pundit though.

 

[Ibadan]

You sound surprised about elneny this is his ability sideways backwards passing try not to lose the ball and positioning is good and these kind of games suit him.

Would people be disappointed if we kept him? He can do a job in games like this. He's willing to receive the balls in more difficult situations like Xhaka which another + for me.

 

[Jury]

There's a reason I wanted Arteta after Wenger went, when you were all lusting after Emery, and this is it. Was even happy to put with people laughing at me.

Nope, Arteta was my man from the start. I accepted Emery, as you did.
