Last season they had more attempts, possession and higher xgoals over the two legs. I think they are better than us at keeping possession and if we win it will be counter and a lot of defending
They're crap. 2/3-0 to Arse
We were 3-0 up and stopped bothering in a derby? That first half we were 3 goals up with 29% and lower xgoals. We got an own goal. Then they equalised, but it was offside by couple of centimetres. It was a great win, but one where a lot went our way. I expect similar game where we have 30-35% possession and defending most of the gameThis is such a braindead take man. The 2-2 we had a much higher xG, and in the reverse we stopped bothering after going 3-0 up and let them get in to it but it was not because they’re some kind of awesome possession based team.
Anyway, Rice isn’t playing so shouldn’t we be dominating them possession wise? Don’t you always say he holds us back? Have you ever managed to string 2 consistent thoughts together in your life?

i don't get this mentality, we are better then them we should at a minimum expect a win against them no matter the circumstances.
After our next 2 away games our league title will be over imoOk honey…
Next time a result doesn’t go our way but we “win on xG” I expect you to display the same energy in defence of the venerable metric
maybe but doesn't mean the season is over, we still got the domestic cups and UCL.After our next 2 away games our league title will be over imo

I expect top 4 and no trophies. I expect regression this season and I already seen the signs first 3 games in which we were not great in any of themIdk, I’ve seen stranger things happen.
I’m still much more confident about the league than CL - our defence can carry us domestically but our attack isn’t quite good enough against the very best imo.
Jaysus isn't even training yet. What makes you think he will be match fit enough to start in a week? Trossard should start at CF if Kai plays at LCM. He's a big game scorer unlike Sus anyway.I hope Jesus is available for this one, we could use his energy and creativity so that he interchanges with Havertz in midfield and upfront.
Sterling Jesus Saka
Havertz Ødegaard
TP5
Timber Gabriel Saliba White
Raya
Wouldn’t mind Calafiori in place of Timber, just to give us more security against their wide player.
Trossard, Martinelli to come on later.
Ricey is suspended. You surely meant Kai ?Rice playing as an 8 means our midfield will be crap for another week. Getting a draw would be lucky for us.
Thanks. I’m in denial about a suspension as I’m still in disbelief and shock. Kai controlling our midfield means a comfortable 2-0 win.Ricey is suspended. You surely meant Kai ?
