I think Trossard always gets dropped to give us something off the bench. As Arteta just said in reference to Nketiah being dropped for Havertz, you have to think about how we start the game and how we end it. If we start Trossard, we have no other wingers to bring off the bench.
I really enjoyed Saliba's battle with Haaland at the Emirates. Saliba looked like he knew full well it was the first of many, and I was very impressed with how he handled him for the most part.
Interested to see how up for it they both are today.
White with a nice header
Partey... that's such a dumb yellow ffs.
Ricky1985 barely a touch from Partey, very harsh yellow
This ref is giving City everything so far, inventing fouls out of nothing

Yup, Odegaards pull seemed more of a yellow than that.

It was for kicking the ball away, which they haven't stopped banging on about as the one of the big things they're focusing on this season.
Have to say, they look much more composed than we do. We can hardly string 2 passes together.
Big Willie
Same story as last season. Being completely outplayed. Martinelli and Saka also promptly shut down in their lone forays forward.

That was hardly a kick away. Literally moved the ball 2 meters.
Ricky1985 he literally passed it softly back. Ridiculous
Sloppy by Partey
citeh have had like 97% possession in 15 mins
mdgoonah41 not unexpected. Our performance generally has been poor this pre season

We are staying narrow, giving the wings up to allow them to hit the long diagonals and we are sitting back and not pressing. Seems like it's by design, we'll see how it works out.
Regardless, that was what the yellow was for...

If it was that's even more ridiculous.
Big Willie the emery at anfield tactic
Arteta gets his first booking of many 😂
How is that not a booking?
How's that not a yellow. Now Arteta getsone, bullshit
Qwiss they're obsessed with "behavior" and in the meantime, they don't pay attention to the actual rules. They're bitter, stupid conservatives.
