Odegaard's comfort on the ball in the final third where space is limited makes a gigantic difference to our play. We need another player who can knit it all together in some similar way when he's out.
Arsenal @ Sporting CP - Tue 26 Nov 20h00 GMT (Champs League)
Excellent first half, we've looked very good and there are more goals here if we want.
Wouldn't mind seeing Rice rested in the 2nd half as well as Jesus, Sterling and... our most contentious squad member right now (Nwaneri) getting minutes.
Our first choice back four - and it’s brilliant
Don Pacifico ...oh and minutes for Tierney if we really want to take the piss.
Odegaard is key , they can't get him marked because they don't know if he's going with the ball or releasing it quickly. Take him out the side and that's where we struggle. The kind of football he plays can't be done by anyone else in the squad.
Ødegaard is the best player in the pl.
Don Pacifico more like they lost their manager. It's a huge difference for them. Smart money will be betting on benfica to hunt them down for the league on the evidence of how much they regressed.
worst start
Terrible goal to concede
Kel Varnsen come on man
Poor from Calafiori
Morita is fouling Saka all night.
Typical
No. He is.
This refs shit
Kel Varnsen nope Saka is better
Raya booked for time wasting? Come on, its at 52 mins.. Why are we already wasting time? I know they were pressing a little, but we need to shut this shit down now and see the game out.

Clrnc I mean, I'd need to check the data but don't recall many Portuguese teams getting past the QF over the last three decades. What looks good against Boavista doesn't need to cause this current Arsenal side problems.
