Coombs Yeah I'd like to see him in a midfield 3 with Odegaard against the bus parkers. I think Arteta would be unwilling to move Saka around but I am actually hoping he's given a fair chance to compete with Martinelli and Trossard for the spot on the left.
A left footer on the left can definitely work. Raphina was reluctant to play on the left for Barca if I remember correctly but look at him now
Tactics Saka knows the role well, and he's mature enough to be just as devastating. Ethan can replace his threat from the right, which could really tie defenses in knots trying to figure out who to try and stop.
Saka's right foot is pretty good, too.
Tactics -- I'd rather see Saka as our left 8 before putting him out at left wing. He's got the talent and build to play centrally, and he could still fashion a shot from that position.
Claudius we need to sign Adam Idah!
Is Partey injured? Hope not, and Arteta just hooked him for being shit.
Ugh, how the fuck did we not score there?
Brugge score π
MistaT it looks like 1-1, no?
Odegaard trying to be the first player to produce negative xG.
nice defending by Kiwior and Cala there
Nwaneri is silly good

Claudius jinxed it π
Game intelligence to the moon
Romero with a Taxi Driver do.
Heβs a huge chump
Great skill and instinct. Low centre of gravity. See how he sticks to the ball like blue. And even just the speed of thought to take the shot just now. He's unlike most of our players in terms of the complete attacking package
As it stands now.. Barca would finish 1st.
City are back in it. Important we continue to win and don't fall back to fifth like we were earlier. That bracket in 5th now has teams like City, Real Madrid, Milan and Leverkusen. We have Juve, Atalanta, Inter, PSV and Brest.
Claudius where are you getting this info? I can't figure out these potential brackets for the life of me.
Coombs Yeah my brain is refusing to even bother engaging with any of it until its all certain at the end of the matchday haha.
Havertz shalt not rest lol.

Edit: Never mind. Seems Claude's already shared that link.
Ha, feel like that was less of a dive than Partey's.
