Panda we started as per usual, controlling the shape well. the goal was so out of character for our defense
Don Pacifico Gabriel shouldn't have followed him into the midfield.
Zubimedi gets sucked in when he doesn't need to for that goal
Rice needs to man the fuck up and stand up a little. We deserve a better game from him
tazmania I said in preseason I have my eye on him this time around. He needs to do a lot more for such a flagship player.
Mirth What you're saying is that having Nwaneri on the pitch instead of Merino would decisively improve our chances from here. Debatable at best. We've just won a corner, do you want Merino or Nwaneri on the pitch?
Burnwinter We've just won a corner, do you want Merino or Nwaneri on the pitch?
Are you serious?
Qwiss Overloading with players in areas that don't matter. The best top football today is played in quick phases but I guess Arteta didn't get the memo. Pep is laughing like an evil sith on the bench - he even has a scab on his face and everything. This is too easy for him.
Mirth Are you serious?
Perfectly serious. But let's set it aside and focus on winning this match, because there's no way to out-argue a fan whose notion of applying Occam's Razor is to assume the manager's repeatedly being an idiot in the exact same way.
City time wasting already. Raya would be booked for that.
Another cockup, nerves are ultra high here.
Burnwinter fans are agitated. 40 more minutes of this and it'll be ugly
This ref is giving us nothing, the players need to know to stop flailing about
tazmania Trossard getting absolutely bullied
Why is the ref not calling any fouls when our players are getting knocked down. Its time to start doing the same.
I really don't get playing Trossard today.
CPM take Merino off, move tross central and let Martinelli or Eze take on the left
Merino slowing everything down and losing ball 🫣
Gyoks first touch is as good as adebayors
Would have been perfect ball for matinelli there - need his pace
Irishgunner Yeah, you need physicality in big games. Trossard is a super-sub.
I really want to like Merino because he has technical qualities but still struggling to see how he fits in this midfield.
Don Pacifico he’s Rice’s back up and our 3rd choice Cf. That’s it.
Don Pacifico I like him too just play him instead of Rice not with him.
Don Pacifico I'd have him over Rice so far this season
