but in January Jesus was already injured for the remainder of the season while it had become clear that Sterling was not at the level Arteta would want of a squad player, yet Vieira wasn't recalled.

if that is true (and I think it's very possible), then it underlined how mad it was to go so long without replacing Edu.

Cucurella being all "Oh boy here I go" then "Fuck I'm going to get mogged" is good

Saka at 70–80% is the version of him we usually get, and is one of the best players in the world. I'd be very happy with Saka at 50% so long as the line is going up.

Dude, you can. They've lost 1 game all season.

Neymar, Grealish for sure.

The usual term is Antichrist.

Guy has been superb, in attack I think White offers us more but defensively he is better. I'm confident whatever side he plays he'll hold things down, it is the other side I am worried about!

weirdly another one who was criticised as a tremendous waste of money when he first arrived

Lewis-Skelly in the locker room trying to figure out how to break into the England team with Nwaneri and Dowman:

haha. There are two parts to what I wrote 1) he’s been one of our better Odegaard alternates, but the opposition was a bit shit 2) the type of goal he scored is what we are missing. Not endorsing exte...

don't think he's that weak a character.

I'd give him a pass because every player is capable of a bad game. All wingers go missing at times. Its normal.

its mostly scousers, deranged comes with the territory.

while Sterling should be put out of his misery now, theres no doubt that he’s been the best English winger of past 25 years after Beckham

Rice is fine, he does what he's going to and Arteta knows he's better as a CM than a DM. Putting him DM doesn't unlock his attack on the right, it just means almost no attack from him and we are less ...

hey don't deprive people of another chance to diss the captain!
