Mikel, FFS, get off your phone and focus on the game already. Arsenal needs to adjust to us, not the other way round.

is KDB definitely out of this one?

I understand what you're saying, and it makes a lot of sense, but I just believe there a sweet spot in-between. I think that's what Inter/Brentford did in recent times against us. What I don't like is ani-football strategy that rarely works anyway. Having said that, going all out against us is...

That's exactly what they did. More so than Arsenal. Parked the bus and looked for a long pass to Vinicius/Rodrygo, hoping for some moment of magic. I respect the likes of Inter more for trying to do something against us at the Etihad a few days ago, even without a few starting players. Even...

This would be my team as well. Defensive steel, control in midfield, lots of energy, attacking threat. Of course, I am assuming KDB is not fit.

If fit, Jack should always start for us. Such an underrated player.

What a start for Villa. Could have been more as well. Anyway, its pool milan for me now. Should be an interesting game.

I think it matters a lot who are we up against. Rico can do very well against teams that sit back and defend because in such a scenario he gets to utilise his offensive movement which in my mind is his best attribute. As it stands, I would pick Rico at RB against teams in the bottom half of the...

We all know what John brings to this team, and is still one of the best players in the world at what he does. This was a good warm-up for him.

Brilliant player, but Brentford played very well, especially in the 1st half. He needs some time to readjust to those sort of games. His quality is unquestionable.

When is the last time he had a a few good performances? Awful 9/10 times these days. Looked done last season, even more now. Time waits for no man.

Not a left back. We were totally exposed down the left side, with Manu Akanji having to cover, or even KDB at one point. We could have been a couple of goals down because we were so out of shape. He clearly should be playing in midfield.

Our best defender as it stands. Won a ton of duels, got the ball back countless times, dangerous offensively. World-class and still only 22.

Bossing his side today. Absolutely owning the Polish number 16.

Play our strongest team on paper against Brentford (with Rodri, Phil etc.), then against Inter go back to what has been working exceptionally well this season (Kova in the Rodri role, Lewis) and then against Arsenal play what we believe is our strongest 11 on paper and on form based on the 2...

Great goal against Ireland, well done Jack!

Besides football, Rodri is just such an outstanding guy. Perfect role-model for footballers and the fans as well.

He needed that. He was clearly shot on confidence, got some back luck before, and had scarce playing time overall. Most of our fan base writing him off must have also been awful. Make no mistake, players are human and unfortunately also read social media. I think it's only uphill from here for...

Haaland and Kovacic has been our best players this season thus far. Undroppable at the moment. I want to see Rodri next to Kova going forward. Don't want to see Mateo dropped once Rodri is back,

Yeah, after we went 1 up I thought we needed a 2nd or they will punish us, and one great run from Bowen punished us. We could have scored 5 in the firs half, but it's only 2-1. We need to kill the game off ASAP.
