Newcastle's intensity a long way off from last season, bringing fancy Dans like Tonali sent them back. Longstaff more suited to the premier league.

This system will not work without our controlling wide players, we'll concede a couple here

We seem dead set on signing a midfielder from the pramier league, only a year after they signed for their team without pulling up trees but having their price double regardless. Probably target Boubacar Kamara when this falls through.

Hand on the shoulder was enough for a penalty for Laporte on Vestergaard and Dias on Salah, never see it for any other side

Palace a pretty solid and wily side, Arsenal always look turgid without Zinchenko though, world class player

Caicedo actually listening to Pochettini there, usually players have an air of "yeah yeah just let me on the pitch"

Fernandez wants to maintain his 2% winning record with chelsea. Challenge was outside the box anyway, what's the point of var.

Deliberate again

Navas is a machine

How many times will they give it to Gallagher surrounded by 4 Liverpool players

The situation between him and Pep reminds me of Mancini with Lescott, won stuff with him but seemed to never fully trust him. Hopefully Gravdiol is not the equivalent of the Savic/Nastasic experiments in Replacing Lescott. Part of the frowny face brigade but you probably should expect that with...

Should be given, snoozing from that quick throw

Don't really rate him, lightweight, gives the ball away and terrible defensively. Think he owes a debt of gratitude to Alexander-Arnold's total unwillingness to defend for the hype he got last season. He's better than Grealish in the same way Cucurella was "better" than Zinchenko.

Adding endless extra time is the laziest way of dealing with the issue, absolves referees from keeping proper time & actually cracking down on time wasting. Some poor saps are going to be on the end of a record 90+20' "last" minute defeat at Anfield or OT this season.

Mbappa is exactly the type to rake it in for a couple seasons there, people will still be banging on about him being the best player in the world when he's approaching 30 and never played in a serious league. Lunacy.

Is there a danger of a Croatian clique in our dressing room, thought it's been something we've looked to avoid. Especially as Kovačić said in his interview he doesn't know any of our players which seems a little unusual.

Not sure Aluko is as far wide of the mark as it seems. Had a theory for a while that City want Arsenal as our buffer to Utd & Liverpool. Yes they provided the stamped paper for the letter but they'll never be as bad as those other two and now with Arteta, Zynchenko, Jesus all there, wouldn't be...

Thought this link would have died by now as find it a little odd. Rice suggested in quarters as a replacement for Xhaka at Arsenal or Gundogan for us. Both players this season spent much of their time just outside the box or getting into the box to score. Rice simply is not a final third player...

Don't think that's a foul on Bernardo in fairness

Reffing in the perfect style to benefit them. He was awful against Madrid too, we just played well enough to take it out of him hands
