Foden for Grealish imo. Alvarez could be pulled too but at least he is trying somewhat.

 

[flapjack]

Atmosphere is terrible, we are in upper tier no one singing at all....even behind the goal is crap not one song started...we have tried to get some going but no one interested

 

[we are the east stand]

Kovacic looking very good

 

[wolviedinho]

Ortega, Kovacic & Akanji best of ours for me

The attacks all came down Akanji’s side. Saka is hard to stop.

 

[Gray]

Will there be 20 minutes of total added time?

 

[malg]

Ooh you fucking liar , lol

 

[youngbob]

Fine so far.

 

[paulchapo]

We look quite solid which is good but we will miss Gundos creativity and goals. Mahrez was a great option from the bench too but they're gone now. Our forwards, especially Haaland have to do more.

 

[lancs blue]

Need to sub the players on a yellow, no point risking a suspension for the Burnley match.

 

[MellowJoe]

Can't see where the goals will be coming from... No creativity

Rodri might have another crack from the half way line 2nd half

 

[01cravend]

Displays been OK, losing 2 of our 5 most creative players is showing though.. this is where Jack needs to step up/be let off his leash. Ortega, Kova and Rodri been very good

 

[Millennium]

We started very well and dominated in the first 25m, then Arsenal started to play and were the better side for the rest of the first half. It's obvious that we currently lack creativity in the middle.

 

[Blu1]

Lacking pace up top. Need a quick winger. Why were not hitting it over their press is beyond me

 

[Keeper!]

I don't really know why anyone is shocked by this game. All of our seasons start the same, then the snowball effect takes over.

Keep in touch till November and start to gain momentum, people never learn even more weird with our own fan base

 

[Sir peace frog]

Kovacic will be immense this season .

been very impressed with how he has fitted in considering its his first proper(ish) match

 

[Josh_D]

Expected display for me.

Kova will really help with recycling possession. Will just wait to see the other combinations of players and games he’ll play. Like the look of him.

I don’t think people need to worry about Phil not being involved at the start as this is also another match for Pep to try things. There will be reasons why he didn’t start Phil.

I’m sure once Phil comes on, things will go up a notch.

Patience? On here?

Match day thread flapper is back WOOHOO.

 

[IcriedwhenTueartleft]

Interesting 1st half, need a bit more pace upfront. Jack has sort of vanished the last 15 minutes of the half. Couple of top class saves from Ortega, excellent GK.

 

[bluemoon32]

Kovacic is a fine player, good buy for us and fits in well

 

[Stato]

Its clear we are way off last year's standard when we weren't 1 up after 12 seconds...
