When do we have a conversation about Foden? What the hell must he do to get his spot back? I’m sorry but you can’t tell me he wouldn’t have an impact behind Erling.

He will play a lot, but he competes with world class all over the pitch, as they do when they have to get his spot. It isn't about individuals.

I’ll sum up the match thread for the first half to save anyone joining late some time:

Stupid from the ref, more like. The ball was out of play according to the linesman, so how can Alvarez be deemed to have kicked it away?

Doesn't matter, the new rules are that once the ref blows you don't touch the ball.

Its going to take some getting used to but it should be good to stop time wasting.

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

Kinda amazing how little he cost

Dear mods. Please delete all my comments on Kovacic prior to today. Thank you.

don't worry they have all been saved to use against you over the course of the season...

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.

Also not had much of a pre-season, just our 4th match.

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

Dont think cards count for anything today.

Horrifying display so far. Lack of KDB is evident. Not sure how the hell Foden has managed to be sat in favor of Julian as a 10.

To say that you lack perspective is a bit like saying hitler was quite a naughty boy. Prick

Cmon Pep, give Gundog a game, how the fuck has he not played in pre season is beyond me.

I was expecting more from Arsenal tbh. Thought they'd cause us a lot more problems.
