If anything, we’re missing a back-up for Erling, though considering we won the League, playing with a false nine, I’m not overly concerned.

If Pep and Txiki are happy with the squad, so am I.

Yep. If there is nobody available that improves us, hold the money until there is.
 
First half was football porn and twas the best we've played in a long time .. second half had more match jeopardy but we dug in and won comfortably at the end ... an ominous performance without Rodders & Foden ... the brother was critical of Doku which I found rather harsh - he's still on an upward improvement trajectory for me and waz kicked off the park at times and confident that the 'end product' will come under Pep ... also a bad day for the Grealish & Eddy naysayers who were both bril on the day ... wudda ripped your arm off for 9 points after these 3 games with the bonus of Gunners dropped points today ... will.be at our next game and BUZZIN for it ... onwards and upwards ...
 
Just watched the extended highlights and focused on Rico’s 2v1 last man defending again…

And realised it was actually 3v1 last man defending and he literally could not have done a better job.

They didn’t score what looked a certain equaliser because of how he positioned, then repositioned, and then repositioned again whilst sprinting back toward his own goal.

I really have no idea how people can claim he is a poor defender.

It was 2 bookable fouls against him in quick succession that led up to him being substituted. Wise from Pep, because they were queuing up to kick him at that point. Almost as if their manager had told his players at HT to stop him getting forward by whatever means.
