not one person from the 46 million that live in Argentina give a fuck that Santi chose mexico over argentina.

That was a terrible game to watch. Glad the boys won. I can’t really say the better team won, because both teams really didn’t off much quality.

oh my goodness I cant unsee it now. surely thats a troll lol

Shaped like a bottle lol. Shame it has good meme potential but I actually quite like it

He's a decent player but definitely a waste of money we could of gotten a better player for that money, 65 million for a rotational player I'd absurd

Like every season, an invisible man for one half, a beast for the second half, so frustrating.

Wtf is this overall, man

ok then go tell Mikel

Calling it now: He’s gonna extend until 2031.

Cedric, Elneny, Nelson and Nketiah are all unsellable.

My mistake, 4.5. I don’t think an extra year and a half detracts at all from what I’m saying. Mourinho was an assistant coach for about as long, that’s before he even took a managerial position. And did he take a huge job? No. He had multiple seasons under his belt by the time he took over at Porto. Arteta has put in a fair bit of time and had some great learning roles, but 4.5 years and 1 domestic trophy is not bad at all. Think about how long Poch has been managing and how little he’s actually won.

this should be Partey's replacement, he's the most similar to him on the market and there's not many.

Only if there was a strong enough breeze

man players snub ireland for the funniest of countries

“North London forever, whatever the weather” Or is it “depending on the weather” Thank you Mikel for putting us back on the map as a serious club again. He hasn’t been perfect so I get the frustration but the discourse online from some “fans” is just embarrassing.

Raya and Gabriel's bozo moment is what changed the tie. Gave Bayern that "yeah we can definitely beat them" moment

I reckon he couldn’t care less lol

take it into context, the league level is much higher this season than last, and the level of competition is also higher QUALITATIVELY we are a better team than last year stop using caveman analysis

because ever since Arteta came in all we’ve done is improved year after year? it’s not that hard to understand

Just a bad year for the epl every season a league underperforms last year la liga only had 1 Spanish team in the semifinals in all 3 competitions

Amorim isn’t better than Arteta. Xabi is staying at Leverkusen Nagelsmann looks lined up to back to Bayern. Inzaghi and Enrique aren’t leaving their respective clubs. Michel isn’t better than Arteta. Schmidt isn’t better than Arteta. Conceicao🤣🤣🤣

That is absolutely outrageous

We can do better than ait nouri

So what we needed last summer... lol this is just like the Wenger days https://s3a.sofifa.net/cc94f0400ec6e15e8c5695eea28d593fca659c85.jpg

+ Timber (like a new signing)

https://s3a.sofifa.net/6a7c9ddcc290752a35cfb479acbd349d912c527b.jpg The same 3 positions that's he's pissed away £200m on over the last 2 seasons.

I'm convinced Xabi holds them at gunpoint before every match lol

I'm scrapping Edu outside the Emirates if he signs Zubimendi. Jorginho replacement is NOT a priority. Rice is a 6 and should stay there until he's ready to retire.

It won't happen but I would love Eze in that left 8 and Brahim Diaz as competition for Saka. No doubt we we go into next season expecting Saka to play another 50 games while coming off a Euros campaign.

The fact that they’ve got 115 charges hanging over them is killing the integrity of the league. You just can’t have the team that’s won 5 out of the last 6 being potential (very likely) cheats which is why they’ve won all these titles. It’s embarrassing for the Premier League in all honesty and it should be talked about way more. The reason Arsenal and Liverpool are being labelled bottlejobs after 1 defeat is because City have just made the bar for winning a league so high. In previous eras Arsenal losing to Villa wouldn’t be “bottling it” like it’s been widely reported, it would be part of the “twists and turns” narrative as it was normal for title contenders to drop points in a run in.

Yep. Farmers league. The fact this has been the closest season in years and with 6 games left both us and Liverpool are saying city will win it. We need the prem back, proper Barclays style. “Ohhhh written in the stars a million miles away”, I need this song back on my tv.

Is the Man City dominance killing the prem? No way all of the top dogs are out of Europe before the semis this season

Can't choreograph football at the highest level. Might work against Burnley but not against Bayern

*A blend of Favoritism & Autism rather than Perfectionism tbh

Koopmeiners

Arsenal must be the only team that you already know within the first 10 minutes how the game will go. It's like we get stuck in a gear and we can't go up or down... You already know if Gabriel and Saliba are putting their foot on the ball and pointing within the first 15 minutes it's fucked.

Probably wouldn’t be any worse than Eddie up top

I miss a fully fit Tierney man. No fucking about, bomb it down the wing and get the ball in the box. We could’ve done with that against Bayern in the last 20 when everyone was dicking about passing it backwards and sideways

Some things never change https://s3a.sofifa.net/fba97baae34cd2cbafdc32f921b7fdca41385466.png

Havertz was a fucking horrible signing btw. Could have gotten either a real midfielder or a real striker for the same price. Instead we have a 6/10 striker and 4/10 midfielder for 65m.

10/10 performance by Eddie btw. What a great 1 touch he had

Not a disastrous game management tbf to Arteta, Tuchel is gonna bottle this the exact same way next round. But sure this gave you some light on what this tournament is really made of. Look at the levels in that Real-City game. Only Odegaard looked like the player who could do what Kimmich did (force that goal). And even they both were drab mechanical for big parts of the game. Arteta treated this like another PL game against his old fellow terrorist. Even the subs were the pre-planned (Trossard and Jesus for 25 mins, Eddie last 5...same old) PL routine. Curious to see what happens to Man City from here on. They are alive (and unlike us they go in or out, kicking) in 3 competitions. We just take the baton so far ahead and then hand it to them next to the finishing line.

Is what it is, UCL is the highest level and we aren't at it. With that being said, Mr Mikel Benitez, you've invested years into building a solid defensive team, make Havertz your last defensive signing. Improve the attacking dynamics and release the wingers from their shackles.

Fair to say Coencecao broke Mikels tactics ? He just spaced out his players a bit more to make Arsenal high press useless and Mikel hasn't really gotten any joy afterwards.

This team needs actual wingbacks. Martinelli is hugging the line to bring width to attack, because he's playing with no wide support all season which breaks his link with forwards. Same with this guy but he's actually not that quick or talented either.

Small game merchant

Southgate will look at those options and see Jordan Henderson

This isn’t Fifa, we’d need like 10 new players to fill out our squad and those players then have to be bedded in properly

Yet got done by Fulham twice.

Watch a lot of ads. It will prepare you for NFL games.

Premier League licking their lips at the prospect of more games and more controversy

Wow that’s really surprising, I never saw that coming

Sorry I didn’t mean any offence by it - I love Leno with all my heart but watching him, Ream and Diop try to play it out from the back will always traumatise me

It's not even close imo it's KDB all day

He is an amazing player irl and in game I bought him in my aston villa carrer mode he is a baller.

Willian

Surely Kimmich as CF so Mikel can finally move Kai to LB.

i genuinely dont understand the point of having an academy if all we are gonna do is develop players for other clubs

I’m laughing rn. First people on here were saying they were happy with the lineup pre match. Then after we lose they complain about Arteta and how we can’t score and that we need a striker. And now they’re complaining about the fact Arteta won’t play the youngsters. Make up your minds haha.

I really hope that Arsenal always plays good and lose at full time
