I remember shouting “Szoboszlai is a LCM who requires playing on the left cause that's the only role/consistent angle that expands his range and justifies his release clause” all summer window.

Liverpool fans called me a hater. This gimmick has happened too many times.

For me, Granit Xhaka is Leverkusen's best player and I don't say that out of loyalty.

Arsenal need to prioritize the league. Doing that means not pushing players in the red zone in the Champions League. We have seen what can happen when you chase two rabbits without enough depth last season.

Semis + league title is good enough. Prioritize that league.

yeah the guy who has mastered corners, penalties, finishing and new dribbling angles from scratch certainly isn't the most intelligent in the squad.

It's really easy. Just substitute Odegaard in for the 2nd half when we are a few goals up and wanna keep the ball some more.

This is how you use Scamacca. Just put him in the box and ask him to reach all the balls.

West Ham wanted him to be creating chances and dragging his team up the pitch like he was Nicolas Jackson.

Martin Odegaard has the same aesthetic appeal that Phil Foden and co have.

His bad games are quickly forgotten, bad moments easily forgiven, nobody argues his world class status, nobody even remembers that he totally disappeared the first half of this season.

Saka, on the other…

Allianz... an evil descends on you.

That's like saying Pep will never bench a specific player for a specific game.

Do you think we are collecting a 2 for every position squad for nothing?

This is only a serious issue if you can only play/win with the ball as the away side, if your only route to success is to tiki taka.

There's a reason certain types of teams seem to survive these big away grounds at the highest level repeatedly.

This is why you play your biggest, most dynamic squad and don't dwell on the ball.

4-2-4 with Tomi, Partey, Jesus, Havertz and Saka and we will be fine.
