Given the context of last season, never has there been a more important opening day game for us than this one.

3½hrs to go before kick-off.

Bayindir coming in for Onana.

Bayindir

We have been the better side.

Stoke City are there for the taking, we should keep probing.

Ugarte is playing against us.

The better team lost.

So unlucky - as has been the case in recent meetings against Arsenal, they get undeserved 3 points. Plenty of positives to take out of the game - the future looks bright.

These 2 give me so much optimism.

You can not watch this game and the take away out of it is that the manager has to be sacked.

So you only talk about Casemiro when he has a poor game (which he rarely does) but when he plays well you pretend as if nothing happened? 90% of you were saying he's finished and shouldn't be in the team 🤔

Seeing lots of people saying this was a foul - NO IT WASN'T! Just because Saliba touches Bayindir doesn't mean it's a foul. First of all he has to be aggressive, thereafter he should've climbed over Saliba and punched the ball. That's what competent GKs do.

This moron hasn't done anything of note since he left Dortmund yet he thinks he's still entitled to £350k/week - worst signing in the club's 147 year history.

This is what Bayindir should have done.

All 4 teams have one thing in common, they've all won trophies in the last 1000 days.

Dan James is twice the player Sancho is.

By the look of things Amorim isn't a fan of Mainoo. He hasn't started him in any of the big games let alone the lesser ones since he came. The biggest hint for me was when he brought him for 90seconds in the Europa League Final. He has no future at the club in this system imo.

This worries me.
