Didn't watch because of this. The replays aren't posted til 48hours later. Was at work and couldn't watch til I got home. Don't want to avoid accidentally seeing scores for 2 days.

And sometimes it's unavoidable with tv, social networks, and assholes texting you.

Not worth it imo. Not for league cup at least. I know they have other shite on there I'm not very interested in soccer wise.

That's a super weird lineup. I hate this experiment with Xhaka at CB.





Might be necessary. He's a durable player. Need others for the league games. Euro and league should be priority.

I really wish we had a player like Pulisic right now. Mkhi is so damn wayward. I feel like he constantly makes the wrong decision

I think our issues at the back need to be fixed ASAP, but if we had money to spend and we used it on Pulisic I would get an erection that would last for the rest of my life.

Looks like Ozil could be up for sale. His wages could make it difficult so there's talk we could even loan him out. Crazy situation.

No clue where we will get creativity from. Losing Ramsey and Ozil and keeping Mkhi is crazy.

Beautiful goal. 4 at the back, Laca and Auba together, pressing like we did earlier in the season. Sign me up for more of this.

Kol has looked good. Need more of this from him.

Of course that a-hole Barnes scored. He shouldn't even be on the pitch. He should have at least 4 yellows today. EPL has nothing but shite refs. It's unbelievable how much they screw up every match.

Ozil certainly stepped it up today after being dropped midweek. Hope it continues.

I just wish we could keep some goddamn clean sheets.

Clean sheets are for next year. Losing Holding was a massive blow. We need a CB bad. Hopefully Mavropanos can step up. We shouldn't have loaned out Chambers either.

In Emery's first year at Sevilla, he only had 6 clean sheets in league play. The next year he had 14. We've had 3 so far this year in league play. I expect a similar jump next season, because we do a lot of things right defensively. The spacing is good, players aren't getting dragged all over the field, and the team defends as a unit. It seems like every small mistake we make is punished though, in my view. We are defending miles better than we did under Wenger.

Would honestly be sad to see Ozil go. But if we could turn his wages/transfer fee into Isco and a CB then we would be 100% better off.

I wouldn't want Isco. Though we do need a dribbler. I wish we could get Sancho. I would love Pulisic too. Isco is one of those dribblers who draws players to him. We need someone to drive into attacking areas from midfield. We used to have that in spades too. Diaby, Wilshere, Rosicky and Cazorla could all do that. Now the only player with that ability is Guendouzi, and he doesn't do it all that often.

A wide player we might be able to get might be Federico Chielsa. I still think trying to get someone like Brais Mendez would be a good idea too.

We've lost an awful lot of creativity over the past 5 years, and haven't really replaced it.

My question is why our #10 misses games bc of “tactical reasons”, stirs ups up controversy, and when he comes back he’s captain. Am I overvaluing the captain band?

honestly believe it’s more rest and injury than it’s tactics.

Mkhitaryan is out for 6 weeks. Can't catch a break with these injuries.

While we need this depth, I hope we play one of the youngsters in his place. Mkhi has been fairly bad this season. I'd love to see Eddie or Saku play in his place.
