Wanting to get rid of Zubimendi is kinda insane

Dude is just fatigued. His first season with no break. Has played like 18 midweek games. Breathe baw

Phenomenal two wins at Spurs and then vs Chelsea. Wish we could keep clean sheets, but wins are wins. We own Chelsea if they aren't run by Russian blood oil money. 8 wins in the last 11 and unbeaten also is GROSS with how good they were from 2004 - 2021.

9 games to go! Keep pushing and putting pressure on City!

3 straight away games on deck. Need to dig deep!

Spurs also may legit get sent down. That is crazy.

Need to start rotating Rice, Zubi, and Timber. The dead legs are clearly showing in their performances the past couple weeks.

With Havertz, merino and Odegaard being in and out we are just thin on players Mikel trusts.

In the fa cup we should be starting anyone in midfield other than rice and Zubi.

We certainly seem to panic in the last 10-15 min of these one goal games. We forget how to maintain possession, kick it long and straight to the other side.

But three points is three points.

Lost in the mayhem of feeling disappointed in a win in a London Derby is…….

HAPPY ST. TOTTERINGHAM’S Day!!!

He needs to trust Norgaard more. He’s gotten barely any PL minutes but looks solid when he plays in other comps.

And Brentford aren’t a bad club. It’s not like he came from the championship.


He’s a premier league veteran. He should be able to play, and play well against most the league. Hes done it before.



Want to add, Zubimendi has covered the most ground in the premier league this season.


The guy just needs some rest. Played 3,900 minutes last season and 3,700 the season before. Is currently on 3,100 with a minimum of 13 games still to play. He is going to play more club minutes this season than he ever has.

Our next 3 Premier League games compared with City:

Arsenal
A Brighton (3/4)
H Everton (3/14)
H Bournemouth (4/11)

City
H Forest (3/4)
A West Ham (3/14)
H Palace (postponed)
A Chelsea (4/11)

I think if we win all 3 of our games leading up to the potential title decider on 4/18, we are in a good way.

I am praying those demanding games against Real Madrid and potentially Bayern affect City. Plus having to make up the game against Palace doesn't really help their recovery either but don't want to bank on that because they are a machine like club.

They could potentially have
H Bayern (4/7)
A Chelsea (4/11)
A Bayern (4/14)
H Arsenal (4/18)


All this to say, I don't care how we win, as long as we win.

B&H coach apparently has issues with how long throw in’s, set pieces, and corners take for Arsenal and i don’t disagree with him at all

they are supposed to be a top 6 club and currently in #1, but they time waste worse the mid/bottom table teams

i don’t understand the logic besides slowing the game down which they already do a good job at it in possession

and at times it’s bitten them in the arse, most recently against Wolves

even as a fan i think we play an ugly brand of soccer, same shite the last 4 years

I dislike the throw in stuff for sure. The other doesn't really bother me

Been a lot of piling on today from other managers & the media about set pieces, which we didn't really hear a peep of when we didn't score from one for like 8 games. Now we win a game with 2 and everyone has lost their head again.

Even Peter schmeichel was talking shite, and it's ironic from a guy that basically caused the back pass rule from back in the 90s

In 13 days, mighty Wolverhampton taking 7 points of 9 from:

1st place Arsenal
3rd place Villa
5th place Liverpool


What a result to get a draw there

Good news.

Looking like still no Odegaard & White. We miss their build up presence at the end of games. Loved Odegaards cameo against Spurs

Nah, football is dead. It's never been this boring before. Forget the goalkeepers used to be able to pick the ball up from a back pass and hold it. No one used to score from corners.



We are witnessing Arsenal Derangement Syndrome. This same Liverpool manager was just saying how boring set pieces are reminiscing about Barca from 15 years ago. Your job is to win games Slot, you dumb frick.

Not many things are exactly the same as 15 years ago. This is just old farts being grumpy.

Raya
Timber
Mosquera
Gabriel
Hincapie
Rice
Zubi
Eze
Saka
Martinelli
Gyokeres

Havertz, Cala, & Dowman on the bench.

I don't really love running the same midfield out again, but Arteta doing Arteta things.
