Zart

it feels like i've been watching this game for 4 hours already

I think we were watching two different games

Paquetá > Bruno = Douglas

Bruno for me but it’s very close between him and paqueta. I wanted both so badly when they were at Lyon

We are overachieving this season you won't believe what i am saying but it is the truth

Bento a great shout. Simons is a dream, though he’ll cost an arm and a leg. I still think we’ll only make 3 bigger signings and a backup GK which would exclude Kadioglu and one of Gyokeres/Simons, maybe a winger in their place. Have a feeling Ferdi will end up in Italy.

Yeah I’d be comfortable with that but I just don’t see Arteta doing it tbh. It maybe favours his build up being from deeper. My gut feeling is Zinny will be phased out sooner or later.

BRO chill out hes fast but not that fast no way but if we talk about defenders only then he might be the top or in the top

esse +3 é da reputação internacional, mas geralmente nao muda no over normal dos caras

'Fully fit Partey' is a myth, so J20 is the clear winner.

He's the definition of an inverted fullback. So much so that on possession he's usually in the midfield and Blind acts as the true left back

Is he die?

bro hasn't seen either Ribery or Robben :(((( and Trent for Liverpool

I just get the feeling that his legs are gone. I know he’s not fit and needs the benefit of the doubt but he’s looked absolutely miles off it in those little cameos he showed just before the international break

Partey is cooked + a rapist

Tim Berlac’s week so far: https://s3a.sofifa.net/1b25301a0f9d35bea7baed3dcbbc3e6dd95bfd00.jpg https://s3a.sofifa.net/304cf8f330ff1926065ff8a746bf1e4b490fc9f2.jpg https://s3a.sofifa.net/259dc8c6575e87378a2d4dedbd53a065eced86a7.jpg https://s3a.sofifa.net/6d504fcb9bc34aade08d2f6d4a6345d55d0d7fd0.jpg https://s3a.sofifa.net/5a0f10b09932c582881904dbfafc2e511446765f.jpg https://s3a.sofifa.net/24961c78302dc9a4a66b5b154c714621813e8430.jpg https://s3a.sofifa.net/13d5747f56b5542be75820857ce473e4eb445ddd.jpg

If Simons becomes available I’d go all out for him. Insane talent. I’d have Simons and a cheaper striking option like Sesko/Zirkee all day long. LW/RW/CM all in one.

Beta mentality confirmed.

Gabriel Mercado to Arsenal… here we go!

https://s3a.sofifa.net/94f1ef165d42b37f3b22b9379e734bbcca3e6a2c.jpg What do you guys think about Kaminski from Luton as our backup keeper next season? Prem experienced, should be cheap (might be out of contract- can’t find a unanimous date), good on the ball, good sweeper, great advanced shot stopping statistics. He’s the right age too, we could let Hein or Okwonkwo develop into the role with him.

It’s the XI after you smoke a joint

Get well bro

https://s3a.sofifa.net/7f26eb82fce34506a2223c889688ba86b0263f08.gif David Raya

Andddddd he’s out for another 6 weeks

Don't worry we all probably have heard immunity by now. Enjoy the match.

Argentine players are overrated

You know what's funny? Here in Brazil, people treat Alisson like he is the worst keeper OAT, meanwhile in England you all see how great he is. The average brazilian football knowledge is really shit

Why does Ramsdale get treated like he was a member of the Invincibles and a club legend above reproach? He's a mid GK who got replaced, end of. Leno has more of a legacy here.

He has all the physical attributes to be a striker except the mental attribute. He prefers playing on the wing and be creative (Ronaldinho is his Idol). Perhaps if a new coach can mould him to be killer upfront then he could become a striker. This reminds me of Ibrahimovic when he was young (very flashy and skillful but didn't score a lot) and the Capello made him train to become a goalscorer. I hope the same happens to Rafa.

Will he ever become a striker? Or at least a "seconda punta" I know that his comfort zone is on the left and he is a lazy guy that only plays with the bal on is feet but i think that the only way for him to make the next big step is to learn how to play in a more centred position and to play without the ball making some movements behind the defenders.

I’d 100% sell Trossard in the summer if it meant we target an explosive winger

Maturing is realising Raya is an upgrade on Ramsdale

Colin Hay is Scottish and a good bloke, but a novelty song band for most Australians. Their best song is this and the video is shot near where I used to live. Looks basically the same now as the 80's. https://youtu.be/RY7S6EgSlCI?si=2eyis2s9gBp5yVMv

That’d be fun if enough of us did it at same time

Honestly I haven't used it in years. I really dislike how Letterboxd has become almost like a trendy social media platform where the goal is to write a "funny" review that goes viral. I was annoyed at the lack of any real critical thought on the platform and lost interest. I'm definitely going to start using it again soon though, my own personal tracking system is becoming an absolute mess.

https://boxd.it/98bpp I just created a new profile and spam rated some of the top 250 rated movies if you want to follow me

That doesn't mean that you shouldn't have options, does it? We've seen in some games that White on the right side is the inverted one. Then you need an actual LB for the LB. Kiwi is going good so far, we know how Zinny will play, Tomi's done well there, Timber is a big mystery. No real fullback at this club is not okay.

I just don't see how he fits. He'd play off the left so what do we do with Martinelli? Playing him through the middle? ig I just answered my own question haha

Right!? I genuinely thought there was no way Rice displaces Xhaka or Partey, but from literally his first minute it was apparent we had a world class player on our hands. I was sold on him 10 minutes into his debut.

there’s a chance we are top of the league come next Monday baguette don’t you dare

So what? Last season we broke our goalscoring record in the Premier League era, in no season with Henry or Ian Wright were we so prolific, we'll probably break it this season too. The important thing is for the team to score goals, not one specific player, this is a team sport. You're obsessed with a 9 who scores more than 20 goals thinking that this necessarily raises the level of our attack, when in fact the game has infinite dynamics going that also generate goals, having 3 players scoring 15 goals each is much better than having one who scores 20 but messes up the link-up and makes the other 2 score 10 each. Manchester City scored more goals in PL in the season before Haaland, without Aguero. And Watkins isn't a clinical striker, he never has been, he's a dynamic speed striker who is having the best season of his career, I love him but he doesn't offer much more to our attacking moves than the physically fit Jesus.

It's weird to say it but we genuinely could have gone for those 8+:0 scorelines that some top teams get in freak scenarios bc we had 5 goals in the first half. Not complaining just thoughts, nobody is going to be disappointed from a 6:0 win and the 3 points in the bag.

Just remember next time you moan about how Arsenal will be the death of you and how hard it is to support us….. you could be a Sheffield United fan blud

For the same range, I pick Gyokeres, which suits our system aswel. The guy scores 88% of his goals from inside the box with both feet and has the same agent as Ødegaard.

Diogo Costa, Trubin, Diomande, Antonio Silva, Inacio, Quaresma, Hjulmand, Varela, Joao Neves, Pote, Gyokeres, Evanilson,...

what he said ^

think he meant spend 50 on him so we can also invest in a winger

Come and See é do caralho, nenhum chega perto

For me his acceleration should be like 96 & Sprint speed 92. In the first 3/4 meters he is simply an alien. https://x.com/compsacm/status/1515792992816226305?s=46&t=jOj_QAQQ_XRw5AQfdHwRsA

Honestly Saliba a bit but it's nothing outrageous.

You fucking disgrace of a chelsea player. All you can do is run and nothing else. This pathetic pussy is playing like he’s been on the pitch for 2 hours while he’s been on for 30 minutes. Disgrace

he looks like if Saliba and Gabriel had a child

It’s alright little buddy, one day you’ll grow up and realize all this effort put into hating other people could be used on something productive like doing your math homework that’s due on Monday. Next time your mom is crying wondering what went wrong, tell her it’s all your fault and she would have been better off without you.

Tim has completely lost it https://s3a.sofifa.net/06dc3857265a614fb7db814ba5e0af62ac20a5bb.jpg https://s3a.sofifa.net/9dfaf992b4af3f4d1122696442e358a5bafa8364.jpg

No no, he was shown on the bench with Jorgi and Martinelli, all laughing

Lots of things to talk about after this embarrassing loss but I'd like to talk again about the bench and the subs. Jorginho is on in the 74th min for Trossard (most obvious change in the world) and apart from that nothing: Nketiah can't get even 5 mins bc he is suddenly not being trusted anymore even as a sub? What happened to the guy who was trusted to be Jesus' sub for 2+ fucking seasons? Nelson... some people defended the action to keep and extend with him yk? That's so mental. We did that only for Arteta to just never rly look like he'd play the guy. What happened to "Reiss is better on the left"? Trossard was needed on the pitch, Jesus was unavailable, Martinelli could have been subbed last 10m for example. Neither him or Saka were subbed off. Cedric is that thing in your freezer that you should rly get rid off, was never going to offer anything yet he's here. Elneny won't be picked if Jorginho can come on. Ofc that Nwaneri isn't getting any mins anytime soon. ESR and Vieira always with some setbacks and seemingly not trusted to make a significant change. Rest of the bench aren't even worth talking about. How are we planning on winning anything big with that mentality and these tactics? Does Arteta rely on more than 15, maybe 16 players? The amount of work we have in the summer is insane.

Guys, we lost don't cope now please accept we are fucking shit in the ucl KOs, embarrasing performance, scored 21 goals conceded 2 just so you lose to porto in the ro6 first leg? fucking shit, we have been shit in every cup competitions this season and don't use the " we got the bigger fish to fry" excuse again, this is literally the biggest competition. Arteta has one chance to fix this shit quickly or we will become the worst club in the ucl

https://s3a.sofifa.net/c051813346414fa216d3735ad310701c05c15749.jpg this was against burnley. get my boy some help, this is why i won't tolerate martinelli slander for his lack of output this season.

Guys I'm off to Porto tomorrow... my first Euro away really hoping for a memorable performance
