Sad to hear what has happened to soccercatch.com, gone as one with the matrix.
The English bias in this sub when it comes Ramsdale and Raya is absolutely shocking lol. At least when Raya fucks up, he can make a save to stop the goal 😂😂
If you can’t see how Raya improves us then you’re just too sentimental
It is actually worrying that it is our fanbase that is willing to do a witch-hunt on Raya regardless of the circumstances and mistakes. Ramsdale will get his games, so will Raya. Mistakes happen, but sadly in this state of the EPL where a “draw” is considered as a “negative loss” removes any form of humanity in football.
In golf they call it a case of the shanks. But Caicedo so far has got a case of the wanks. Everything he touches turns to fucking jizz.
Havertz just looks more natural in Odegaard’s space, he seemed to be ready for every duel and linkup going through that area.
So we either channel that Leverkusen brain of his or work on him being the 9 surely?
Who else thinks going invincible is a real serious target for Mikel Arteta and co
Does Arteta have it in him to drop Ode (or at least change his role) to save our season?
Two worst games of the season, high flying Spurs and an improving Chelsea side but still come away with a draw.
First half terrible today but I’m sure the boys will learn from it.
Partey has to be playing instead of Jorginho, Tomiyasu instead of Zinny and Havertz has to start up front at this point.
Whether people like it or not, Havertz is our best 9 so far this season.
I am in no way advocating for this, I’m asking purely out of curiosity because I saw someone in the match thread suggest it: Is the Raya deal an option to buy or an obligation to buy? If we wanted could we send him back to Brentford in the summer? Again obviously we won’t, I’m just curious
It’s a sale disguised as a loan with option to buy for FFP purposes.
Basically he’s an Arsenal player.
I think I’m going to ignore most of the Raya-Ramsdale debates because what you want is probably not achievable until one of them becomes Alisson and Neuer is dead and Alissons don’t come abundant
Not being fooled by these Havertz stats
£65m and Arteta doesn’t even trust him to start against City and now Chelsea. I don’t know what the solution is to the 8 but I know for a fact we haven’t found it. I would say Rice as the 8 Partey as the 6 but I also don’t trust Partey to be running back and forth without getting injured inevitably. Then you consider Zinchenko as the 8 but his injury record is not great either and we don’t have much depth in defence
Sevilla tied Real today, don’t expect two easy games in CL. Boys better be awake.
White was amazing. Tomi too. Trossard seems to be the real impact sub because I think he only had one good game from a start that too in the preseason?
Trossard was good against PSV from the start, but yeah aside from that not much.
Just seen Rice post game interview. Class. Speaks like a true leader and played like one today refused to give up and stands up when things get dim.
I got downvoted for saying this a little after preseason but don’t be surprised by next season he gets captaincy. True leaders amongst men will always end up leading men
