Hojlund Premier League 007, I’ll be there

Smith Rowe RCM and Havertz CF vs Sheffield if Jesus is not available 🙏

A wins a win but we can’t keep getting so lucky with these wins

“Arsenal look so beatable this season”

“But we are unbeaten”

Have to move on from TP5 soon, mans becoming a liability with his absences and injury records.

I think the current conversation around Odegaard isn’t really representative of what’s happening. I don’t actually think he’s in particularly bad form. His shooting hasn’t been good but he also overperformed here last season, so regression is expected. He’s given possession away cheaply a few times but occasionally did that last season too.

I’d argue that our inability to be technically secure enough as a team to create sustained pressure means that we’re just not spending a lot of time in a game state that suits his strengths. And the problem here is that when we’re not compressed in the opposition 3rd where he’s sitting in the pockets, he offers little else beyond his decent pressing. It’s the same thing with Jorginho and Zinny, they both like controlled game states and suffer without it, but none of these three are particularly good at helping the team to regain that game state when we lose it (at least zinny and Jorginho can try via 1st phase buildup, an option Odegaard doesn’t have).

Like we see Kai as a tactical choice to play a certain way, Odegaard must be viewed the same. He’s not a “fits every style” type player like Saliba, Rice and Saka are. But when the game suits him, he’s unbelievably good

Somehow my take that we needed ESR instead of one of Eddie/Kai/Trossard for counterattacking yesterday is not landing well.

I understand the defensive questions surround ESR but we lost all attacking initiative after Saka and Jesus went off, with Martinelli tired. It was Rice attempting to carry the ball the few opportunities we had.

Both garnacho and martinelli had one on ones last night. One player helped his team to a win in spain, and one player had to rely on Harry maguire to compensate his mistakes at home to Copenhagen.

Martinelli is literally what United fans think garnacho is

Ramsdale this, Raya that, my keeper is Estonias number one 😤

Feels so great to kick back after a huge win like that. Newcastle v dortmund on my watch list tonight and I don’t even have to care who wins

Not the biggest ESR fan so I can’t believe I am saying this - but if ESR doesn’t get a run at Ode’s starting position now I don’t know how he would be able to crack it.

This is the worst run of form I have seen Odegaard played for us. Too often we see him give the ball to Saka and just remains stagnant and wait for the ball to recycle back to him when Saka doesn’t beat his man. He is so one footed and somehow refuse to make off the ball runs.

We are screaming for someone that is willing running into space and channels and run with the ball to unlock our stagnant right channel. If Mikel still doesn’t give ESR a run now - either he is just toying with ESR or ESR is just having absolute stinkers in training.

You know Barcelona’s pull is massive when they can literally get players to seriously cut their salary just to join them.

Assuming we won the prem this season (or ucl lol) anyone think we’d have a chance for FDJ? Think he’d fit out LCM perfectly with Patino as a back up

Airpod albert going to ajax?

I don’t like that Arsenal and ManU CL matches are scheduled at the same time. I’m not interested in Newcastle to be honest
