“You do not construct a machine like this and suddenly expect it to play with abandon when the occasion demands it.” System over spectacle under Arteta. ✍️ @eddiegibbs 👇
Eddie Gibbs@eddiegibbs

Arteta’s Arsenal won’t thrill you, won’t charm you, and won’t win many popularity contests. But they will win. Yesterday's Carabao Cup defeat changes nothing. This is a team built for control, for endurance, for the long haul. The Premier League title is coming, maybe more; whether people enjoy the ride or not is irrelevant.

“The Carabao Cup was never the point.” Lose that final, win the league. Arsenal will take that every time. ✍️ @eddiegibbs 👇

Senegal have sensationally been stripped of their African Cup of Nations title after their controversial decision to leave the field of play. What now for African football? CAF have made the decision, but was it the right one? Check out @ghopcroft's article below and be sure to follow for more 👇👇👇
Greig Hopcroft@ghopcroft

Morocco are champions of Africa… but not in the way anyone expected. Senegal won the final on the pitch. CAF have taken it away in the boardroom after that walk off in Rabat. A title decided twice.

“Chelsea benefited from the system twice, once when the breaches happened, and again when the punishment was reduced.” Must-read from @eddiegibbs 👇
Eddie Gibbs@eddiegibbs

#Chelsea broke the rules, admitted it, and walked away with barely a scratch ⚖️ No points deduction ❌ No real sporting punishment ❌ The advantage stays, the trophies stay 🏆 What message does that send, especially with #MCFC still under the microscope 👀 Full piece on my Substack, please subscribe, it's free 👇 itwasalwaysfootball.com/p/chelsea-puni…

“Chelsea’s punishment feels instructive, not corrective. The advantage remains, the deterrent barely exists.” Excellent piece from @eddiegibbs 👇

Salah benched and we saw the exact same Liverpool performance we have seen all season. This isn’t a player personnel issue. It’s been evident since about October.
