Arteta must have been throwing cups at walls because Saliba & Trossard have both pulled out. Let’s see if Gabriel follows.

Look at the way havertz caresses the ball down in some of these clips and compare it to what that bodybuilder does upfront.



This was the moment Havertz lost the game for Arsenal. I still can’t believe he missed this.

Every time we lose, we average a 15-game unbeaten run this season We've 15 games left if we go through in the FA Cup and UCL…

William Saliba has now withdrawn from France squad due to an ankle injury. He won’t travel to USA for friendlies vs Brazil & Colombia.

The midfield double-pivot was the least of my concerns on that one, really. Pep kept a flat, compact four-man front to deny them the ball. Rodri/Bernardo behind. That means space is elsewhere. It's on the others to take advantage.





I call those moments a contagion because I think they transmit a message to the rest of your teammates that I don't think we can play through, which then affects all future combinations and decisions, and starts spreading

After Brighton, I defaced a @scottjwillis graphic to show a moment after Calafiori (LB), Havertz (9), Trossard (LW) came on with Eze 10. They reset, stood on the ball, and confidently played through. That kind of play is contagious, too.

@Psalmuel047 This happened consistently throughout the last 15 of the first half and most of the second half. Raya lobs it to Saka here and the press is easily broken.


@saratu We had two shots on target. Brentford pressed them so badly that Raya was kicking it long every time, and basically giving them the ball back. The coach did nothing to help the team. Arteta doesn’t change anything.

Who tf benches Raya for Kepa in a FINAL😭

Once City clocked that we couldn't build up with Kepa, it was curtains. We probably needed Calafiori immediately the build up issue showed up. It didn't happen and that was it.
