@johncrossmirror Didn’t ALL of the media try and tell us that this Arsenal squad was the best squad ever assembled in premier league history???

Why Arsenal's recruitment last summer should be under microscope... the spending was huge, the results have been mixed. City's deals in Jan - Guehi and Semenyo - were game changers and good value. Andrea Berta's first summer very hit and miss football.london/arsenal-fc/new…

Happy to help out when you’re busy 😂

@davesproat I know. But his job as a commentator is to be neutral. He isn’t.

@StanCollymore To allow Masters, PGMOL and the cartel clubs to control the outcome of games to suit their agenda!

@SkySports_Keith Whoever allowed the isak saga to drag on all summer is primarily to blame !! Someone must have known early on he wanted to leave ?

The more you think about last summer’s transfer window, the more it has killed Newcastle’s season - and will also hamstring them in future windows.
£222m worth of talent signed last summer (4 players) on the bench today, only getting a handful of minutes between them.
If even two of them had been an immediate success (like Isak, Bruno G, Trippier, Burn etc were) #NUFC would be in a much stronger position and IMO in European places.
In addition to the psychological problems when they go in front (25 point dropped from winning positions), it feels like there’s a real issue with staleness in the team.
You can get away with one big-money signing not working out…but not 4 in one window.
(NB. I think Ramsey is a player btw, but he’s not played enough due to injury).

💰 Eddie Howe when asked why £124m strikeforce Nick Woltemade & Yoane Wissa again started on the bench 🗣️ "I don't pick the team based on transfer fees. I have to pick the team based on what I see. I thought Will Osula was training well and deserved to start. I thought he played well. He took his goal well. He's got the physical attributes, the determination to do really well."

@England Should be no where near the squad! Once you refuse to play for your country you should never be given the opportunity ever again!!

@davesproat @RyanDavenport89 @nikefootball I actually haven’t seen the price point yet and can’t find one for sale for some reason - what we talking, £100-150 I’m guessing

@henrywinter Rosenior is becoming the TikTok cliche filled click bait meme we all expected when he got the job!!

There are bigger issues in the game than Chelsea’s huddle around the ball. Howard Webb has bigger issues to address as refs' chief (VAR application, refereeing standards, grappling at corners etc) but he should have a quiet word with Chelsea. It was the opposition’s kick-off. Do your huddle in your own half.
Someone at Chelsea should have a word with Liam Rosenior. Consider your reputation. If the huddle is mind games, new-age bonding or designed to wind up the opposition, whatever, it's not very effective. It’s hardly the Haka. Chelsea lost. At home.
Rosenior is a promising head coach but the way he defends the huddle is slightly weird and undermines only himself. Rosenior has already shown he’s territorial pre-match, having criticised someone from Arsenal being in Chelsea’s half during the warm-up.
A ritual “to respect the ball”? Respect the game first. Respect the opposition. Respect their kick-off. Respect your own fans by winning. Rosenior’s post-match comments were either naïve, cringe-making or diversionary after a defeat.
Those of us who want Rosenior to succeed hope he does open his eyes and ears, who perhaps has a managerial mentor he can turn to (Leroy?). Because Rosenior does have some very good ideas, because we’ve seen his promising work at Derby, Hull and Strasbourg, and spoken to him along the way. He's trying to succeed at Chelsea with a club recruitment strategy that has left him without sufficient experience on the field, certainly at centre-back, or elite quality in goal.
Rosenior doing well would be good for the standing of home-grown coaches and also good for Chelsea not to have constant managerial churn. But he's yet to convince many Chelsea fans he's worthy of the role. New ritual side-shows don't help. What about rediscovering Chelsea's old ritual of winning?
Back to Webb. He should also have a word with his ref Paul Tierney. Be stronger. Tierney looked weak trapped in the middle, a supply teacher surrounded in an unruly playground. Hugged by Cole Palmer, Tierney’s authority was undermined further.
Tierney should have spoken to Reece James, Chelsea’s captain and one of the more sensible characters in the game. Tierney should have pointed out it’s Newcastle’s kick-off and tell him to do the huddle further back. There are enough match-balls around the apron of the pitch. Borrow one. Do your ritual - and then focus on getting into the Champions League positions. That will safeguard Rosenior's job, not respecting the ball. #CFC
