@declanstar1 Actually, with how beholden they are for keepers playing in Spain, David Raya is 3rd choice after Joan Garcia. That's how disrespecting it would be with the only reason being Raya a non Spanish League grown keeper.

🚨 Casillas on Unai Simon vs David Raya 🗣️Casillas: "If I was the President of the Royal Spanish Football Federation, I would had given Luis de la Fuente the boot for his belittling statement on David Raya. A coach of the national team is meant to be selecting players on merit, not be a lawyer for Unai Simon. Right now, no keeper in the world is better than Raya, and to have him as number two to Simon, is an abuse and disrespect to footbal" ❓ Who starts for Spain right now: David Raya or Unai Simón?

@FootballEra_ @GNev2 He lost it. Now I don't even know what he's on about.

It’s insane how within a few days @GNev2 singlehandedly ruined the brand Goldbridge built with integrity and balanced takes. It’s such a shame!

@Lfc_samie If you are making a video of why people hate Arsenal, it should be because of what Arsenal is doing as a club and an organization. Not what its fans think.

You wonder why people hate Arsenal so much? This video explains it

@markgoldbridge The difference is that a goal was scored and VAR has the opportunity to review it.

What all the pundits are missing on Sky Sports is, of course it's a foul. But for the last 18 months they haven't been given and there are countless examples of it. So why change course today?

@Lea_EFC Simple. A goal was scored. Had there been no goal, that won't be looked at. But it did, and clearly it was a foul.

These Arsenal players grab, hold and rugby tackle opposition players at every opportunity, yet the second their players get touched VAR saves their arses.

@markgoldbridge Following your argument, it should be one from Brentford or Bournemouth. Nobody expects them to be where they are, but here they are. Everybody expects a lot from United after signing Cunha, Sesko, MBuemo without Europe. Yet why you’re playing once a week.

Player of the season should be the player who has individually had the biggest impact on their teams results across a season. NOT the best player in the title winning team.

@DailyAFC Perfect case of recency bias. And not to mention Alan the Arsenal fan had dunked on him.

🎙️ “How many Arsenal players get into the PSG starting XI?” 🗣️ Gabby Agbonlahor: “One, David Raya. I’m a big fan of Declan Rice, but Fabio [Fabian] Ruiz last night was fantastic & even if he is not available, I like Warren Zaïre-Emery.” ❌🤣

@DougieCritchley Of course it's phenomenonal when a talent like him gets to exert maximum effort only in the CL and chill in league games.

It’s quite incredible that for all the phenomenal players PSG have bought over the years… Messi, Neymar, Mbappe, Cavani, Ibrahimovic, Verratti etc etc… The most IMPORTANT signing in their history could be a €40m Ecuadorean centre back from Eintracht Frankfurt, who had 1 year of experience playing in Europe’s Top 5 Leagues prior to joining. William Pacho had started every Champions League game in the last 2 seasons, and has the potential to go back-to-back. Up against the highest scoring frontline in Europe tonight? Faultless.

@BayernPapa You will never understand if you're not Arsenal and not playing in the best yet hardest league in the world, week in week out.

When Bayern win tomorrow. The players will act the same as when they win any other game. These guys are celebrating getting into the final like they’ve won it.

@noknowli When we win it all, it will be for Holding, Elneny, Pablo Mari, Tierney, Nketiah, Willock, Smith-Rowe, Jorginho, Tomiyasu, Lokonga, Sterling and all those who paved the way or believed the process.

a tribute to those who fell along the way

@premierleague @Arsenal Lets win it for them Arsenal!

The passion of these young @Arsenal fans ❤️

@premierleague @IpswichTown What's the point when you get relegated again just like Burnley? 😮‍💨

Back in the Premier League 👏 Congratulations, @IpswichTown! 🔵

I have watched it all season and Gabriel is the weakest link in @Arsenal 's defense. Easily handled by a bigger striker. Mostly out of position. See it in Haaland's duel for that goal.

@RisingStarXI the amount of space Liverpool is giving PSG shows the decline of their quality as a team. Gegenpressing is a thing of the past.

🇫🇷🤯 𝗜𝗡𝗦𝗔𝗡𝗘! For 𝟲 𝗠𝗜𝗡𝗨𝗧𝗘𝗦 last night (from the 59th minute to 65th minute) in the PSG vs Liverpool, PSG chained 𝟴𝟵 𝗣𝗔𝗦𝗦𝗘𝗦 without Liverpool touching the ball… After those 89 passes, Kvaratskhelia scored.

@FootballEra_ Looking forward to Gyokeres-Havertz Eze-Merino-Rice-Saka Calafiori-Gabriel-Saliba-Timber

In Arsenal’s current tactical iteration, Shadow striker behind Gyokeres is Havertz’s best role. It’s not a coincidence that 5 of his 7 goal contributions this season have come when he plays alongside Gyokeres. A last line, focal point CF who pins CBs and a SS who ghost into vacated spaces from deep has a natural chemistry, it’s not rocket science.

@JasperZiggle It's easy to say give your players freedom when you get all the top top players.

🚨🇳🇱After the match against Real Madrid, the great Steven Gerrard asked Vincent Kompany about the strategy Bayern Munich followed in the game. Kompany didn’t overcomplicate things or dive into tactical jargon. He kept it simple — his players have freedom: “This team has earned the right and the freedom to play like this. They play so well that I’m not going to change the approach depending on the opponent. We played the same way against Paris Saint-Germain and today against Madrid. And they performed just as well. The substitutions I make are only to refresh the team. I remember when I was a player and we had these kinds of matches — what you wanted was the freedom to be yourself. Then the talent takes care of the rest. Everything else is marginal, and I try to make those marginal details fall in our favor.” Total freedom for the technically gifted players.

@AfcMbaka @AzengaMoses Thought of the same too. And all those kits are on point to me.

What does it remind you of?

@FootballEra_ Odegaard dropped deep causing Zubi with no choice but to go up. Rice Zubi Eze still for me.

Odegaard comes into the lineup and Arsenal’s buildup and ball progression issues got solved. But the reception BTL issues without Eze remains a major concern — “You won but at what cost.” The solution is, Arsenal have to drop Zubimendi for Eze, the former is neither good enough to handle the buildup nor excellent at receiving BTL, he’s currently playing a ghost role in that midfield. Way forward is Eze - Rice - Odegaard midfield trio.

@FathalliMo bottomline is oppositions are giving these teams too much space knowing how lethal their players are 1v1

Lamine Yamal with another example of winning the “duel before the duel.” He reads Burn expecting the run in behind (no pressure on the ball), so he fakes it with a sidestep to create more separation. Ball manipulation after is another topic.

@BBCMOTD You stay there and wait out your contract bro

Enzo Fernandez says he "doesn't know" if he'll be at Chelsea next season after their Champions League exit 😬
