Need a January signing like trossard that can boost the team and provide competition.

This season theme is “Battle of bottlers”, Liverpool & Arsenal.

Can liverpool bottle the league still?
Salah can’t win ballon dor anymore since out of ucl, maybe he will underperform now.

Salam 3-0

So last time we conceded 3 goals was in 2023.

Arteta is so stubborn.
It is a cup game, but he treated it like typical weekend league game.
We can’t score in 1st half, but he keeps playing the same way till end.
Odegaard obviously just a waste of space, but he keeps him so we can just try to keep the ball? No urgency at all trying to chase the game trailing 2 goals.

Seems like we were playing a different game than usual, very vertical, less reliance on Saka.
Probably because of gyokeres.
But definitely still getting used to it.

But the positive is when we were countered it is easier to defend, because we don’t play possesion around their half leaving last man behind.

Week 1: We can beat any team in the world

Man spoke too soon lol

Madueke is really good at dribbling/take-on.
But still lacking on end product because poor decision making/lacking in that G/A mindset.
Need to learn from Saka on how to make decision, Saka always dribble with purpose to get the ball behind the net.

After Saka came on, total domination and Pep changed to total haram football.

Ayo there is something about having a squad depth because our substitutions keep making the difference.
To be able to put fresh legs with player of the same quality as the starting lineup is a huge advantage.

Yeah Rice gave MOTM performance btw.
Our current best midfield lineup might be eze - rice - odegaard.
Rice got the upper hand to Zubimendi on the physicality especially.

Eze - Creative 10
Rice - Complete midfield
Odegaard - Pocket space master (provide linkup in tight space)

But actually rice - zubi double pivot as our base starting lineup is good too, probably as a safe approach and to assess the game condition, then we adjust accordingly to the game with our squad depth. Suddenly, this tactic becomes similar to rugby.

Slot exposed? How can a manager complains about set piece when it is part of the game?
Good manager looks for all ways possible to improve the team.
Slot is incompetent for a top side?

Dang, rice is unlocking his through ball into the box ✅ A trent regent.
