    We’re in a unique situation with our keepers so the magnifying glass is on them but every single keeper in the world makes mistakes when playing out the back, frequently. Some mistakes go punished some don’t. Alison who’s hailed as one of the best keepers in the world, makes mistakes. Vicario, who people are rating extremely highly, made a couple mistakes just last night, one with which Willian should probably have punished.

      Is it just me or is no one really mentioning Brighton who are rotating keepers atm. Feels like that tactic is going way under the radar

        Apparently it’s easier and more fun to call out Arteta for lying about wanting to do it than to talk about someone actually doing it.

        When you play for either Arsenal or Man United you get put under a magnifying glass. Everything you do is overanalysed.

        Like Brighton got thrashed 6-1 by Aston Villa and in their next match against Man City pundits/journalist were talking about how De Zerbi could be the next Man City manager etc. Brighton have had some shocking performances this season, but it gets swept under the rug.
