Both our goals were class, but the second goal was a football fan goal and the first was for gunners. Saka seemed to be instructed by Arteta to take on a double marking, and to use Jesus and/or Odegaard for tight interplay.

Ideal result, but that whistle blow was shocking by Hooper. Haaland is fouled, he puts his whistle to his mouth, sees that Haaland gets up, takes whistle down, Haaland passes to Grealish through on goal, then whistles…

What an awful kit. Not only ugly, but bad for visibility as a spectator.

Oh no…

Let’s go!!!

Tomi has been excellent recently, think he is both our first choice left back and right back on current form, although I prefer him on the left behind Martinelli. He has an eye for a through ball when Martinelli makes his runs.

The dribbles past stat is a misleading. Last week Trent got dribbled past “7” times, but only 2 to 3 of those actually gained an advantage.

Do we have the best fullback depth in the league? Zinchenko, Tomi, White and Timber (granted Timber is injured, but he looked exceptional before the injury). They are all on the same level, albeit different profiles, and both Tomi and Timber can play either side.

🙈

Raya let’s in 0.88 Goals per xG. That’s 4th in the league. Alisson is first at 0.82. Vicario is 5th at 0.89 and Onana is tied for second at 0.87. See the full list here by u/ThereWillBeGoals.

Sweet, sweet Champions League, once more you will give us high lines and fluid football… Praise thee!

Odegaard has stuggled without Partey picking up his movement for a line-breaking pass. Speed of build up is likely our biggest attacking issue.

Now I am thoroughly enjoying my Sunday.

Yeah, that was a part of the the cause of his injuries.

I was just thinking that the current team is probably better than that XI already.

Have looked at highlights from several midfielders recently trying to see if anyone sparks my interest, and all have obvious shortcomings. However, Fofana looks very solid. Although, not sure him alongside Rice have the creativity we have been missing, but I reckon a useful addition to the squad.

I hate to say this, but the most promising 6 I’ve seen recently is Mainoo. Wonder if he breaks into United’s team soon given their woeful midfield.

Foden is the most technically talented young player in the world at the moment, but he can go missing in games.

I have been following this youtuber (squirrel plays) that uses python to make transfer decisions on FM2024. He usually looks at lower leagues, but he just did a video yesterday looking at the best players in the best fm tactic. I say all to this to note that Nketiah is relatively high up on the list for Advanced Forwards, and practically the perfect backup if you consider the price of others and value FM’s database.

I agree with all the points besides the offside. In that instance, Gordon needs to be behind the ball. If you look at standing legs and infer from there, he looks on, but besides my speculation, the call that it was not a clear and obvious error is right imo.
