So my thoughts on Odegaard’s absence are these: Havertz picks up his pressing/attacking duties and Jorginho picks up his outlet/facilitation duties. I wonder whether we can use Jesus and Havertz as our front two tomorrow; the former has a great record in Europe and will press like a monster. Plus, I desperately want to see Jesus hit anything close to his peak form, jinking and juking through the final third, and that seems to put him in a good position to do so.
Good call
DAVID RAYA WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK
I’m looking forward to Arteta’s memoirs in 20 years where he explains that he really just wanted to take League One tactics to the very top
nah nah this is Moyesball reincarnated, we’re gonna see that when Steve Round got fired his replacement was David Moyes in secret
GIVE HIM THE YASHIN RIGHT NOW
Inaugural Match Thread Bot match thread!
yay!
Gabi, Gabi, Gabi… I really hope he gets his mojo back soon
What a save! Raya read that so well. Then the double save
He’s on a fucking blinder lately when it comes to saving close range headers
Alright well if that doesn’t gee up the boys I don’t know what will. Don’t waste this opportunity, lads.
here we goooooo
That was such a good strike. Would have been an unfortunately amazing goal
BTW, do y’all think we should do a post-match thread anyway or should we just use this?
I like having a post-match thread personally, especially when the match thread is full to bursting.
Atlanta is pressing well.
Early subs too, which is really out of character, lol
Sterling’s gonna score us a goal today, mark my words
ngl I’m starting to get more and more annoyed that we sent Vieira out on loan as this keeps going.
You’d probably be more annoyed if he was playing. I never felt he shone without a lot of space to play in
I do think there is also a bit of a problem with how we can’t quite break these blocks down, but then I don’t think any team can reliably do so.
Definitely feels short-sighted in hingsight
That was, uhhh, something. Lol
