Euros required players to be vaxed, but some teams that went out fast may not have completed both stabs. Not sure about the timing of France's exit?

Saul has had two unimpressive outings. Both times he could not handle the press. As harsh as you are criticizing RLC, that needs to be applied to all. Saul may come good, he may not. The only thing I have said is game time needs to be earned. So far RLC has been more composed and less of a liability.

It could be the case. I am still hopeful that Conor and Billy get there. RLC was looking the real deal before the achilles injury. CHO has also leveled off from his promising future.

Losing Kante is always concerning. I think we have the depth, I just hope he is not symptomatic.

RLC was able to handle the players pressing him in the 15 minutes he played and controlled the ball. Saul has not shown that yet. I am all for Saul returning to form, but if you are going to determine game minutes by how they are currently doing, RLC is ahead of Saul imo. RLC is still a young man who can make his game better.

Conor is playing a stronger game this year.

Conor is starting today for CP. They are also starting their new striker Edward and Benteke is on the bench.

Good night, how bad is his ankle?

The top CBs in the PL are around 200K pounds per week plus bonuses. Is Tony better than VVD? I think anything above 200K(ish) plus bonuses and we need to start looking for a replacement.

It is looking like James' ankle injury might keep him out.

I am not talking about replacing our three midfielders, but he has looked better than Saul in that 4th spot to give our midfielders a rest. He was not bullied off the ball and made good decisions. The speed of the Man City game did not cause him to panic. I like what I seen from him in a game that we looked bad.

I know Saul is a project, but after what RLC showed for 15 minutes....I would be investing in his return.

Tbf, that was a home game for them and they were hustling like madmen the first half. Beating them 3-0 was a pretty good result.

Kane gets an assist for Saka on that one?😂

They are very young and inexperience. They will look like gods one week and relegation fodder the next week. gods this week 3-0

Arsenal are on fire…. Spuds total shit 2-0

Beautiful assist

Pep is not our manager. He has his style of play, but it is not the only style of play. Our problem today was the way the formation was set up and the ultra conservative approach. It was easy to see the plan was to absorb City and knick a goal to win. That works until it doesn't. It didn’t work today. It has not been our game plan most of this year. Tuchel had it wrong, it happens.

It is hard to have it both ways. Lukaku didn’t get involved in the build up much because he and Werner were isolated from our midfield from most of the game. His role is to finish, which he does really well. We had our midfield and wingbacks so far back most of the game, we hardly ever got into attacking positions. I don't know how people are pointing fingers at Lukaku when we rarely got the ball into situations for him to effect the game. The problem was the 3-5-2 got pinned back almost the entire game. I love Giroud, I have no doubt if Giroud was in today, it would have looked exactly the same.

Thank you Bees

This has been a fun watch 3-3

Go Brentford!! 2-2

You’re not half as funny as you think!! 😛 Salah gets his 100th

Well that was short lived
