Strike

I have switched off the title race talk. I think Kante, Fofana and Reece out for the next month - we will do well to stay within touching distance. Kepa saved the team yesterday

I know ten weeks in and all but things are too perfect for Arsenal right now

Oh come on. Bamford missed a pen vs Arsenal

Saved the team today along with Kepa Will need this with Reece out

RLC at wing back now

Lucky that Chilwell didn't get sent off there

Cucurella has had a horror half an hour.

Shambles since the goal.

It's Sterling at wingback.

Fofana, Kante and Reece. Three of our most agile players missing this stretch is a blow. Not getting my hopes up now and managing my expectations for the next month till the break. Glad there's no City/Liverpool game in this period.

Potter's next challenge is to find a solution for wingback that doesn't involve Azpi

+ they still have to beat Bayern

Just here to laugh at Barca.... Took all our transfer targets to the Europa League

In the top 4 and still have Arsenal in sight. I think its way too early to be talking about Arsenal sustaining this run.

Double post

Theo Hernandez coming back changes things. It creates that triangle on the left with Leao and Tonali and Milan like to attack by overloading that side.

Arsenal were better for most of that half.

They tried in both 2008 and 2011. Why the 08 move broke down is unclear from Modric's book but yeah, the 2011 one was down to Levy

To be fair, we now know Roman did a lot to try and get Modric through the door.

Any read on Vivell? Seems like has been hired since he is young, has experience with a multi-club structure and could go along with new owners' moneyball methods.

Azpilicueta looks much better than he has been lately

Diego Costa starting against a 2nd choice backline

Great performance last night. I'm so glad, he's signed a new deal. He is the player to build around. Superb strengths, no obvious weaknesses and is developing a rapport with Sterling on the right.
