Arsenal in good form.

I hope for once these guys can turn up against a top side and nick points off them. Home game too, so no excuses.

and they will not play against wolves. so more time to rest their players

I would too but then Guardiola has been playing him on the RW as well.

Pep plays players in positions no other manager does

his brain is at a different level

and he is a gambler, a big one

Well, Tuchel does that a bit too but to not great effect. 

we simply are not even close to the attacking talent Citeh, Bayern, and Pool (albeit less depth than those other two) have

PSG should be there, but they have injuries and I am not convinced on Poch

no one else does

RM is a really a solid team BUT they have such little depth up front,

take away Vinicius and especially Benz (the single most important one player to a team on the planet), they are FUCKED

 

Manure looks super on paper, but in practice they have been a mess

Kinda disagree. On paper, we have the talent to rival those teams but on the pitch, for one reason or another, they aren't performing to a high level that they can or should be.

@Jase

Marcel Sabitzer    
Jamal Musiala   
Leroy Sané   
Serge Gnabry   
Kingsley Coman  
Thomas Müller   
Robert Lewandowski  
Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting (injured atm, before you laugh, he has 8 goals and 3 assists in only 248 minutes, granted 4 goals on 90 minutes against a shit Bremen team, but still has 4 other league (3) and CL (1) goals in only 150 minutes)

Ilkay Gündogan

disagree


Mason Mount   (not a huge scorer)
Kai Havertz   
Hakim Ziyech   (has moments, but he has NEVER come close to the Ajax days)
Christian Pulisic   (has overall been a bust IMHO)
Callum Hudson-Odoi   (has his moments but is hardly a consistent scorer at all)
Romelu Lukaku   
Timo Werner  

 

we have overrated players (atm) for the most part who never put up big EPL numbers other than Rom at times, and the big dig on him was he feasted on poor teams

Werner presents problems with his deep runs, but he is terrible shooter

Kai is arguably our best offensive player, but has yet to truly explode

 

RLC and Barkley are CMF's with poor, poor end product when they play advanced roles

That is why I said on paper, we rival those teams but on the pitch, we aren't because our players don't perform to a high level that they can or should be.
