good result for us

Still annoys me we kept smacking the bar during the 4-0 loss! What's done is done.. Hurrah. No real gap now.

Still early but Pepe looks overrated....

So does Pulisic. But I think that Pepe will have it easier to be a decent player than Pulisic. Pepe at least has more physicality

Pulisic has been average but despite his price tag he was brought for more a long term view so he does get some leeway because of that.

Pepe on the other hand was the crown jewel purchase by a club that's spent a massive amount on delieving immediately which means pressures on.

I am patient with Pulisic, I just hope he gets more playing time

that said we need to make a mover for Sancho, do not care the cost, and if we fail on him go for Chiesa and/or Mikel Oyarzabal or someone else

Best possible result for us. Our poor start to the season did not cost us as much as expected. We obviously would never have had a say in the title race anyway but top 4 is still doable with how poor the teams around us have been. Our offensive play looks much better than what we saw today and our form should go with young team and manager learning. 

Ole looks super one dimensional by now and Arsenal is just milking off Auba.

Pulisic has a whole season to show if he is worth it or not. I would be really happy for him if he delivers because I do no want to see Willian anymore.

Sancho would be the real deal, but I would be happy also if we ge Chiesa or Mikel. Sancho and CHO would be great. I think that with Lamps and our youth players, we might have a chance getting him. We should be more attractive than United. Only City would be a threat as far as PL teams are concerned. But City do have so many other players and Sancho would make a mistake going there.

Manure really misses Martial too

but yes, they are overall dreadful

take all these names

Sergio Romero    
Lee Grant     
Eric Bailly   
Phil Jones    
Marcos Rojo   
Axel Tuanzebe   
Luke Shaw    
Ashley Young    
Diogo Dalot    
Timothy Fosu-Mensah    
Nemanja Matic    
Fred   
Andreas Pereira    
Juan Mata    
Daniel James       
Jesse Lingard    
Mason Greenwood   

and tell me that was 3/4ers of the Everton or West Ham squads

and I would not bat an eye

IF Shitty sell Sane, they will more than likely use the right of first refusal to try and grab Sancho, IF both he and Pep swallow their pride

Manure will be like desperate dogs to grab him

so will PSG, and probably Real, Barca, maybe Bayern IF they do not make a mover for Sane, maybe even Juve

Victimpool might be in the mix too (dog help us if they grab him, he can play either wing, so any game with no Salah or no Mane, they replace with almost equal (and perhaps better in the long run) talent

I would guess that Sancho would probably want to play PL Football. City would still have Mahrez Sterling and Silva, so game Time would be a fight for him. At Chelsea, he would be a starter. He would also start at United but they are in a mess. Pool would also be hard for him and Salah and Mane are not that Injury prone

Bernardo will slide over to replace David Silva I think, and IF they sell Sane, they are deffo a winger light

Manure's worst 7 game league start in 30 years.

Mahrez is definitely expendable for City.

My only explanation here is that he is United fan and when he saw Auba is going to score he tried to save Utd with calling for offside before action is finished so VAR could not overturn decision. Thanks God Kevin Friend didn't blow the whistle before Auba scored.

There's just so many things wrong about the decision. He's not even guessing, but certain in his mind (going by the VAR directive of keeping your flag down otherwise).

Crazy to think Arsenal would have come away with nothing had Auba stopped.
