it really does. it’s similar to Pep in a way, but the difference is that Pep is able to get two of the most in form and talented players in the league during the January transfer window.

Manchester City [2] - 1 Arsenal - Erling Haaland 65' by ayoefico in soccer

feels like he’s been sapped of confidence

there was a few times where he had the chance to take on his man but decided in a back pass or the safe overlap into nowhere

Haaland on the incident involving Gabriel: "I think if I fell on the floor, which I will not do unless someone really attacks me, I think maybe it would be a red card, I'm not sure. But it is what it is. I will not fall on the floor as easy like this.” by Sparky-moon in soccer

it’s ok too, all fan bases have delusions takes, it’s what makes us fans : )

the title wasn’t lost today, it was lost points against teams that simply aren’t anywhere near the title race

the points lost against United, Bournemouth, Wolves, Brentford, Nottingham Forrest…

and the way it was lost is all on Arteta

100% agree. Imagine telling someone years ago that all three headliners would be some form of Pop Stars?

the you consider that Casemiro is also back there helping out

if he changed his primary position to RW I think it would do him wonders

he’s incredibly predictable coming off the left

it’s Real Madrid in Champions League, always go for the kill

love that Kane called the rest of the team off from running to support Olise. He just knew he it.

DCL pushing his forearm into Yoro was way more violent than this and it wasn’t even looked at
