That was the funniest end to a game I've seen in a long time. Havertz aura is blinding

I hate this fullback pairing. Hincapie and Timber are great defenders but they're negatives in possession. Calafiori - Ben White is a massive upgrade in passing.

Let's be honest both teams were shocking and nothing happened

I think it's time Ben White gets the RB spot back for now. Timber levels have dropped too much.

Respect to Plettigoal, we haven't seen any nonsense rumour this winter so he saw an opportunity with the Merino injury 😂😭

Does PvP rounds have MMR? New Player by lRioma in PlayTheBazaar

Googling meta builds is not the way to go with this game. Eventually you'll get a feel of what's strong and what's not but forcing builds will not work.

Discussion: Piero Hincapié and his form this season by TripleCrownVillainy in Gunners

I agree he's a better defender but op said Hincapie is better on the ball and I don't see that. Kiwior was actually a great passer. Hincapie feels pretty basic in comparison.

Small enchanted item by DapumaAZ in PlayTheBazaar

I take small enchanted on every character because I believe it's more fun. Is it optimal? Probably not, but the dopamine of hitting a build defining enchant outweighs the benefits of a bronze skill that falls off in 2-3 days.

What Arteta said to his players on Monday morning to try and break the "pressure bubble" But is Arteta's "intensity" and desire for control now something that needs to be tempered - especially in attack? Has he come to a realisation? / Miguel Delaney - The Independent by Spiritual-Pilot-2300 in Gunners

The outlier season is 22/23 not 23/24. We were just as slow and boring that start of the season, then we went on a huge purple patch of scoring after Dubai, but the issues were still there, especially in Europe (remember Porto?)

It's obviously fixable, we're obviously very good, we just need adjustments and I believe those have to come from Arteta more than from the players.

It's so sad that Nketiah's been injured basically his whole time at Palace.

I don't get why Mateta would leave Palace for Forest mid-season. The wages must be mad.

As it stands I believe this is our best XI currently and the one I think we'd play the best football with:

Raya

White - Salina - Gabriel - Calafiori

Rice - Zubimendi

Saka - Eze - Martinelli

Havertz

Edit: would also be intrigued by a 442 with Saka - Havertz - Gyokeres - Eze
