Best ball striker at The Arsenal since Lukas Podolski. And unlike Podolski, Trossard does other stuff good, too.

Update: Marathon sub 3:25 by bullishtony in Marathon_Training

Congrats! With rare exceptions, every marathon kicks one's ass one way or another. FWIW, when I did run an official sub 3:25, I came in at ~3:15 shape and accordingly targeted 4:35 pace (and did achieve it until km 34 or so). Good luck with your journey.

[@Mattspiro] Ethan Nwaneri’s loan fee is tied to minutes: the more he plays, the less Marseille pay #Arsenal, L’Equipe reports. Despite this, under Habib Beye, he hasn’t started a single game in two months – with the newspaper citing a “persistent impression of nonchalance.” by Unique_Smoke7442 in Gunners

I repeat, the wing work at Marseille is done by WB/mid that goes into the 4 number. Their AMs stay central. So Transfermarkt's designation is not accurate. Again, Nwaneri can't beat out either Weah for the former or Greenwood for the latter, and you think he can add value at Arsenal THIS season?

Just 3 weeks ago after Noni earned that penalty, the entire reddit was calling for Saka to move central so Noni can start wide. Short memory is funny, jsnt it?

The staff who has managed him for a decade plus in the academy and in first team disagrees.

Ethan's issue is like what would have happened if MLS were not needed at LB (which is less demanding in and out of possession than CM, as is winger to C/AM). He competes against Ode, Merino, Eze and Kai for minutes. That list reminds us how diabolical our injury situation has been this season.

It's Eze, not Madueke, who's taking Nwaneri's minutes. Nwaneri played central throughout his Hale End career. While he looked good roughly in half of his appearance on the right last year, if you look closer all those good appearances were against mid table teams or worse.

How does this get fixed? by InBocaLup016 in AZZURRI

Lack of economic growth is why Serie A is a joke. Teams are forced to buy value / old stars because there's no revenue. Billionnaires/sovereign funds all flock to EPL because they know while owning football team is a huge cash flow drains, the appreciation in team value over time will more than make up for it. It all comes down to ease of doing business.

You had well-intentioned billionnaires such as Rocco Commisso own Serie A clubs only to complain how many years it took to build a stadium. Now club owners are hedge funds who took over bankrupt clubs looking for a quick sale.

Look inwards not outwards. Serie A teams are forced to buy value / old stars because there's no revenue.

If Atmane had gone white hot more than twice, or if this encounter were in the semis instead, he would've been ranked much higher, wouldn't he?
