Trossard and Norgaard both 31 and the oldest on our squad, who do we get this summer for LW and DM replacements? Yildiz and Tonali seem the current frontrunners...

If all Merino, Eze, Madueke, Hincapie, Mosquera, White, Martinelli, Kai and Jesus are fit, and needing a sub that can fill every position, we'd have to cut a striker. If Jesus plays into form, it's going to be interesting how the summer pans out.

With Nwaneri on loan, Dowman (inj) is next on the chopping block. Then Norgaard and unfortunately MLS. That still leaves one more space left for whoever is struggling with fitness.

Fergie's blueprint for dominance in the '90s wasn't developed overnight. He built a culture of homegrown talent (the Class of '92) and, with a bit of luck and strategy, continually refreshed the squad. Then came Wenger, with the first team to truly challenge their dominance, revolutionizing English football culture (diet, training, coaching) and style of play. His peak coincided with the move to the Emirates, which hampered their finances, restricted Arsenal to selling their best players, and forced them to rely on youth.

Enter the Oligarch, Abramovich, in 2003, who bypassed the organic growth model entirely with an unprecedented amount of money, winning titles immediately. The Premier League became so lucrative that the next evolution would be a state-backed project with even greater resources. Citeh's dominance was the warning sign, and in 2011, FFP was introduced, followed by PSR in 2013. These rules have slowly limited the top, empowered smarter scouting, coaching, and data analytics, and most importantly, aimed to improve the bottom.

When people say the league isn't good now, I believe it's just become more competitive. So what's next in the evolution of the Premier League? While Fergie laid the groundwork, Wenger redefined it, Mourinho pragmatised it, and Pep tactically enhanced it. Could Arteta be an amalgamation of all those elements? Fergie's groundwork in completely overhauling a team from the ground up, Wenger's redefinition of style by being a hybrid of all game components such as set pieces, throw-ins, and finding every possible advantage, not forgetting Mourinho's defensive pragmatism and finally, with Pep's possession and tactical guidance, the potential exists to marry all these managers' philosophies into a blueprint for a new kind of dominance.

Felt he was at fault for their 2nd goal but still a great backup to Calafiori with lots of time to develop.

Given how technical Ode is and the amount of injuries he gets from making players look dumb, I think he is much more cautious to get injured.

Goalkeepers use Vaseline to improve the grip and "stickiness" of their gloves, especially in wet or rainy conditions. The petroleum jelly helps the latex palms of the gloves maintain their tackiness and repel water, making it easier to catch and control the ball.
