Roma - Draw
Fiorentina - Draw

It's these games that Inter needs to win if they want to dethrone Juve. 4 points dropped against competitive opponents.

Damn Valenica....couldn't hold on

 

[mastermind]

Nah. He's a business man who specializes in sports ownership. He'll never offload an asset as large as Arsenal. Kroenke knows how to play the sports game. He doesn't need to win. It's a PR game. You can't have a team captain and then your highest paid player not giving a fukk openly when getting subbed off. Getting rid of Ozil, Xhaka, and hiring Viera from Nice would gain enough goodwill to last until 2024.

Arsenal’s value would be halved if relegated

It’s different from American sports

My streams gave out towards the end, Inter draw, and Valencia couldn't hold on, smh

I'm still not convinced that Lautaro and Lukako can play together up top, but we'll see...

There was a moment in the 80th minute where Lukaku was on the break with all manner of space and just one defender to beat... what does he do? Runs right INTO the defender. This was the reaction of Lautaro and another Inter player warming up on the sideline:

Outside of the National team where he's surrounded by creative talent my man is straight comedic relief.

looks like Memphis tore his ACL

Come on. Be realistic. Are they really gonna get relegated? No. They're not.

They're 9th with 22 points. Watford and Norwich ain't catching them. Southampton is ass water. They can get blown out by the top 6 and get draws against everyone else then still be comfortably above the relagation zone. It's not possible even on purpose. They're too much talent on the squad.

if they don't win another game and just get draws against teams "not top 6", they are getting relegated. They only have 5 wins, that would put them in the low 30s on points, which is damn near always relegation status.

Naw, Lukaku is the best striker in the world

I said arsenal needs to change at the top before you see changes on the pitch.

Arsenal are only 7 ahead of relegation. There is a good chance we are near the relegation zone around New Years based on form and the schedule of matches.

Arsenal over the last 24 premier league matches have 29 points. That’s relegation form.

For real? Both of y'all know better.

The teams in the relegation zone are Watford, Norwich, and Southampton. They are horrible. The next teams above them are Everton, West Ham, and Aston Villa who are all playing worse than Arsenal. Losing 3-0 to Man City isn't an indicator of relegation. That happens to teams against Man City.

You can say I'm wrong math wise, and I'll concede that point because they will need wins, but they can beat Brighton and Burnley and CP (Maybe not Sheffield United) and Aston Villa.

everton is not playing worse than arsenal at the moment

And I wouldn't even say arsenal is playing better than villa, villa has had a tougher schedule recently

liverpool/newcastle/wolves/man united, chelsea, leicester, sheffield united all those teams are top 8 in the table cept newcastle
