Struggling at home to a newly promoted side? I know it’s the first game of the season but damn...

I put in a couple future bets this morning. One of them was Granada to finish top 4 at 33-to-1. Great start to the campaign with a 2-0 win over Bilbao.

The other one was Palace to get relegated which is not off to a great start.

Arsenal fans have a weird relationship with midfielders.

They never understood Ozil, Xhaka (who is a starter no matter who we buy imo), Elneny, Ramsey.

Same people love Wilshere.

Xhaka problem was someone had to tell him release the ball sooner, which I think Arteta has done. You watch him for Switzerland and he looks a very good player. Obviously he has more time at that level, but you can see why Wenger signed him. With him being a lefty, Arsenal fans wanting him to be Petit, Stephen Hughes ,Schwartz and Paul Davis.

Fair result was 3-3 but Liverpool got away with one :whew:

Defense was shyt.
Van Dijk was suspect again.
I don't know if it'll make a difference but they gotta try Matip next to VVD again. Change it up.
Once Keita comes off the chances for the front 3 are minimal at best.
Firmino gotta get greedy in front of goal, way too passive.

Next game Chelsea away, we'll see how that goes.
