Essential The Official Football (Soccer) Thread - RIP Diogo Jota

[Ukbrotha]

Few more wins and even Arsenal can find themselves in a title race.

I'll say this. Previously, even at 2-0 I'd be worried about so much with Arsenal.

Will Auba/Laca stop getting service?
Will Xhaka do Xhaka things and get 88 cards all at once?
Just how lethargic will Willian be?
How will the back line get caught out and give up a cheap goal.

You look at this team at the end of this match an they are stroking the ball around, playing back heels and nutmegs...one touch football...Partey, Saka, Tierney and ESR have made a big change to this team...more confident.

Now do this against Citeh and Liverpool and I'll be TRUELY impressed.

I'll take Spurs, Leicester, Wolves.

Arsenal should be thinking of Europa or CL. Only 1 away against the big 6 remaining.

I'll take Spurs, Leicester, Wolves.

Same difference this season.

Shoutout to Bernd Leno. His kicking is better and he hasn't unsettled the backline.



Real Madrid retooling.

Alaba, Camavinga, Mbappe.

Saka is

And he plays every damn game as well

I’m trying hard not to be a hyperbolic arsenal fan ESR’s game reminds me of Nasri quite a bit.

meh...look at the difference that he is made in 5 games
he is the one new, constant thing in the last 5 games. it isnt hyperpoblic. we got one with him

I hope he can continue with the good form. He’s gonna have dips in form since he’s young but he’s really looking like a good player.

About 8 of the 10 next fixtures are difficult ones. They gotta rest him for the fa cup or something cause something gotta give

we got city, leicester, utd, benfica, villa, tottenham all coming up among others

Wait, Emile Smith-Rowe is black?

EDIT: Nvm, false alarm.

Why no ones gone to Bilbao and splashed 50 milly on Inaki is insanity to me.

Still not good in general play, he's becoming a ball stopping player. Every time the ball goes to him, he just kills whatever it is we doing.

First goal is pretty much Auba right there, him running on to a well played pass. Everything else, heh. Hopefully we get more off this

Whats everyone's thoughts on Almiron.

Every time I see any glimpses on Newcastle, he admittedly stands out. Yes his finishing needs improvement.

This dude can carry that ball from goal to goal with ease. Can dribble through, around and pass defenders, never hides. And you cannot get the ball off, ball is glued to his boots.

I really wanna see him around better teammates.
