Arsenal aren't playing scared with City anymore.

Always used to play like they expected to be overwhelmed

Interesting that Rice is being deployed in the Xhaka role instead of playing in the 6. I guess it makes sense because there are less tactical instructions and Partey’s composure on the ball is more suited for the single pivot.

Havertz in the 9 has been pretty decent with his link up play but he needs to finish his dinner :francis:

Plenty Chelsea fans in here. Some Milan fans as well.

Bayern just isn’t the club for black/African players. Just look at the whole Mane incident. He’s been getting, imo, outsized criticism this season.

He played badly yes but was he THAT much worse than Bayern as a whole who barely hobbled over the BL title on the final day? I think not.




What’s the context to this video and what are they singing about?
who are the chelsea fans
