Essential The Official Football (Soccer) Thread - We are SO back, the Premier League returns!

[Roberto Firmino]

arsenal don't want this to develop into a battle of attrition. they need to take the heat out of the game.

pool need to bring naby on at half-time to guarantee that win.

Got me out here negging nikkas on Easter Sunday

Nigeria with Eze and Olise in the midfield would look scary. Both should accept the call up.

Olise ain’t coming. I think he goes France or UK. Tbh, he’d be nice but we got wingers that are far more hard body. Olise would get mugged off the ball in AFCON or CAF WCQ

It’s Eze that we need. We really need a creative midfielder ASAP. And to be honest, I think there’s a chance we can get him (seems out of favour with UK this Euro qualifying cycle)

EDIT: Eze gonna be 25 this summer. If he doesn’t get call up to England by this winter, likely not gonna happen.

Did Henderson get a yellow card at the end of the half?

edit: I see it was Robo

 

[UnQuantized]

Arsenal really back

 

[MVike28]

Xhaka winding them up was dumb

 

[naijaboi]

Xhaka being an idiot is nothing new. Need a quick goal to take back the momentum

 

[UnQuantized]

Need to put Zinchenko in Xhaka's position and Tierney at Left Back

 

[OneManGang]

Has Trossard ever played as an 8?

Not the worst idea but we want that midfield advantage. I’d keep him at LB and if we had a good 8 replacement that’s where he’d come in for Xhaka

Data zone on Peacock looks like it might be a fun feature

You think he’ll get a France call up soon?

He played with France u-21 for the Toulon Tournament. But I don’t see him cracking FFF first team anytime soon. Dembouz, Coman and Muani got the RW on lock.

Yeah. He likely is. Word is he also qualifies for Algeria who would be is 2nd choice.

Nah, not gonna do Algeria. I think he may be one of those players that doesn’t get a senior cap until much later. France and England got their RWs locked down

France's eligibility depth chart is crazy

 

[J Money]

One of them fools gonna get themselves a red card

Knowing Xhakas track record good chance it's him. So take him off at the half

 

[Low End Derrick]

Linesman elbowed Robertson?

This match is definitely not ending 11 v 11.
