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

I don’t know why he persists with Eddie. He’s an impact sub at best. He’s been forced to drop Havertz on the bench but he leaves Partey out of the XI and starts Jorginho? I’m trying hard to understand his logic.

Partey is coming back from injury. You know from his time at Arsenal and his injury issues you have to built his fitness back up gradually. Is it really worth maybe 30mins of Partey from the start where there is a possibility of him breakdown again? Due to the intensity and pace of the match where its going to be at its highest.

He really isn't breh

I’m used to seeing Nketiah.

Fair point.

The early kick off games were entertaining… that means the main event is about to be a dud.

 

[Roberto Firmino]

I’m upset

 

[Nero Christ]

Gravenberch shoulda put that 3rd in smh

 

[Jean toomer]

Competition notwithstanding, but Bayern Leverkausen are a problem. Confident and clinical. Give that man Xabi props.

 

[Roberto Firmino]

Gravenberch shoulda put that 3rd in smh

He should have but when we finally get that 3 of Curtis , Dom and Grav they not ready

Gravenberch shoulda put that 3rd in smh

Completely fukked us. Not happy with the dropped points here.

 

[ThrobbingHood]

Brighton should’ve been down to ten men after conceding that penalty.

He didn’t even get booked either. SMH

Harsh, gotta be scoring but we only have ourselves to blame shythoused a lead at the half but didn’t push on like we should have. Was always gonna have to be on the starting XI to put it out of reach with the lack of depth but that just wasn’t enough or the required intensity for the majority of the match

Shame to see Saka is missing. I do think it's crazy that he's played so many matches though. Feel like Arteta should rotate him a bit more. Read he's played something like 80 straight league matches. Which is ridiculous.

He really tried to say “top players like Messi played consistently.” Well Messi is an anomaly… and he was pumped up with growth hormones since he was a kid…. Just saying,
