Goalkeeper can be just as tough. If you're conceding goals everyone looks at you like, "Why didn't you save that?" even though it might not always be your fault

I feel as a GK, if the team is fukking up, but you’re still doing your job decently, no one really gives you a hard time

There was a season United was fukking up, and De Gea was still regarded as one of the best shot stoppers in the world. I think it was the season they beat Spurs 1-0 and De Gea had an absurd number of saves

Arsenal was up 2-0 at Anfield then everything changed.

Xhaka has been non-existent while Trent on a different level since their exchange.

Mad how something like that can change things. Arsenal would have walked that game too until he stirred the Anfield pot. What a dikkhead

Balogun is a huge grab

 

[phillycavsfan]

We need to get Balogun matches with the boys before Copa America next summer. That's the only time the USMNT will get real matches before the WC in 2026.

Also crucial to see where Balogun lands this summer, because he's not supplanting Jesus or Nketiah at Arsenal and he's definitely not returning to Reims.

Where you think he should go? Maybe a French team that’s qualified for Europe? Or another country altogether?

I'd favor a top team in France or Germany or an English mid-table side like Fulham or
Brighton.
