Sevilla ffs.

Will never get over just how cool this tech is.

Ramos with the botched knee slide lmao! But get in Sevilla!

United scored so I switched over to the match that matters most to us 🤷

That’s jokes because just LAST SEASON they were singing Casemiro’s praises week in week out and wanted him in the TOTS.

Seville host PSV at 5:30PM. We should have much clearer permutations on qualifying before our match kicks off.

If PSV loses, then we automatically qualify regardless of what happens in our game. However we would need to get at least a draw to outright win the group tonight. And any other permutation we just need to win our match to put the group to bed.

I for one am glad Newcastle fans got to feel the pain of injustice.

People act like he has been horrible - he has been OK.

Look at how much we paid for him, though. And the reported wages he’s on. He needs to be a lot better than ‘ok’. IMO it’s the Pepe situation again. He was a fine player, but we broke the bank for him so really he needed to be giving us a lot more than just “fine”.

Havertz base salary is in the region of 275k per week, almost same as at Chelsea.

This is where my pessimism starts. We’re not Chelsea, United or City; our wage structure will determine how flexible we are in the near future in terms of squad building. If Havertz is demanding almost 300k while being in the “unsung hero” category, it will cause issues when extending players who are a lot more impactful more consistently.

We’re going to be spared an Ange manager of the month for November, but it will be at the cost of ETH winning it ffs. Those jammy wins against Fulham and Luton helping their record.

Just realised we ain’t gotta see the PL try to give Ange another Manager of the month award.

For balance of creativity and lethal finishing I’d go with Henry, Sanchez, Odegaard.

Already mentally preparing myself for “Breaking! Gabriel Jesus has be substituted in the first half against Argentina. After being involved in a firm challenge the Arsenal striker could not continue.”

VAR ruins an Arsenal players goal and it’s because of a Spurs player 🫠

Add Arsenal boys to the team and it’s game on 🤌

This Palmer kid is good.

I don’t think any top team will hire him until he actually proves it at club level. Even most midtable clubs would be hesitant. I think a club like Fulham or Palace could be interested if they’re going through a transition in coaching already.

I wonder if Arteta had plans for Timbre playing MF. Also I imagine Partey’s legs being made of string cheese has threw a spanner in the works for our midfield depth this season.

I also seem to remember Xhaka being generally a lot more involved in the final 3rd. Havertz will go through large spells in matches drifting in pockets away from the area of action. But maybe that’s more of an issue with our attacking play lacking fluidity this season, as opposed to a Kai issue. Could also be a strict instruction from Mikel and how he tries to utilise his talents vs how he wanted to use Xhaka.

Just my weekly reminder of why I miss Granit so much…
