For whatever tactical nuances there are, just makes me VERY happy that these 'physical' teams become the cry baby, whiney ones when Mikel's Arsenal roll into town. Tried to influence the ref and threw themselves about. Unlucky you pricks

Farewell Gabi. Obrigada. www.nytimes.com/athletic/753...
Gabriel Martinelli being set to leave Arsenal brings sadness, regret and puzzlement (Gift Article)
Little Gabi, as he was known, played with such a big heart and departs knowing that he gave his all during his seven years at the Emirates

That goal will paper over it for another couple of weeks. He's too good to drop, so just get him into your front line and play some actual midfielders.
At some point the penny will drop for United that 'the best player in the league' is symptomatic to about 50% of their problems as a team. The longer they fail to see it, the more and more they'll waste 'fixing' other issues

Chelsea look very good going forward. So good that most teams will eventually realise, probably by November onwards, that they need to start low-blocking them and then play for scraps. That's when Alonso will earn his money.
*That* opening day at Selhurst Park four years ago was like when you finally unblock your nose after a 10-year cold. Thanks for the jump leads Gab. I will pray for your knees.
🚨🔵🔴 BREAKING: Barcelona agree deal to sign Gabriel Jesus from Arsenal, here we go! Exclusive details: medical booked on Monday, #AFC to receive €10m package plus add-ons for permament deal. Gabriel Jesus will travel for medical as authorized by Arsenal.
Ndiayeeeeeeee will always..... think you were pretty good but now that you have decided to join Spurs you are dead to me
the number of liverpool fans i saw just shrug off losing trent
Trent Alexander-Arnold to Jeremie Frimpong might be the biggest technical downgrade in the history of the sport.
Watching Liverpool's midfield lose almost every 50-50 duel makes you appreciate the bastards Mikel has assembled in ours
TNT Sport have some lovely presenters on their early kick off show but I do wish they would stop shouting at me for 30 mins on a Saturday morning
Me shouting shoot when Kyra picks the ball up near the corner flag
I'm about to Mangata Develop a headache if this bloody camera doesn't settle down
Anyway this place suddenly got really dusty now that Kyra is back in our lives
Gabriel Martinelli exit feels a lot like the Emile Smith Rowe farewell. The moral of the story is Bukayo shouldn't start a wholesome bromance with anyone else because he'll only outlive them as well 😭
Daniel Sturridge seems like good vibes but he doesn't half talk some shite as a Sky pundit
Might regret giving De Zerbi ALL of your money to piss up the wall lads
Carlsberg weekend of football so far. Loooong may it continue 🍻🍻🍻🍻
Thought Man Utd had the best player in the league? Is he not in the team today or does he only really show up when there's nothing riding on the match anymore apart from some solo awards?
My creative talismanic skipper wouldn't let his team get mauled by a bunch of tigers like this on his watch, I'll tell you that for free. Best player in the league though, right?
Mbeumo is the reincarnation of Lacazette in his Lacathreat era
Maybe investing money into good defenders is not a bad idea after all eh?
