Looking very promising. Much better attack makes life a lot easier for the defenders. We need to go all out to get Godin. 2-4 years with the best defender in the world could make Lindelof into a great player. Godin, Godin, Godin

Whether he does it because he's being selfish/preserving energy or because he's that intelligent I love that he knows what his strengths are now and doesn't try to drop in & get involved in play when he's not involved for a while. Too many number 9s think they need to get involved when they best...

Haha Of course there are lesser examples of racism than that & you know that. The polarisation of racist/not racist just leads to arguments & division though based on personal definitions & semantics when most people agree that someone can show racial bias without being a genocidal racist. Just...

Definitely, just seems that "racist" seems like such an extreme & strong term to throw about that it has now become self-defeating. People seem to get disparaged when seemingly everything is labelled racist. You get arguments between the so-called SJWs & Anti-PC crowds when both really know that...

Completely agree & making a shit joke about someone's appearance doesn't make you a racist in my book. It becomes a matter of your personal definition of "racism" though & each is entitled to their view of that. "Casual racism" is maybe a better term for it but still seems harsh to include the...

Seems like everything is forced through him when they attack. They have some other great attackers, playing to their strengths would take some of the attention away from him so he can be more effective. I really like Sampaoli but he hasn't got them set up well. Messi was still the best player...

N'Zonzi Inigo Martinez Kamil Glik Rafael back from Lyon

Exactly why I would love us to sign him. 4-2-3-1 with two of him, Matic or pogba would be our best midfield in a long time and definitely the best in the prem. That would be us sorted for the next 2-3 years at least.

That is his main position yes, I only made the b2b distinction so people don't include players like de bruyne or iniesta when comparing him to midfielders. Definitely not as penetrative as players like that but he's no slouch when attacking either. Keeps it simple but does it quickly. Don't...

Considering how much McTominay played earlier this season I think we could still do with him despite having Matic too. A midfield three of him, Matic and Pogba would be a Mourinho dream surely? He played a bit more advanced yesterday, not the silkiest of players obviously but he doesn't give the...

Can't understand it for the life of me. It's not like there's an abundance of dominating midfielders around at the moment. Without doubt would be the best box-to-box cm in the prem. Laughable that Wenger watched him destroy them in pre season yet didn't try to get him

Incredible again yesterday and topped it off with a banger. Tired team & down to ten men, yet he still dominated. Been in Seville to see his last two games against Barca & Villarreal and he has been the best player on the park by a long way in both games (outside of Messi's 20 minute cameo)...

Amazed that people still debate this. Ronaldo is one of the greatest ever players but it's not even close now.

The fact that Wenger watched him annihilate them in pre season and score a screamer but didn't desperately try to sign him is mind boggling. As if their midfield didn't need him

Definitely. He makes a hell of a lot of tackles & interceptions but he rarely gives the ball away without playing only safe passes. He dominated in midfield last year under Sampaoli when he basically played midfield on his own. Back four, N'Zonzi & 5 attakcers yet he still came out on top most...
