I'm so happy with the fact we signed Trossard. He's a magnificent baller and the perfect addition to our squad. Him versus Martinelli will be a beautiful thing to watch all season as they battle for starts.
ESR looks good. Trossard looks good. Our defence needs some chemistry though.
ESR has looked really really good. It's like this new role was made for him.
Head up Saka, there will be more chances
Can't watch but you lot pop off and have fun
"That's a great challenge." Commentator must be smoking that California crack.
He literally just took out Havertz's legs from behind.
Of course a Holding mistake cost us a goal in a game where he's supposed to be putting himself in the shop window 😂
Head up Rob, you're just not warm yet.
Nice game. Really nice performance. I'm really happy with everything. At least I can watch random YouTube recommendations again 🥹
$5 billion dollar stadium, $20 pitch. The grass looks terribly put together and rushed.
Vieira
I didn't even notice Eddie coming on 😭
This ref sucks ass
holy fuck! what a goal
Man, these Barca fans seem more excited about anyone being able to win a duel vs Saka than anything else
They're sarcastically cheering tackles because the ref is shit
Hm, maybe. Always hard to tell with that lot
H A V E R T Z A V E R T ZSaka sat Alonso down.
Stop the count meme here
Dang. Saka sent him the wrong way too
Holy shit the pitch looks patched together lmao. Hopefully no one gets injured.
Saka's work rate this match! Also Havertz goal again!
All in all, not a bad match. We clearly have some issues to work through still, and Ramsdale making another poor decision, but too many positives to worry that much.
We're still a significant distance away from our best. There are a lot of kinks to iron out before the Community Shield. The new players need to click before then. Last season was rare because Jesus and Zinchenko gelled with the team quite quickly.
So fucking unlucky...
Ramsdale should do better there
Americans really just throw on whatever shirt they have when going to a match. Haha. Bayern shirt mixed in the crowd.
1 degree of separation. This is the closest that person might get to watching Bayern live lol.
Barca and favorable refereeing a tale as old as the club itself
Saka looked hungry to right that first goal.
ESR minutes, LFG!
Gotta go to bed, but at least it's been eventful. Inshallah I look tomorrow morning and we've finished 69-2
LEONARDO D'TROSSIO cosplaying as Martinelli
Jorginho, Kiwior and Tierney on.
Tierney vs Dembele, I NEED THAT. WE NEED THAT!
lmao ref ended the game a minute early
All eyes on Vieira 👀
I wonder if he might be a surprise exit late in the window if we get all the targets we want. He seems like such a passenger most games. Especially as the backup to Odegaard which is vital.
Doubt it, Arteta seems insistent that he can make Vieira a thing. I imagine come the end of the season, Edu will force a conclusion.
Yeah but he seems to bring so little intensity.
Presently I feel that he's not a bad player, just a bad fit for us.
What a fucking beauty that would have been from Saka....
Did... the ref just jab ESR in the back? Not hard, but confusing.
It was confusing. I think he was trying to get to Partey.
WHAT A GOAL
Vieiraaaaaaaaaa
fuck, missed most of the game... we look pretty decent from what im seeing
Yeah. This is the kinda performance we've all wanted to see.
Making Barcelona act out in petulance is a nice achievement to unlock.
VIEIRA OHHHHHH VIEIRA OHHHHHHHHH
What a fucking banger
I guess we have our Xhakaboom replacement
I need that against tough opposition in the middle of the PL season. I'm one of his biggest doubters but, slowly starting to believe.
That's coming from one of his biggest haters. I need more of that.
Rob Holding, nothing new
I like what I'm seeing from Havertz
I take it back. He's disappeared.
Ok, nice poachers goal lol
Serves you right you fuck
What are we talking about here? Lol. The challenge on Havertz?
That's what I was referring to, yeah. I was merely annoyed until the commentator chimed in with "I didn't think that merited a card or a foul"
Now that's how you respond. Well done Saka!
Ooo Cozier-Duberry
Sure not a foul…
What absolute scrubs
Ramsdale was pissed on that one. More just an unlucky deflection.
Timber playing left back is such an odd decision. Especially as he was shite against United. I hope Tierney gets some minutes.
Fully agree, Tierney showed great direct play against Utd.
I want to see Tierney's pace against Dembele.
Tough start, COME ON!
Second half starting,
We're pretty fluid playing in those tight areas.
