I want Bellingham. But the entire Premier League will be after him next summer.

Seems like he wants Madrid though.

Really? That's a shame, but least he wouldn't be joining a direct rival then.

I must be a gazillion years away from reality. I did not notice Werner was back at Leipzig

I doubt we'd spend 100m's on one player anyway.

Yeah, it's probably a pipe dream. Especially with Xhaka having his renaissance this year. We'll probably have to settle for a depth player.

We just need Partey to stay healthy for once.

Poor @BigToe - All these teams like Juve, Atletico and Barca coming to the Europa gonna have Arsenal thinking they're in the Champions League.

Don't even care about winning it. I just want them to make a good amount of money off of it and get Champions League next year.

Probably the right way to approach it. Milk it for what it is.

@Striiker I found one you would like

Brighton is fun to watch even without Potter.

Trossard and Mitoma are very high on my list of players I want on my team.

 

[Starat327]

I'm going to stop watching now, just like I did at the bottom of the third last night, so Chelsea can start the comeback.

It's just not Liverpool's year lol

Looks like they will have to win the Champions League to qualify for it next year.

Leeds are on a roll!

Leeds are on a roll!

They're really helping us out this year. Would be nice if they can steal a point against Tottenham and Man Utd too.

Not even been "that" unlucky (though for sure should have had 2x more wins or so)...

Defensively been one of the worst ~5 teams in the Prem so far this year in terms of chances allowed, ExGA etc.

Yeh, should not be as low as 9th... but dont deserve to be higher than ~6-7th.

City, Arsenal, Newcastle and Tottenham have been clearly the best 4 teams so far... Chelsea have had some very lucky results and tbh I think the Brighton game was some of that evening out.

I love this team

Yeah, something is off with Liverpool. Maybe the start of the decline? VVD seems to have lost a step. TAA has never been particularly good defensively. Their midfield is either old, hurt, or inexperienced. Salah looks past his prime. Luis Diaz doesn't look as explosive as he did last season. Mane is gone. Klopp looks tired (he looks like he's aged 10 years the last couple seasons).

There seems to be a lot wrong with them this year. But still there's enough quality to beat ManCity and comfortably win their CL group.

I love this team

Reiss Nelson having himself a game.

Wish Arteta kept him on. He should get more playing time after this game.

Edit: I’m blind

Especially if Saka is hurt. He should definitely start in the Europa League.

LFG Union. Pay back these bastards that received a gift last year
