    The one thing i like is that our defence looks much better now everyone is back. Gabriel in particular has been immense.

    Including today, Barca have 3 matches scheduled over 7 days and 5 matches over 13 days. Imagine this could be a grueling spell for them and make or break for Koeman.

    So you're saying if I'm going to put a bet on Koeman's sacking I should do so now?

    I defer to @Garrett for this but it seems like the pressure would increase especially if they have a bad showing against Benfica next week and follow with a poor performance against Atleti the following weekend.

    Almost half the board wanted to fire him after the Bayern loss, so... betting on Koeman losing his job is probably wise. It'll cost 12m to fire him... but not making any European competition would cost more.

    I wish I didn’t have to work through this Barca game. This line-up is a *choice* by Koeman and it could backfire horrendously.

    Barca going for set piece goals through Depay and/or Dest crosses. Peak Koeman.

    EDIT: He's brought on Luuk de Jong for a similar result.

    And now Pique has been put up front!

    Barca trying to find every way possible to not score when in the box.

    Araujo is truly exceptional. Gonna be some player for a decade or more.

    Knowing that these are two centerbacks by trade makes this hilariously perfect.

    I work in marketing for a very well known sports team as of recently (I won't say who but some of you could reasonably guess), and let me tell you, this is not as unusual as you might think.

    Making fake accounts (usually a little better than this) or generally faking questions is absolutely batshit and not something I would do, but weirdly prevalent.

    Arsenal are just shite at doing it and that's probably because they have a very new social media team from what I know.

    Since posting, I've read that the questions were actual questions from fans, but there must have been something on the fans profile that they didn't want to highlight. So it's not a fake question, just funny as fuck that it was so easy to spot. That's good to know though.

    Make your voices heard. I think it’s important to also mention fifa needs to introduce mandatory player vacations.

    Can we talk about how abysmal Kane has been so far this season

    I know it's early, but he's been absolutely nonexistent

    also Bergwijn has a sprain and twisted ankle, very cool

    Has Kane spat the proverbial dummy out? More at ten.

    The City lineup against Wycombe is wild. The whole backline is academy players and Lavia gets his first start at 17. Really excited to see him get some time. Hopefully Palmer and McAtee get in off the bench.

    I agree with this as well.
