Yep, against Liverpool.

If I were leaving Arsenal looking for a better career development pathway, I don't think I'd head to Old Trafford. I would get on the phone to Amario Cozier-Duberry and see how he's doing. Chido Obi was rumoured to have had a tour of United's facilities a week ago, and not yet signed. Seems...

I would suggest our inability to keep key players fit was where we were falling down. This forced us to over rely upon inexperienced alternatives. A complete overhaul of our medical and performance personnel looks to have been made to resolve that issue.

Nothing to suggest that we actually wanted him, any rumoured interest may have always been De Zerbi led. De Zerbi always had preferred targets. I think a disconnected between what he wanted and what we considered to be worth taking a punt on was the straw that broke the camels back.

People keep saying goal creation was not Billy's job, but statistically he was taking 1 shot and performing 3 shot creation actions per premier League game. He was just not very good at making them count. As for not being involved in the final 3rd, his heatmap for last season says he popped up...

But that's my point, Billy shouldn't be playing there. He offered very little defensive cover and no offensive threat. He takes the spot because we were short of better suited players. It looks like the club are actively trying to resolve that, and yet some think he shouldn't be replaced.

I was going to give you a sensible answer, but what's the point when you compare Gilmour to Caicedo?

1 assist a season suggests otherwise

That we are entertaining offers for Billy and bidding for Gomez suggests that the club don't feel the same concerns over a disparity in the quality of the leagues that you do. The fact that so few clubs are vying for him is a good indicator of his importance. My initial point remains, if we...

What good is passing if it goes nowhere? Passing is vanity, Goals and assists are sanity.

What the other day when he was awarded Mom and made 2 assists?

For anyone saying we shouldn't sell him. If we didn't have him and were looking to sign a centre midfielder, how happy would you be if we were linked to Gomez and Gruda, and ended up with Gilmour?

If the sales of Gilmour, Gross, Sima and Undav allow us to sign Gruda, Gomez and a RB to finish our rebuild, then I'd be a little sad but fairly pleased with our recruitment.

Corners = goals

The reaction of Jonas Scheuermann, after Sarmiento scored, and the knowing look Andrew Crofts gave him, makes me think that it was something they had been working on in training. Milner's first two corners were shocking though. Both only just reached the first defender who cleared them easily.

I'm a big fan of Solly, but Minteh is a huge upgrade on the right wing. Any player we pay £30m for is going to be a first 11 player.

This is a decent analysis.

I think Pep is the main reason for our league's imbalance. Ligue 1 is totally skewed by PSG's financial dominance. Man City are not the biggest spenders in the Premier League. This graph is a year out of date, but is still fairly accurate. It will be interesting to see how Man City do when...

The truth is Pascal's high standards did decline towards the end of last season. He scored 4 goals and made 10 assists last season in the Premier League. But they all came before March. After that his levels dropped, and he didn't score or assist any more goals in the remaining 14 matches. We...
