Arsenal are doing with Rice what they did with Özil—buying a league-winning centerpiece but failing to follow through with the supporting cast. Building a top side requires more than a marquee signing; it’s about creating an ecosystem that complements and amplifies that quality.

Hopefully Merino is available today.

Three men occupying the half spaces behind United's midfield two will be interesting.

Despite their 4-1 win over Everton, their defensive block ain't that great.

Pass and move, that's what football is about in Dimitar Berbatov's words.

Arsenal's transformation is about them rediscovering their ability to pass and move.

They have got their final third passer back and the break has rejuvenated the movement of the players around him.

Eze might be the last of his kind as a 10 in the Premier League.

Has that easy creativity about him, picks up acute spaces, lovely weight of passes, binds the play, quality first touch, doesn't just always put the balls in the box or force the issue.

Watching the game back, and Jesus, I have faith in you again.

Trossard-Merino shines through as a combination, ball to feet winger and a run in behind 8.

It has clicked tactically with Calafiori covering midfield spaces Merino vacates.

Ødegaardism, it's beyond obvious we need it. We look like Arsenal again.

To shoot from there and to score, this man was waiting to showcase his presence.

The ego is irked, the fire is ignited.
