Completely agree, my perspective on Ø has only gotten more positive these past few months for this exact reason.

The way rivals are talking about us tonight is so funny.

Then they'll all cry when we get loud when we start winning things.

Wait on us. We're coming.

#afc

The best part of it all though is that we aren't even that boring to watch (true neutrals who don't care if we win or lose will tell you that too)

We play the highest line in the league and play some of the best attacking football in Europe

It's not our fault that opponents sit deepest against us

Seeing discourse again on #afc being boring to watch, especially from Lfc/City fans

I'd find it boring too if I was watching my title rival win weekly whilst never conceding

We aren't here to put on a show

That entertaining Arsenal used to exist and we got battered, no wonder rivals loved that.

The thing is, is tonight's defending from Barca even exclusive to just the Brugge game?

Positive side is that we are much stronger re rotation than they are, so hopefully we will see #afc in the semi-finals.

Palace can absolutely do one for what they've done re EFL cup dates.

They were getting less than 2 days rest REGARDLESS of the original date or the new date.

The change they have cried for hasn't changed their rest time, all it's instead done is drag us down with them.

Disgusting.

I was so sure your first post-match comment was going to be on Ekitike.

This is the real Slot, this is him without:

Huge injuries to rival teams
Huge luck
Huge ref decisions going his way

You all tried gaslighting us all last season, and we had to take it.

Not anymore.

We knew what we were seeing.

#afc

So many tears about our set pieces, yet the anger should be towards the fact that 95% of teams have no interest in playing an open game of football against us.

We'd happily play an open game every week as we all know what would happen every time.

Haaland looks more complete than ever this season.

Main thing with City is to make sure that they also let in a lot of goals, which they easily could do.

Issue is that teams they play are doing that thing where they miss everything.

Unrelated note, go check lfc's xg at SJP the other week and then see ours today!

With Salah very likely not hitting last season's numbers on top makes it an even harder challenge.

Btw this is absolutely my favourite thing to do against Lfc friends now when they accuse Mikel/Afc of being negative team

(We created more big chances v City than they did v Everton, with the same xg and having way more possesion)

Oh and btw, idk about you but I'd say City are better than Everton

Obviously he can pass, the issue is that he's not creative and that player needs to be when playing in a midfield of Rice and Zubimendi.

Madueke being doubled-up on as they know lw isn't a huge issue.

WHY NOT START EZE.

This coach is so stubborn at times man.

But on gw2 they told me he's already better than every Arsenal attacker, so who am I supposed to believe?

I reckon Liverpool could do with a bit more luck this season. They're not getting enough.

Ahhhh you meant this season, I thought you was talking all time and just hugely misquoting a stat 😀

10 contributions per 90?

Surely Mikel didn't just buy Eze to use as an out and out winger???

#afc

Every season I forget what it's like playing Spanish teams in Europe and I get frustrated all over again.

They'd genuinely go to ground if you coughed on them.

#afc

Only we could have our final injured striker get injured by being headbutted by his own teammate.

That is no small cut, he will have to go off.

Our injuries are only down to the coaches training regime though remember!!

#afc

Just me or is 0.97 open play not very "relentless" against the team that's probably going to finish 20th?

Really surprised to see Timber so small on this, unless I am looking at the wrong chart.

Caldentey at centre half was my fav!

Every single time I go to look at Twitter there's about 20 notifications and it's mostly Tommy Robinson. I don't follow him, I don't follow any of his admirers, and yet that's who it wants me to see. Astonishing that the UK government's position on this platform remains "it's fine"

Oh.

But he was a Liverpool player and they got 25 million for him?

Which then can of course be reinvested into the first team.

Sorry if I am being a bit slow here!?

Am I missing something - why is it an issue that Doak is included?
