🚨🇧🇷 Arteta on Gabriel Jesus: “The first feeling when I saw him this summer… it was something different”.

“I could sense it. The energy from Gabriel was different”.

“The way he looks is different. The way he moves is different… he looks good!”, says via @SamJDean.

Off to the Lyon game today. I’ll be sure to start a Mexican Wave on behalf of everyone on here, and give AMN a hearty cheer and standing ovation for his years of sterling service to the red and white. :barscarf:

Did anyone even notice the Charity Shield today?

:rubchin:


Didn't think so.
:coffeespit:

Fuck me I genuinely totally forgot it! :oops: :lol:

My giving of fucks about the abortion of a sport that used to be football but is now soccer is getting less and less..... :|
I’ve lost all interest this summer - I didn’t even realise we were playing Leverkusen in the week.

I attempted to watch 5 mins of the charity shield yesterday - got bored after 2 mins and turned over to the Olympics

1-0 up and Zinchenko at left back again..That fanny seems to have got himself back into favour again..No title if he plays any considerable minutes this season.

Zinchenko doing an "Eboue" and tackling his own players! :banghead: :banghead: :banghead: If Arteta doesn't get rid it will be the Biggest Mistake in the transfer window.

Funny but sometimes I enjoy watching pre-season games more than league games - you get a chance to see new signings and young academy players playing against experienced players albeit in a relaxed enviroment. Its why I used to like the league cup games being on tv - I know steve o wants us to go all out for all domestic cups, but for me the league cup was always a competition to blood young players, but now we insist on playing experienced players in it and the young lads dont get a snitt and yet we still get nowhere near winning it :roll:

Came on as sub, can see he has a lot of quality.

LB isn't his best position but can do a good job there.

LCB he's certainly going to get games there as injury cover and rotational wise for Gabriel, hes very good on the ball and positional play, reading the game quality.

Squad wise a huge upgrade on having to play Kiwior or Zinchenko, neither are good enough as we know long run of games.

Linighans there!!

We so badly need an attacking signing, and a box to box central mid....however the league won't be decided by ANYTHING WE DO, it will be decided by the amount of Canon fodder teams that try and give city a game...time after time last season teams just sat back and were hoping to not conced any more than 4
