The narratives after this one are wild. City were better today and they were very unlucky not to at least draw. They don’t really have to change anything.

Nobody is asking Tuchel how he plans to win in three weeks without just being lucky.

Dont think City were close to being better in the second half.

This might be a simp question, but how come Bielsa isn't in higher demand? I have never heard him linked with any "bigger" jobs ever since Marseille and never heard of any other clubs swooping in for him since he's been at Leeds.

Not implying everything is all perfect at Leeds or anything, but I'd sure love some of their intensity and excitement. I'm sure a ton of other teams would as well.

Also, I take back the Meslier criticisms. 21 is so young for a GK and he's looked great as of late.

They've already settled with Uefa. Probably have a similar fate with the PL (5% of TV money to be redistributed).

I was out playing poker last night but watched the full game when I got home. I went to university in Sheffield and was an Owls member in the last 90s. As is usually the case, the last month of the 2nd tier comp is more exciting that the top flight.

He knows the fan protests will possibly get one of the home games postponed, so best to field the best team away. GTO

His lineup vs roma was puzzling really

I don't see him rotating vs leicester given that not winning means city becomes champions (and 2nd place is technically not secured)

Then he's definitely not rotating vs plop

I think the rotation this week will mostly be Cavani/Bailly getting a game, maybe Matic/Telles too at a push. Wouldn't surprise me if he even sticks to his late subs.

Lol ref stopping game for a head injury and then changing it to a free kick when he realized the guy was holding his knee.

Reading the comments on The Athletic articles about Arsenal is making me lose my sanity.

I've been more bullish on Arsenal itt than I probably should have been at times, but I've kept it to a "when everyone is healthy" kind of praise. It's still an unbalanced team even at the best of times. But reading the comments, you'd think we have the squad of Liverpool or Chelsea.
Xhaka or Ceballos has started nearly every game in CM for Arsenal this season. Hard to win with that. Partey has had a bad season, so we have what...the 13th best midfield in the PL? What are you doing with that?

Half of the other starters are either ~19 or new to the PL.

dear god Mason just does so much sexy ****. All I want is for him to play 90% of his minutes at CF next season even if it is slightly less than what he's gotten this year. Such a talent and he can only get better

I also really don't understand the constant undying support for Arteta when he hasn't been good as a manager so far (8th and 10th in successive seasons doesn't = good imo). It seems like he's some Arsenal legend when he played way more matches for Everton than he did Arsenal.

Though I speak for all other fans in saying: please keep up the lack of self awareness and be satisfied with what is being put out

Haaland is a pipe dream anyway. But yes, I absolutely would much rather go with Sancho and utilize Cavani and Greenwood at CF. United actually do have the strikers when chances are being created and we've been utter **** on the right wing this year
