He will be a threat simply with his speed as Milner found out but other than that little dribble (that came to nothing ) I’ve been underwhelmed with his first 20 minutes… he’s miscontrolled the ball twice which surprised me actually.

He will prob score three in the last ten minutes now LOL

Thing is, every time Chelsea make an approach for a player, the players club will automatically add 40% to the players true value. And you can't blame Chelsea for spending, so many players flop, they need to take some responsibility too.

Even though overall we were the better team, and just for 30 mins Mudryk showed promise, and he has plenty of potential. Im confident, i don't think we'll get CL, but hopefully things start to turn around for us a bit now.

The best you can say about Mudryk is that he’s speedy with fast feet . He showed a few nice touches but I expected sooo much more .
It actually makes sense given he’s only started SEVENTEEN first team games in his career !!!


I’m more than happy now I’ve seen him in the flesh against a dreadful Liverpool team as I was gutted that the move to Arsenal fell though .

I bet Trossard impresses more for Arsenal tomorrow

You are jumping the gun with Mudryk. He's only been at Chelsea for about 5 mins. He came on and did the best he could in 30 mins, with poor attacking options around him. Lets give him a few more games before we start calling him a flop, jezz man.

As for Trossard impressing, you think he'll even start tomorrow? I doubt it. He's a good player, but will be interesting to see how he gets on when he isn't the centre of attention at Arsenal, like he was at Brighton. He was Brighton's star. No he's in a team full of international stars. Good luck to him. But you're getting carried away imo (in before he scores a hatrick tomorrow :laugh: )

Time will tell..

Watching Mudryk on YouTube/TikTok he has amazing control but today he just looked decent .. his first touch running on to the that pass into the box was very poor and went out for a goal kick ..then his first touch for that cross into the box from Ziyech was poor .

When did you ever see Ziyech / Mahrez or the like mis-control the ball.

The lad should do well enough just with his speed and dribbling but I saw enough to say that he’s no world beater .


Have you seen the Brentford managers comments on him ??
They had a deal agreed last season for him for about £25 million

Again, he looked sharp, helped make a few attacks, his first game for a new club, new country, we will see if he comes good. But he can't be judged on 30 mins.

Yeah well that was last season, and like i say, when Chelsea shows interest a player automatically becomes 40% more valuable than he actually is.

Ziyech and Mahrez can be awful/non existent is games at times, especially Ziyech.

You're being way too hard on Mudryk, based on his first 30 mins for Chelsea. Which was a perfectly fine 30 mins, he showed potential.

I am left thinking with all the decisions now via VAR.

Just how many matches would have had different results and different teams winning the title even if it had been in use from decades ago.
Also teams maybe not being relegated either.

It's almost heading to the point now, where if a player scores there'll have to be a wait to see if VAR says he actually has.
I'm less sure that the use of VAR is or will improve the game.

I hate VAR and so do the players .
There is no point celebrating a goal because quite often the players are mocked by fans when it’s cancelled out by VAR

VAR wasn’t meant to be there for disallowing goals by a millimetre as the old rule was that they gave the benefit of the doubt to the attacking team

Man U forced arsenal into making errors and vice versa. The thing is, the majority of teams that would have given Arsenal a good game have been poor this season, so basically the stars have aligned for Arsenal. Thats great, it's nice to have a change at the top, but teams can very quickly drop form too and it's going to be a tough second half for Arsenal to keep at that level

Those two league games against ManC are sooooo critical now . I think that if Arsenal can get two draws or just one win they should take the league ..

If City win both I can actually see City running away with the title again

Shelvey deffo a good reinforcement for their midfield


Felipe has bags of experience which he brings in to strengthen their defence

I’d agree .. even before the signings.

I see Everton and West Ham going down plus one other maybe Leeds

They are the three I’d also like to get relegated as they are the three teams playing the worst football .. they have to get with the modern game

Sooooo Jorginho is an Arsenal player !!!

I’m wondering if we will see another side to Jorginho now with him playing in team who play beautiful free flowing football ?

He was presumably pressurised to play safe , simple , no risk football .

The guy is Brazilian after all and he’s a highly skilled guy ..

He’s apparently a nice enough guy but I’ve always thought he’s probably one of the most overrated players of the last decade ( along with Declan Rice ) .

Sterling has possibly the worst first touch I’ve ever seen in 50+ years of watching football so when everyone was saying he was one of the best players in world football I was completely mystified

Cancello was dropped due to poor form and became a troublemaker with a bad attitude, so they got rid of him. City is a team full of highly paid stars, of course they are going to be tempted away by competitors, they are only in it for the money

Called itYesterday, and maybe Newcastle, are the only games where we've missed Gabriel Jesus. You need to remember that he's going to come back.

We've lost two in a row. Its concerning but I think we'll be fine against Brentford next week at home. We played well against City but ultimately switched off for their goal. Yesterday, Everton had a new manager bounce. Arsenal had 70% possession but Everton did great job in shutting down our main attacking threat.

Man City are capable of going on a ten game winning run but the way they're currently playing I don't think they're capable of it at the moment. Liverpool look out of sort.

I dont see how you think Arsenal will implode. Is it more you hope they implode than anything else?

A few people have highlighted Haaland as the problem. I think they may be onto something. He always plays, he plays every minute. Pep took Aguero or Jesus off after sixty minutes in just about every game. Haaland changes the dynamic of the team. The teams who have been successful against just concentrate on Haaland. It seems to be getting results.

They will go in hard to save face / embarrassment imho

no they won't, because there are too many other clubs with similar problems. It would destroy the premier league and the money THEY get from it

So why are the premier league even charging them at all ?

Never mind hitting them with an unprecedented number of offences ( serious ones at that ) .. by your reasoning they would have simply turned a blind eye

none of these offences are clear cut. The premier league would lose its status as the big money machine which the premier league and all the clubs in it benefit from. There are literally billions at stake. That's why nothing will happen

So why would they risk alienating ManCity in the first place then ?

By your reasoning they should turn a blind eye to all bad practices

they are making it known that Man City should behave themselves

It's a house of cards, there isn't a team in the premier league that won't have done something dodgy at some point in the last 15 years. We all know it and if Man City are penalised, fingers will be pointed in all directions and the premier league will lose its appeal. Money always talks

It seems to be falling into Arsenal’s arms slowly but surely

The two games they play against each other are paramount obviously

Man City are having a Season of change, which will always knock a team's performance, even with a top team with a top Manager.

They'll probably still win the League this season anyway.

Prob depends on the two games between City and Arsenal

If Arsenal can avoid getting beat in both games then I think they will win the league

thats not usually where seasons are won or lost. It's slipping up against smaller teams that loses the league as the pressure builds.

Everton showed how Arsenal could be beaten, so i expect a lot more games like that in the 2nd half of the season

Na the Everton game was just a freaky one off .. Everton went from running the shortest distance in games to running the furthest last week .. embarrassing really .

The two games against each other are paramount as they are both effectively 6 pointers imho
