No, but there's enough other things that have been subpar.

He waited about 25 minutes too long to make subs against Wolves and he set up the Palace game like it was going to be an open game as opposed to Palace playing a defensive game and hitting on the counter.

I think a mistake was made in starting Lingard over Mata who would have been better at this type of a game.


Pogba out of the Euro qualifiers with an ankle injury.

Ole said it wasn’t bad so it’s probably more precautionary than necessary.

I hope the Reds still have their legs under them for that one. They're gonna be playing A LOT of football in short order. Any slip up and City is going to take 1st place.

City is inevitable.

Guendouzi more than Xhaka. Xhaka has the most passes because of his position, not his talent.

xG chain was more what I was referring to as well, but yeah.

AWB also withdrew from the national team due to a back issue.

I believe this belongs in the National Teams thread.
World Cup: - National Team threads

It's related to United physioroom potentially piling up...

Guendouzi is so freaking terrible it boggles the mind he is starting for Arsenal. Everyone is losing their mind about the Xhaka penalty (moronic play nonetheless), but it happened in first place because mop top decided to lacsidasically clear the ball instead of resolutely belting it away from danger. It looks like there is no urgency to his game, and most of his passes leave you wondering wtf is he thinking.

de Bruyne seems obvious. Was a bit surprised to see Mane in there with others. Mahrez should be a starter but plays for City.

Apparently having the number 13 in your username makes you incapable of seeing Guendouzi's talent

Xhaka is the Swiss Jonjo Shelvey

He has his flaws and defensively not very good, but for 20 he shows flashes of brilliance at times, and will definately improve.
the pass he gave to Auba for Arsenals 2nd goal was sublime. The vision and the audacity to attempt was encouraging.

Sure. Nice rebuttal.

xhaka is in a class of his own.

 

[YNWA14]

Finally:

Van Dijk names greatest team-mate and atmosphere, Man City ace is toughest opponent

He answered a bunch of questions but I thought this one was cool. That makes both Klopp and van Dijk who think Firmino is the best among the front 3 (or at least Klopp has implied it):

Most intriguingly, when asked about the greatest player he has played with, he replied: "I’m going to be a little bit biased and say one of my team-mates; I would say Roberto Firmino."

Amount of passes is completely irrelevant and only has to do with how much of the ball you have. Not every succesfull pass does anything good, quite the contrary.

Usually this has been the case, he was great as a box to box agiant Sp*rs but he is compeletely useless as a DM. He has actually shown some promise but he really should not be a starter for us.

Imagine using an asterisk in Spurs and asking to be taken seriously.

 

[robertmac43]

Really interesting listen on Spurs right here: Especially the contract talks at 21ish minutes
