Today's Football 2018-19 Season

Arsenal again showing that having proven goal scorers win you games - same story when we played them. Better team for 60 minutes but lacking that cutting edge

Arsenal annoy me because if I'm being dead serious, I don't think we're that far away from them. I think we possibly have a better all round XI and a stronger depth to our squad. But as I said at the start of the season, their front 3 are just going to blow most of the league away. I think they could play 8 under 16's with auba, lacazette and ozil and finish top six.

Before anyone laughs at me, would players like iwobi and xhaka get near our bench, never mind star.

Leicester get that pen they should have had and its a different game

I just saw on the highlights that hand-ball. If that had been Everton doing it, the referee couldn’t have pointed to the penalty spot any quicker...

Somebody please explain to me what Maguire has done outside of a few solid World Cup games to be worth 70 million or whatever they were quoting United at

I think it's people who watch MOTD and see this big lump coming out from the back looking comfortable on the ball thinking he's a player. I watched plenty of Leicester last year and the fella cant defend. Anything behind him or down the sides and he's toast.

We have better players than Arsenal.

We have better players than Arsenal.

Not up front we don't. We can compete with them but I think Aubameyang and Lacazette make their front line better. Midfield as long as they're playing Xhaka I'd take our midfield and at the back I'd say it is close but we edge it.

He's probably considered as good as Stones, and 50M players a few years back are worth 70-80M today.

They've got strikers. We have no real strikers. We can knock them down in midfield though. We have the hitmen if required .

I just don't know why he is considered to be that level. Stones makes mistakes but when he is on his game is a really good defender especially when covering in behind. He is also an elite level passer from defense. Maguire might be slightly above average at that and he obviously brings the set piece threat but he can't defend space at all best I can tell.

Happy KOEMAN OUT Day

It does seem like the top six are getting a massive amount of decisions going there way this season before surely now VAR will come in. It does annoy me how many soft pens and red cards we've had against us, whilst the others are getting that luck in their favour. It's already been the difference of quite a few points.

A great performance from Ozil last night, people are so quick to criticise him after an average performance so worth noting how good he was last night.
