      I was saying this all preseason, hoping arsenal would sign a striker, but was happy to see him seemingly proving me wrong. Would be less of a worry if the wingers were prolific

    Emerson got red on tackle on Martinelli some weeks ago, and that from Auba is not. Oliver is not refereeing same line in different games, must be pretty annoying for players not to know where his line is.

      I 100% agree.. wanted to post this myself, but feel like I'm just moaning at this point haha.

      It seems like all they want to do is frustrate opponents and counter. What a boring game plan and very mid/bottom-table team game plan to have.

      God I need a huge sofa only owning Trippier for Newcastle!

      - 1.1m brought in Wilson this week (think a record for a player this season), 29% EO
      - Almiron 65% EO
      - Newcastle defence 141% EO so only owning Trippier is bad if they keep a CS
