Arsenal to win to nil would be amazing. 1-0 or 0-0 even. No chance of it happening but one can hope.

Was 50/50 on WC between him & solanke. Thought going solanke would be the safe option & wanted to take a risk on a player with lower EO

        That’s been the case since he arrived in England. Still, I’d rather have someone who gets into those positions and contributes to the attacking threat of his team every week that a player on the periphery who sometimes goes on a scoring run.
        I’ll probably have Darwin at some point before the end of this season and I’ll definitely have him at some point next season too.
