Pretty sure there’s only a finite number of squad places for marquee European players on those Saudi squads. After the flurry of last summer there’s unlikely to be the same demand again this summer.
-
Having said that the way they’re playing right now I’d fancy us to beat them even if they were still in it.

Toney is actually better suited to England under Southgate as he’s a blunt force instrument that requires no instruction. The likes of Foden, Saka, and now Watkins are used to coaches who’ll give them clear tactical instructions for each game which they just don’t get with England.

Big ‘eck and Don Unai two very similar footballing minds in fairness.

Is the whole gambling thing resolved with him?? I'd sign him permanently all day long.

Love how he baits players into coming towards him when he has the ball on his own goal line. Such a well drilled tactic that we've benefited from so well. Dean Smith tried to do this too but it was never as good as it is now. We'd a great chance in the first half when Emi and Pau kept passing it along the inside our box and about 4 of Arsenal's front line kept getting closer to them. We managed to pass it through their press via McGinn and Rogers I think, Oliie missed a good chance.

The income they’re getting from their new stadium is huge. It’s far higher than they had projected it to be.

The mistake for their second was dreadful but given the reaction he'll have got from Emery and his teammates I reckon it's the kind of mistake you'll only make once. I think he's getting better and better - will be very interesting to see if we sign him permanently.
-
Farcical that they can have that level of power across Europe with their various clubs. How that's considered to be within the rules is beyond me. I realise that NSWE are aspiring to the same business model but they should outlaw it.

Looks like we're in similar form to when we played them before Christmas. Think we'd just come off the back of the Forest defeat a couple prior to that game. I honestly would've had City, Spurs, Fulham and even Wolves ahead of us in the form table. Must be a negative disposition I have!

Very similar circumstances to the 1-0 before Christmas. It's a midweek game on TV and is the standout fixture of the week. We don't have the same momentum as we did before Christmas but we seem to have a bit more confidence about us than a few weeks ago. I'd take a point all day long!

Have always felt Grealish's languid style is ideal for Emery. The way he carries the ball up the field is exactly what Emery has encouraged our players to do since he's been here. He'd be perfect when we're up against low blocks. Don't have a great deal of sympathy for him but he's been treated harshly by City.
-
We were also really good second half - particularly when zaniolo came on and really amped up the press. Arguably better as a team second half than first. Great to have such a good striker but not be solely dependent on them.
-
Injury time winner for them.

Felt a bit sorry for the Ajax guy that got sent off just after Ezri. He was as hard done by as Konsa was - the ref would never have booked him if he hadn't just handed out a ridiculously soft second yellow card.
