Yeah, tough one for you today. Do you think Hags job is in jeopardy?
No. He’ll get until Xmas. The Glazers jacked up this roster royally. Get Ugarte in there who lead Europe in tackles and interceptions since 2022 while actually being able to move and it will make a difference. Hell the 17 year old Collyer was better than Casemiro. Hard to blame Hag there for anything but starting Casemiro. I get it though. Against Liverpool is a tough debut for a 17 year old to start. I’m not panicking yet. That hole in front of the CB’s has been addressed but we won’t see it floor 2-3 weeks due to break. Today exposed Casemiro even further. He cannot roll him out anymore. He’s a liability.

With the big Liverpool win I was thinking of how Glov would have unleashed his trash talk. Funny thing, he was the worst trash talker ever, as if Ted Lasso were trying to trash talk.

Rest easy, Glov. You are missed.

Arsenal had some hits during this International break. Spurs need to pounce while they can.

If I'm a title contending team (ie: Arsenal), I'm not releasing players for friendlies. It's a joke leading into the NLD and City in 2 weeks along with Champions League.
Nations League isn't needed for sure. There are enough competitions out there and the players are basically year round already. I totally agree about the friendlies...no way would I send them unless they weren't getting minutes. This break however had some S. American WC qualifiers which are typically blood baths and the Nations League BS. The players are all tired of it, but $$$$ will always win out.

World Cup
WC qualifiers
Continent Championships (Euros, Gold Cup, COPA.....etc.)
EUFA or Euro league competitions in season already
Multiple League Cups (basically 2 now in each major league)

Good news for most EPL fans...City's hearings start next week. So I guess that means Everton and Chelsea will somehow get punished again.

NORTH. LONDON. DERBY. DARBY. o_O

Tottenham v. Arsenal, 9 a.m. EDT, USA

Going out on a limb here, I have to go with Arsenal. They get the win.
