Few early thoughts ahead of tomorrow's game against Everton. This will be quite the watch I think (and not in a good way) - www.suburbangooners.com/2026/03/13/a...
Some thoughts on the deeper role that Eze played yesterday, which in some ways I thought was positive, but in others I'm not sure it 100% worked.

Some Thursday thoughts on the 1-1 draw last night - kind of nicked it, but thought that's probably a fair one - www.suburbangooners.com/2026/03/12/l...
Dear Footballing Gods.
Please may this be the start of some kind of Magical, Mystical, Pep Guardiola βfarewell, scarewell, tourβ?
Please?
I donβt believe City will be this shit again all season. But maybe u could just hear my cry and make this the start of something Spursy π
Guys and girls. Man City.
I think what we need now is the soul-destroying defeat. We all wanted them to get past Real to make their lives difficult in terms of fixtures. But now I think we need a prolonged hangover of sadness by being battered by Real.
Doku is one of those players who, as an opposition fan, terrifies you.
But as a City fan, I bet he drives them nuts
We can talk about Arsenal not being great tonight - and we werenβt - but you look at those stats, at what Leverkusen created in the second half after the goal, and a draw was probably a fair result.
Side note - showed what a joke of a ref we just witnessed - booking Kai there
Tell you what - Kai - thatβs some Cajones you have there mate to take that
Maybe not a stonewall. Looked soft.
Stonewall pen. Great work from Noni.
Another shit refereeing decision there by penalising Saliba. Fraud of an official.
Weβve been poor, for sure, but thereβs been loads of times where the ball has just randomly fell to Leverkusen players.
Sometimes itβs just not your day I guess.
Weβve seen this for a while now- but weβve ground out results. Doesnβt feel like it tonight.
Final third football from Arsenal tonight has been utterly abject.
Farcical from the ref again by booking Zubi. Definite homer tonight.
Saka is having a shocker. Canβt beat his man, losing the ball, not strong enough. So poor tonight.
Madueke on for one of the wide forwards I think
Shocking defending. Completely unmarked at the back post. Appalling start.
Saka taking far too many touches time and time again. Like Martinelli, been really poor this first half. Hes slowing the game down too.
Other than hitting the bar, feels like another poor Martinelli game, tonight.
Eze picking up the ball with plenty of space in this game in between the lines.
Ref buying another cheap fall-down from Kofane.
Unlucky tbf - underside of the bar - couple of inches lower and weβre ahead
Gabriel getting muscled by Kofane. Looks a strong player - Gabi rarely rattled like this.
How are we not one up???
Fabulous move!
Should Martinelli have done better? Just couldnβt get it out of his feet π‘
More shit refereeing in Europe. Ref gave a foul for Leverkusen without even seeing the incident and responding to a player going down - poor.
Andrick is lucky there. In a yellow, body checked Big Vikβ¦
100% - think theyβve looked at low-block Everton and thought Trossard and Kai a better fit for that, than maybe tonight.
Kind of expected given the weekend rotation. I also think they might prefer the guile of Kai and Trossard v the low block of Everton.
