Team for tomorrow needs Calafiori, Eze, Kai, Trossard and maybe even Madueke in it tomorrow - IMO

Arsenal face the attritional game of the season against Everton tomorrow It's Friday, which means press conference day, as Mikel Arteta faces the media ahead of a really tough game against Everton. We'll have a little look at what he said, as well as Moyes, in tomorrow's b...

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 β€˜farewell, scarewell, tour’?

Please?

I don’t 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 πŸ™

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 weren’t - 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

11.03.2026 19:39 πŸ‘ 1 πŸ” 0 πŸ’¬ 0 πŸ“Œ 0

Tell you what - Kai - that’s 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.

11.03.2026 19:27 πŸ‘ 1 πŸ” 0 πŸ’¬ 0 πŸ“Œ 0

We’ve been poor, for sure, but there’s been loads of times where the ball has just randomly fell to Leverkusen players.

Sometimes it’s just not your day I guess.

We’ve seen this for a while now- but we’ve ground out results. Doesn’t 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. Can’t beat his man, losing the ball, not strong enough. So poor tonight.

11.03.2026 19:01 πŸ‘ 1 πŸ” 0 πŸ’¬ 1 πŸ“Œ 0

Madueke on for one of the wide forwards I think

11.03.2026 18:55 πŸ‘ 1 πŸ” 0 πŸ’¬ 1 πŸ“Œ 0

Shocking defending. Completely unmarked at the back post. Appalling start.

11.03.2026 18:51 πŸ‘ 1 πŸ” 0 πŸ’¬ 1 πŸ“Œ 0

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 we’re 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 couldn’t get it out of his feet 😑

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 Vik…

100% - think they’ve 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.
