Going to call it, Florian Wirtz is not suited to us or the Premier League. Brilliant footballer but the pace is just too much for him, I initially thought he might work out but I'm not sure. 25 mins so far and nothing from him. It could be balance but I don't see how we can continue to play him in the same team as Slob and Macca. Three players all wanting to occupy the same space.

I am left wondering if AI is getting the answer he needs? Gravenbach looks like he is done, unless he gets his act together, I fear for Wirtz as well. He needs to start showing what he can do otherwise I can't see how he will stay a starter. We still play way too slow and can't pass a ball more than 5 yards.

20 Sep 2026 14:46:21
I'm not even sure he's average.

20 Sep 2026 15:04:42
Wirtz has to go!

20 Sep 2026 15:11:04
I don't think he has to go, but he needs to earn it. He has offered nothing today.

Feel like it's a big game today with the results this weekend. A win and we can say it's been a pretty decent start to the season but a draw or a loss and it's not great. Have to say though I'm loving watching teams like Brighton, Brentford, Sunderland etc giving the big teams a run for the money.

Really like watching Bournemouth as well but hopefully not today. Will give us a feel good factor over the international break if we can grab a win.

I am looking for a statement performance today. A stamp of iraola marking he has finally arrived.


Or just a win?.

20 Sep 2026 09:48:07
I think this will be a tough game personally. Not getting 3 points won't come as a shock to me.

Honestly I think the statement performance may come against after the international break.

Salah (washed according to some) with a hat-trick against Galasaraay today, putting him at 9 goals & assists for the season so far. Love to see it.

20 Sep 2026 14:10:47
Chewy - whilst he has been fantastic in Turkey, I think it was pretty obvious he did not have the physical ability anymore to have the same impact in premiership.

{Ed666's Note - And please tell me who’s playing so well for us on the right hand side this season?

20 Sep 2026 14:49:00
Araujo ?.

What is the ref on in the Brighton game?

He is giving Arsenal absolutely everything... even reversing throw-ins whilst Arsenal take 15 to 20 seconds on their goal kicks.

But people will tell me that there is no bias mor corruption on some level.

Brighton 3 Arsenal 0

Where is the poster who said to my post Arsenal are miles better than anyone? give them the league now? the PL league title is not won after 5 games, it's a marathon not a 100 yard sprint, anything can still happen, we haven't even had winter yet. I bet ye Arteta wishes he got a point like we did at home to Fulham last week, the first game after a midweek fixture for Andoni ever and he got ripped, sometimes you have to give credit to the opposition, Brighton have proved that?

YNWA Andoni.

This weekend's game will give us a good indication of where we are in terms of development.

Bournemouth are very well organised, press hard and relentless. If we come out of this with the points I would hope to see confidence flood through the team.

1-1 but I'm hoping it's 0-1 as that would be the perfect result. Clean sheet would be great.

We do you see it Reds?

Chuffed Chelsea got battered last night ???.

19 Sep 2026 10:33:33
Bournemouth are unbeaten at home since Jan 3rd when they lost to Arsenal. In actual fact they've only lost 1 league game since then to Citeh!

I think a 2-2 draw is on the cards. A result we seem to like recently.

How on earth do Chelsea not have a midfield or defence despite spending billions?

19 Sep 2026 16:37:26
They're not in their best vein of form right now, so no reason why we shouldn't be going for the win. Particularly with Arsenal dropping points we need to be picking up three.

16 Sep 2026 03:40:59
So no isak and wirtz and we won the game and scored 3
But well its Tottenham, prolly team of our grannys could score 3.

Tottenham had a good game quite remarkable how open we get once our midfield gets beaten or opened.

Agree Last of Slot,

However it proved we have the Two Best Goalkeepers in the PL and probably Europe as well. It also proved a Goalkeeper's most important job must be to keep the ball out of your Net.

Guardiola proved this by replacing a GK who could play Hollywood Balls aka Ederson, and replaced him with a GK who could not kick for toffee, but just keeps the ball out of your net, Saves win you games, as well as scoring goals. Wonder why Woodman was not on the Bench last night? must have been injured? Oops we have the Three best goalkeepers in the League/Europe.

16 Sep 2026 09:54:18
But City won the EPL and Champions league with Ederson in goal. I don't think they have won anything major with Donnarumma in goal yet.

16 Sep 2026 19:10:56
007 Woodman's just had a newborn so given time off I believe. One thing that still annoys me watching the game is passing to the right foot of a left footed GK.

Cool see crowd response to Robbo. Solid team performance and lots of good individual performances too. Some standouts for me:

Koumas - busy and tidy with the ball, always involved. Could have bagged a goal on the night

Nyoni - the kid is ready to start more regularly. His time will come. Calm with ball, takes good positions off the ball, sticks a foot in

Kerkez & Frimpong - include them together as I think it was their best performances for the club. Up and down, defensively solid, gave away fouls which I don't mind as they were in the battle. Delivery terrible though ?

Jacquet - second half cameo but he is 100% the VVD replacement

Mama - error for their goal and his long balls are no good but his saves kept us in the game. They had clear chances and he stood up.

Iraola managing the minutes well. The kids played well and may motivate Iraola to freshen up the team slightly in the league to keep the energy up in those games.

{Ed666's Note - I think Mama had his best game for us tonight some truly astonishing saves. Shame he has poor distribution and can’t play with his feet.

16 Sep 2026 02:28:14
triple6 - wasn't looking good when he miscued a pass inside 60 seconds lol his saves were key today!

{Ed666's Note - He’s not Liverpool number one material that’s for sure but to his credit he made some insane saves today. That shot that was deflected in the pouring rain was beyond world class. And of course the one from the Swedish kid was simply sensational. If Alison was making those saves we’d be lauding him from here to eternity.

16 Sep 2026 06:10:07
Great shot stopper but is dracular with corners he does not like crosses.

16 Sep 2026 08:14:02
Marma showed tonight how good of a shot stopper he is. But he also showed is weaknesses, which is dealing with crosses, sweeping and ball playing. Able deputy but never a no 1 for me.

On Trey Nyoni, I like that he is the only mf we have who wants to be behind the ball. This gives us more security and I think for his age he has good maturity in his decision making when passing. He looks to play forwards with purpose when the pass is on, if not he doesn't force it and just plays the simple pass to keep possession. I also like his willingness to always show for the ball. This helps the team to keep control and balance, whereas Grav and Szob just want to always go forwards.

AI said he was cramping, so that is the catch. He is still growing and developing and maybe not yet physically able to be relied on week in week out. We do have a player on hands though.

16 Sep 2026 19:42:10
Mama's save from the deflected Marmoush cross was world class. He's a great keeper but probably just not the kind of keeper that we want for our system.

16 Sep 2026 20:47:14
Mamas saves were great and his passing on the ground was fine last night, unlucky that the one flap at a corner led to there goal but those are the fine margins. Ali is undoubted our No 1 but Mama is not a bad back up and I think better than Kelleher was.

Has anyone any concerns about Ali's decline, he's very shaky of late with his passing, seems to be making a few mistakes with the ball not sure if teams are just pressing us more but we definitely seem shaky when he is on the ball.

15 Sep 2026 23:15:58
Great from the kids tonight, Nyoni is absolute class, his midfield discipline is brilliant and puts Gravenslai to shame! It's almost like the manager wa dredging ro prove a point tonight between players that listen to him and the stars.

Great goal from Szoboszlai but I'm convinced he's an attention seeker and demands a more prominent role in the team, whether that fits the Iraola style is another matter.

16 Sep 2026 07:22:53
Considering there were ten changes I thought we did well enough, there were excellent goals, exciting game, something to get around with the younger players, a real energy.

I was watching on TV so can't be sure but Grav didn't seem to get much support when he came on. I think he'll be the benchwarmer this season. I'd keep Trey in for a few games.

16 Sep 2026 10:47:26
Take a bow Mr. Szobozlai .what a goal!
The best player in our squad should get all the attention he needs imo.?
Very good performance last night and I've been particularly impressed with MacAllister and Gakpo these last few games. Their attitude looks excellent and their performances much improved from last season.
