Arsenal are THE French heritage team and don’t employ a single French player in their front 6.
You look at the French National Team and see they generate the best forwards/attacking midfielders in the world and we have a whopping 0 of them.
All comes from Raya dancing on the ball like he has all game, when your back line is touching the ball more than any offensive players it’s a big problem, dead stats people get rated for these days
🚨🇲🇦 BREAKING: Morocco have been announced as AFCON winners with final result overturned by CAF.

Additionally, I thought this was a game for MLS over Calafiori.
The former is a lot better between the lines and breaking lines, which is a crucial factor in beating city. They’re too organized to just pass them to death, you need line breakers.
Arteta today absolutely disgraceful.
Starting THAT midfield and trossard, still conceding in the exact way that midfield is meant to prevent.
Then finally bringing on Eze and hooking Madueke instead of trossard who would’ve been electric on the left.
We’re one of the best teams in Europe. Act like it. Trust your players and don’t set up simply to try to contain the opposition. Take the game to them and decide our own destiny.
Mikel Arteta on replacing Ramsdale with Raya:
"I know this country. I knew what I was doing there. If he was a player from Serbia, we were having a different conversation.
But he was someone that was very much loved. English international." [Hayters TV]
