Merino has been very good.
Same position in the table with and without Xhaka. Plus you can also make an argument that maybe Xhaka just reached a level of maturity and found his best form regardless of coach or system, because he continued on at Leverkusen.
Also last thing donβt want to sound harsh on Merino but for the second consecutive season, Arteta has got the number 8 position wrong (replacing Xhaka). He bought Havertz as an 8 and failed miserably but luckily he produced as a 9. Merino this summer again guy is not good enough
The point about the corners is fair. Over the course of a calendar year, you'd see tons of penalties across all leagues. Maybe it's just an issue with English refs (ha surprise ha), but... Sus
"Players coming together accidently going for the ball, I don't want to see penalties given for!" βπ€
The panel agree that Brighton shouldn't have been awarded their penalty π¬

Youβll never see Declan Riceβs second yellow given again.
Youβll never see Trossardβs second yellow given again.
Youβll never see the Saliba red again.
And youβll never see that Saliba penalty given again.
Absolutely PATHETIC.
Gameβs gone.
Makes no sense that Arsenal played Brentford on New Years while the rest of the teams played on the 26th-30th. Yet Arsenal and Brentford play on Saturday lol
π₯π¨π π’π₯π¦: Multiple scouts donβt have a 1st-round grade on Colorado QB Shedeur Sanders, per @TomPelissero on the @RichEisenShow
βI've already talked to people within the league who don't have anything close to a first-round grade on the guy.β
