You weren’t a little surprised it was Sarr over Lo Celso vs Brentford. At that point in the match, Brentford were pinned back. The match was there for the taking if we brought on another offensive spark.
Can’t fault Ange going with Sarr. Getting out with a point was important but thought Lo Celso could’ve helped get us 3 points.
What did you mean by “on brand for the bloke”?
Is GLC actually any more offensive than Sarr? He’s a tricky, skilful player but lacks punch IMO. Weak
- Xhaka - Smartly???? (1 good season, previously a club villain!)
- Haverz for 65m = Smart??? LOL
- Rice for 100m isn't "smart"..... Paying excessive money for a player everybody knows about isn't an act of intelligence.
Harbouring a suspected rapist isn't smart either.
Something we already have ourselves.......
Are you new to the bloke or something?
He's thought to be delicate, flakey and uncommitted by a lot of this fanbase for years now (and rumoured to be not especially liked by the peripheral staff aroundthe club).... It's only a bright pre-season and hope that he's turned a corner that has earned him a very recent reprieve with most here.
Please don't pull this shit on me..... You as good as called me racist over similar comments towards Ndombele and yet a month or so later you're all in on the very same opinions.
They are different but Biss can do things Rice can't. As a #6, Biss is a much better footballer.
Rice is really more like Sarr in terms of role but also their holding mid.
He's thought to be injury prone because he is. Some think he's a player that can get kicked out of a game but personally never saw that because Jose asked him to be a holding mf player and he did it.
I'm just wondering why you said it's on brand for him to pull a sulk over playing time and ask to leave when I can't remember him doing that before.
Based on two games? My point was that it only happens in an extreme set of circumstances.
Systems are systems and are not based around one given individual. You might be right. You might also be wrong.
I'm not in the business of hobbling horses so I can say "I told you so" but I guess we might find out at some stage this season.
I think this Lo Celso story may be nonsense- it’s so easy to write that speculatively just after he’s been dropped.
Maddison injury means GLC will likely start the next two matches- let’s see how he plays and his attitude and base out judgment on that rather than a random Spanish media outlet.

I bloody hope not
No because all preseason we have been hearing how Ange loves Sarr. He was marked untouchable by Ange apparently.
Lo Celso needs to prove himself more after his embarrassing time last time in the Premier so it makes sense that Sarr is ahead of him.
Given Bayern and ManU had talks with his club, but decided against due to fees being demanded I suspect it will remain a dream.
He has 3 years left on his contract so club do not need to be reasonable - and given ManU's propensity to overpay, the higher price rumours of £80m or so might be true.

Was meh at the WC. Went to watch his YT HLs, also very meh.
Not convinced.
I watched alot of ligue 1 the past few years, I just don't see anything special with Jonathan David, I'd rather we just stick Son upfront
