joking aside .... tomorrow we'll be the ones we're facing a newly-promoted team. if all else fails put Suarez masks on the front 3.
Not that it was Ben's fault....but they signed a 50m CB that can't head and is short. They were destroyed last year on high/long balls and set pieces.
Before we bury them - Arsenal were missing Aubamayeng, Lacazette, Partey, and Gabriel. Say what you want about the decline of Auba - he still scores. They will be better than today - probably in the hunt for the 5-8th spots.
brentford's win helps us ... don't underestimate a newly-promoted team, playing at home before a packed stadium for the first time in god knows how long. their adrenaline will be through the roof.
Agreed Sam. First games of the season can be real banana skins and often are. The we have Utd 5 Leeds 1 .

RIP RIF The DFB is mourning the passing of one of the greatest German footballers of all time. Rest in peace, Gerd Müller. Our thoughts are with his wife and family at this time. pic.twitter.com/2kkIgiYtcO— germanfootball_dfb (@DFB_Team_EN) August 15, 2021
So it strikes me that we need a new thread title for this season - we're not chasing them now...they're back to chasing us! Unfortunately, I can't come up with anything remotely clever, which is why I never start threads!
