Look at the love de Zerbi is giving Billy G on the pitch. If only Tuchel could have taken that approach with the kid.

No chance - the story is already written that Haaland scores the goal that clinches the title !

I think it is City's last home league game as well ...

I don't reckong he will start mate, Pep is all-in on the CL now. Pep went mad the other day because Haaland gave up his penalty to get Gundogan his HT, i really don't see him risking anything now.

Hey @ModI broke your auto correct system  😉

Would love Leicester to win that game in hand, I'd like to see both Leeds and Everton down!

Not gonna get all of the money back for Koulibaly and his wages are an issue, but if we can get anything for him, we should take it. One of Gallagher, RLC or Kovacic is probably going to need to stay because we have no midfield outside of Enzo. Even if we sign a DM, I don't trust Kante to stay fit for even a quarter of the season at this point. I'm starting to wonder if Chalobah can fill in now and again.

Should be Chalobah or the New DM signing starting as our DM next season imo.

Oh, 3-0 now.

Said a few seasons back that you can't win a league title with Jorginho. You can win a few cups with him and there will be league games where you need that calm presence on the ball, but there will always be games where is bullied and run ragged. We saw it in every single season he was at Chelsea.

It was Arteta that f**ked up today, his tactics were all wrong against Brighton, Arsenal should of been sat in their half inviting Brighton into the center circle before confronting them. De zerbi spanked his arse.

Spurs get De Zerbi I’ll be a tad worried.

Not as worried as he would be. Likely to ruin his career. "Spursy" is a disease that has no known cure.

Same with Colwill rather than spunking £30m plus big wages on koulibaly

It was stupid then, it will be unforgivable now.

And same goes for Kovacic. Thankfully the era is almost over.

Arsenal losing today means Man City might just win the CL, which would be a shame.

Manager of the season, hands down.

As opposed to Gallagher coming on for an attacker in the 60th minute to protect a 1-0 lead at home against a relegation battling club.

The substitution was clever and brave as Arteta had hooked the ineffective Jorginho and Xakha on 60 minuted and De Zerbi immediately recognised that and took off Gilmour, who had done a great job linking defence to the forward line, to add an extra attacking option in Danny Welbeck.

That Brighton team today was well drilled, not one player was off the game plan, as long as they have one pass on offer to escape the press they hold the ball, sure it looks a bit dodgy at times, but the benefits can be huge, the way the system draws the opposition into the final third, then just a pass or two and Brighton are 4v3 in the Arsenal half. It really is exciting stuff they play.

Not winning the league title has very little to do with Jorginho. They couldn't beat the Saints and then lost against Man City, with or without Jorginho this Arsenal team was going to have a pretty hard end of the season... At some point their form was going to take a hit and at some point Man City was going to pick up in form as well.

When Jorginho joined Arsenal from Chelsea in January, Arsenal were five points clear at the top of the Premier League with a game in hand. 

That went well.

Annoyingly I can see him staying at Brighton and replacing Pep at City when the time comes. 
 

Everything always falls into place with those fraudsters.

Isn't that how they beat us as well? They always get to have a lot of space and they always get to have a quick attack going...

As great a tactician De Zerbi is, Brighton need to get recruitment right again as replacing McAllister, Caicedo, Levi etc is going to be a tough task. 

Still can’t see Pep calling it a day any time soon, De Zerbi’s gonna move and at some point his stock will drop (albeit most likely a club issue than a manager issue). Here’s hoping he goes back to Italy and develops the habit of lifting trophies on a regular basis, he’ll start to tick all the boxes for us if the Pochettino era ends up being unfruitful. On the other hand, the Premier League is where all the elite coaches wanna test themselves and he’s got a taste for it now…

Admittedly I was hoping Spurs had been successful in pursing Nagelsmann to avoid him going there.
