This is random but Raya really doesn’t scare us as much as he did when he first signed, huh? Even with how he’s coming out well outside the box today, not had anything that makes me think “oh god he’s gonna give the goal away”.
Mikel Merino take a fucking bow
Holy shit, what is happening?! Merino is a secret goal machine? Subscribe!!
Remember when the Newcastle fans were saying he’s absolute shite? Nah, he was just stuck playing for them.
Let’s get him a third?
ARTETA IS A GENIUS WE HAVE OUR FELLANI
MIKEL MERINOOOOO
Leicester: Mum, can we get Phil Foden?
Mum: No, we have Phil Foden at home.
The Phil Foden At Home = Bilal El Khannouss
Remember how people were complaining about Merino as a signing well not anymore they aren’t XD
Tierney LW, here we gooooooo
Fucking Merinooooooooooo!
MERINOOOOOOOOOO
Fucking Nwaneri! Thank you!
Nwaneri with that perfect ball in! Merino was the change we needed. Let’s fucking go!
Lewis-Skelly you are keeping this game watchable.
Too bad he had to make way for our deep-lying striker.
what can you do man
Sterling at Arsenal just hasn’t worked. No hate for the guy but that’s the reality.
Least it’s better than if we hadn’t signed him at all, I guess, imagine if we had 2 attackers lol
Yeah, knowing our luck that will happen soon 😭
