Did OK for England

Come now, we all know international football is a different beast. His main attribute is he's direct. He's not developed any (consistent) end product yet. He can't pass and he can't shoot.
 
I think Gyokeres will finish with reasonable numbers by way of scoring some tap-ins, but I really don't think he has the quality needed to take them up a level. He's worse than I thought.

What Arsenal have done is become far less reliant on Saka and Odegaard, which, given their injury record, was sensible. Madueke has made a flying start, and even Martinelli is finding the net, but I still think Arteta's conservative nature, and acting like a pent-up, weird gimp, does them no favours

Arsenal are sweating on Noni Madueke’s fitness after the winger went off with a knee injury against Manchester City on Sunday. Madueke is set to undergo tests on Monday and it is hoped that the damage will not be severe enough to require a lengthy lay-off.

Arsenal have already lost Kai Havertz to a knee injury and were without Martin Ødegaard against City because of a shoulder injury. Bukayo Saka was also out for a month with a hamstring injury.

Madueke, who signed from Chelsea for £48.5m in the summer, was able to slot in on the right flank while Saka was out. Arsenal have added depth in attack after struggling with injuries last season but Arteta’s resources are already being tested. Saka made his return as a half-time substitute during the 1-1 draw with City, replacing Madueke. Arteta delivered an update after the game and said that Madueke “had an issue very early in the match and he wasn’t well enough to continue”.

Losing the 23-year-old for a lengthy period would put a sizeable dent in Arsenal’s title hopes. Madueke has made a fine start since joining from Chelsea and he impressed for England during the last international break, scoring in the national team’s 5-0 win over Serbia earlier this month.There is early optimism at Arsenal that he will make a swift return.

They got themselves their own Ricky Lambert while we got two top strikers, one being world class. I don’t see them as rivals, I think City will be the one that pushes us.
 
If Man Utd become good again, what are these Tube's going to do with themselves?

The click bait premise is Utd are shit and fans of other clubs enjoy a good laugh at their expense. If that disappears so does the appeal and reason for their existence.

Do they go all Binomial and rage over the small things? Do they go to Utd fans of old and be the gloaty, worst winners in the world whilst laughing at other clubs misfortunes?

Probably the hardest of them all, find a way to celebrate their successes and still stay relevant to the wider football fan base?

Or just go and get a proper job?
