I won’t read anything into it. I don’t expect us to get past either of the Madrid teams. But a refreshing blowout win is always welcome and whilst I don’t know how much, getting to the next stage of the CL = a bit more money. We can also rest our best players in the return leg.
I did say previously we had to think outside the box when Kai was injured. The two candidates I put forward were Merino (started well but jury now out) and Calafiori
I need our owners to give Arteta the attackers we need. All we are missing is x factor. Saka and now Nwaneri the providers. We need more. If we get them, and he fails, he will need to go. But not before we are sure he can't do it when he has been one of the only few managers in history to hit the 89 points mark in the history of the PL.
He doesn't want attackers? Meanwhile, targets we haven't signed, Raphinha, Vlahovic, Mudryk that didn't join us. Even Sesko last summer and Watkins this January when we needed X factor. He didn't choose Sterling.
We already had Eddie, Saka, Martinelli, ESR, and Riess in the past few years, which is why you saw less spent in forward areas.
“We needed more last summer than a 70m spent total. He has made mistakes but he isn't the one that missed out on Mudryk, Raphinha and Vlahovic. “
Thank God we didn’t buy Mudryk or Vlahovic!
Jeez dude … isn’t the 30-35 mill wasted on Viera that should’ve gone to Kudus been enough of a lesson for ya? This same team spent almost 200 mill for Arteta on two players (Rice and Havertz)
One has been a home run and the other a major question mark … please the ownership has gone above and beyond for Mikel … they are not the ones who let Emi go and kept Leno and have spent almost 70 mill on replacements … they are not the ones beasting players and having hamstrings snap like twigs … they are not the ones playing a scrub like Sterling instead of giving Hale Enders a chance … could go on and on but I also understand that this is his first job and he has done a great job but he ain’t without major flaws
The goals Calafiori has scored are just incredible … You would get off your seat if a striker tucked those away … highly technical and struck with such effortless confidence
Ricky Calafiori take a bow.

Baller!!!
Great game, end of....
However, will Mikel learn from the rest bit, and play many of the Hale Enders in the return leg as he should?
Oh, and bring on madrid.
Still salty about them giving that ballon d'Or to Pavel Nedved instead of Henry- cheating c**ts
Totally unexpected result lol

All in a great result
It means that we won't be disgraced and we can only hope
good game, good win. we can fully concentrate on utd and chelsea now to make sure we aren‘t in the top4 race
ref was terrible - ode is a pen, mls is a def second booking and at least 3 obvious corners not given. shocking honestly
That Julian Alvarez goal for Atleti
ooof
I wish we bought him
Has anyone seen raptora lately
Calafiori is a winger- should be playing ahead of MLS in LB until the season is done.
Cala as winger
MLS as left back
He’d be a perfect false nine

Incredible game - enjoy when these things happen
Trossard and Martinelli will likely have to step aside for Nwaneri when Saka returns.

Mud hut Habesha with another smooth brained take.
🥱🥱🥱
Dude. He’s the one who wants defenders, midfielders and can’t make up his mind on a keeper. The only attacker he brought in was Sterling … ‘Nough said
What tosh. Arteta picks the signings. He chose merino. He chose Calafiori. He chose Sterling
Hab
They assign money for transfer and he has a big say in what the club buys.
Areta needs help..from his worst instincts
No one is "giving" him attackers- he needs to choose to buy them.
He doesn't want attackers? Meanwhile, targets we haven't signed, Raphinha, Vlahovic, Mudryk that didn't join us. Even Sesko last summer and Watkins this January when we needed X factor. He didn't choose Sterling.

Please stop with this absolute nonsense. Give him attackers...how about he buys them himself. Unless you think Josh or Stan picks the signings.
We needed more last summer than a 70m spent total. He has made mistakes but he isn't the one that missed out on Mudryk, Raphinha and Vlahovic.
He had to make do in the past with Riess, Eddie and even injury prone ESR.
If he doesn't buy atleast two forwards next summer, I will give in to your opinion of him not wanting forwards.
Wait? Huh?
“We needed more last summer than a 70m spent total. He has made mistakes but he isn't the one that missed out on Mudryk, Raphinha and Vlahovic. “

But he's the one that bought Merino and cala when he could have bought a striker
Get the F in what a cracker, give me Real Madrid all day every day.
The goals Calafiori has scored are just incredible … You would get off your seat if a striker tucked those away … highly technical and struck with such effortless confidence
Pure Baller!!!
Hope you had a good time in Brazil
What a country … can’t wait to go back …
Mexico in May
I’m rooting for Athletico … want no part of Real Madrid
People are calling Calafiori Fillipo Inzaghi on twitter. Can't blame them lol.
