Arsenal 3 1 Bayern Munich UCL post match chat

I liked the dark humor where they were jealous of the Rice and Zubimendi partnership, that pairing got a lot of love.
 
Set piece coach got legend talk too, a user literally said they should build him a statue because every routine looks rehearsed to death.
 
From the Bayern side they accepted that with their current bench they cannot match subs like Martinelli, Madueke and Odegaard coming on at 3 1.
 
Big theme was depth, Arsenal fans could not believe they were closing out games by bringing on White and Odegaard while still missing multiple strikers.
 
The phrase Squad Depth FC appeared a few times which tells you how different this version of Arsenal feels compared to earlier seasons.
 
Betting wise that depth makes live markets tricky, several fans said they never feel nervous at half time anymore because they trust the second half.
 
There were also plenty of reminders that last year PSG started in chaos and still won the competition, so it is way too early to crown anyone.
 
I liked the guy who said the important part is staying good from March onwards, hinting at Liverpool failing late against PSG.
 
Injury talk came back constantly, people worried about the so called red zone for Timber, Rice and Zubimendi and another player going down every match.
 
One user said injuries are the real weakness and called it a revolving door all season, only made possible by summer reinforcements.
 
Calafiori hype was massive, fans calling him Chaos Calafiori and saying he is at least top three left backs on current form.
 
Timber also got constant 8 out of 10 talk, people said he and Rice never drop below that level and it shows every big night.
 
The Rice stamina memes were constant, marathons on rest days and running like a horse, they clearly see him as a cheat code.
 
Comments about eleven Rices beating any other eleven players were exaggerated but show how much faith the fanbase has in him.
 
Someone joked that West Ham actually got robbed at 100 million, which is quite something when you look at that fee.
 
Plenty of people roasted earlier takes from other places that said only Van Dijk was a success among expensive signings and jury was still out on Rice.
 
I noticed a few comments saying Arsenal look better with no recognised number nine, more fluid and harder to press.
 
Merino false nine talk was interesting, they called him an inverted nine who plays the role like a midfielder and does a lot of dirty work.
 
The fans also pointed out he presses passing lanes really well, constantly blocking routes and freeing others to step up.
