    Dunno how many noticed that Guendouzi has been missing from the recent training footage. Rumours of Ozil and Matteo's fallout with Arteta is making news in France/Germany. Some outlets saying they are being made to train separately and that Matteo will look to force a move this summer - United and Inter have already expressed an interest.

    I know he splits opinions because he makes errors but persoanlly I think loosing Guendouzi would be an ever bigger mistake than selling Gnabry.

    His contract is up in 2022 so we need to make a decision on him, we need to either reintergrate him into the squad get him signed up or sell him abroad.

    Still never seen Guendouzi have a good game where I've been able to see what the fuss is about. Gnabry you could see flashes of his excellent attacking play. Guendouzi can do one. He also seems a complete tit, a bit like Wilshere.

    Honestly I dont know how some fans cant see it. He's shown WAY more than Gnabry ever did for us.
    He does soo many good things. Carries the ball forward, Intercepts, tackles, never stops running. Natural leader - He's Class.

    Great performance against a really good Wolves side.

    Beautiful finish by Saka - kid is class.
    Nketiah was busy and caused alot of problems.
    Actually thought Luiz was decent today - great distribution.

    Mustafi was the only dodgy performance today but even he wasnt too bad.

    All those things were used to describe Wilshere and Denilson too.

    Wilshere yeah - and he did have top potential. Denilson I just remeber sideways passes and infuriation.

    Nice that we get one of our best wins of the Season and all you have to say is something negative about one of players. Great support as always Cini.

    Has Saka ever used his right foot so much before?

    Thought we were oustanding in the first half.

    That was never a red card, a booking yes.

    VAR is ****ish, and how long did that decision take - it changed the outcome when we went down to 10 men

    How was it not a red? High, studs into his knee. Clear red card.

    Disappointing. Honestly think that first half was our best 45mins this Season. Just needed to be more clinical.

    I think Arteta got his subs wrong and we got unlucky with Nketiah getting sent off. Oh well.

    I can see the Nketiah challenge being a red, but I thought Vardy was offside for the last goal. IMO Perez touches the ball, and at that point vardy is offside.

    I thought he was marginally off when ball first played in, then slightly more off when Perez touched it. Benefit to attacker and all that though so fair enough.

    The problem is the refs are poor I'm not going to blame VAR In its self, if Eddie gets sent off for dangerous play then surely vardy has to go also.

    I was using the same logic that Vardy didn’t even get booked for studs in face of Mustafi.
