    Lego head will be feeling pressure from now to the end of the season. I think he made a mistake not picking up a striker last summer.

    They've needed a proper top class striker since they got rid of Aubameyang (which was the right thing to do) and have failed to do so for some strange reason, instead picking up other clubs castoffs in Jesus, Havertz and Sterling and trying to shoehorn them into the roles. I know, they haven't really done that with Sterling but I included him as his signing was indicative of Arsenal's strange business when signing forwards.

    If it is correct that the match ball flies differently to the league ball, then he knows this and didn't a) inform his players and b) didn't adjust his tactics, whereas EH and our team did the right thing and played better with the available ball than they did, leaving the "little mouse" with a good excuse to use.

    Its all marketing and sponsorship - Carabao uses Puma, EPL Nike.
    Btw, Champions League is Adidas - imagine the headache this poor bloke has adjusting the tactics each week
