He had a great game today. A great foil for Haaland

Cherki is one month older than Oscar Bobb, let that sink in. He is a great talent, raw talent that need coaching or he will always be that player who has 1 amazing game in 5. If he can learn to do the simple things at the right time and use his genius at the right time, we have an absolute diamond on our hands.

He certainly has personality, that for sure.

Heard the same from his time in France. Undoubtedly talented, but needs to learn when to try the flicks and it's definitely not in out own half. Loved him celebrating when he released Haaland even before he put it away - he's some talent and will bring out the best in Foden and the viking

Top post PP mate, have a great Christmas.

Pep's moulding him into a brilliant player and not trying to restrict him. If you disagree with me you're angry and you don't enjoy life.

We need to decide who's the leader of the angry pack, you or Car?

So, whats the verdict on his piss taking yesterday?

Personally thought it was funny as fuck, even to the point of laughing out loud at the time, then explaining the to Mrs that he was very likely to get twatted in the next tackle and watch it play out exactly like that.

From a tactical point of view, getting an Arsenal defender to react and take a card was brilliant shithousery, and shows just how far Arsenal are from having an elite mentality to stay disciplined in those moments. If they can be goaded so easily, it doesn't bode well for them in the run in

That's cherki isn't it. A bit of a maverick and loves to showboat, even better it was that twat White that got seriously wound up by him.

As a piss take it was superb and and that stage in the game it reflected just how dominant we were. I did think it was a bit early though, we had 30 mins left. Most of us knew he was going to get clattered for it. Turned out ok as the gayboy got a yellow and was then hooked early.
I can understand Pep being annoyed but Cherki's performance would lessen the handslap.

Football needs characters and something out of the norm. Otherwise it becomes sterile and sanitised and boring.
