Granit Xhaka

We did it in the Carabao Cup and got pumped 3-1 by West Ham

It wasnā€™t even a full rotation at the time.

Zinny was still a starter for us. Jorginho and Nketiah were on a run of games.
The players that we rotated in were Nelson, Trossard, Kiwior, Vieira and Ramsdale.
Five players it took and shit hit the fan. :rofl:

That was the last time in the season we rotated that much domestically.
Biggest rotation after that was against Luton when we brought in Partey, Emile and Nelson. And Luton were missing half the team and had one fit defender.
We won that game 2-0.

The real Invincibles are never getting battered 3-0 by a bootleg American city.

Get back here and answer for your heresy immediately, or face exile from this fine forum.

I donā€™t think an argument has aged so poorly in here in such a short time.

Wtf is Atalanta even playing in the UEFA league if theyā€™re American? I thought they were an Italian team :thinking:

There was a big ā€œifā€ in the argument lol

If they pulled it off Iā€™d die on the hill but they didnā€™t. No harm no no foul

I am impressed by Leverkusen but I donā€™t find it to be better than Arsenal Invincibles.
The sides Leverkusen has faced are 80% all average to poor sides.

If you give the same level of opponents to that Arsenal side, they would be unbeaten in all competition as well.

It was supposed to be a crossover game for worldwide engagement with these guys:

But their flight got cancelled so they sent some Italian farmers instead.

Yeah I know mate, just shitposting for the bants rather than trying to actually argue with you :slightly_smiling_face:

Yeah theyā€™re not Arsenal 03/04 level but Iā€™m with @sevchenko here, the disrespect is oot. What they have achieved is absolutely fantastic, it is tremendously rare to do what they have done.

And to play down Bayern that beat us, the stellar 23/24 edition Arsenal and lost to Real over two games by one goal is just silly, it just makes you sound jelly.

A terrific Atalanta were the first team to beat them all comps since May last year, they went 51 games unbeaten which might be the longest unbeaten run in modern European football history.

Imo just give them their 15 mins of fame, they have earned it :xhaka2:

Wirtz just scored the winner in the 101st minute

Insanity. The cardiologists in Leverkusen must be working overtime.

Granitā€™s strike was magnificent. Against his former team too.

Check out these angles. Roberto Carlos stuff.

No real stand out from this list, but I think they should give it to Kroos because of his performance over the years.
Super consistent on high level.
