Jorginho

No, the best I've ever had was Mia Harm on day one.

Somebody backed Jorginho, didn't they, on the Discord, which was, again, fantastic.

I've not managed to pack an icon early on since Mia Harm.

That was the best ever.

Like, it's...

And I, I'll be fascinated, and he won't tell us, I'm sure, but how much is he going to change for the game on T- on Tuesday? Is Ben Gannon, G- Go- Ben Gannon and Doak gonna start? Is he gonna freshen it up a bit? Does he, does he see, does he see it imperative to, to give nearly everybody or most of the players in his, in this squad a, a run, or outfield players a run? And how much risk is involved in doing that? Like, I'm talking about MacPake and, and these guys.

Did they get a shot against Switzerland? Uh, it's so many question, because there's so many new players, therefore there's so many questions.

Yeah, I, well, I, I thought the change in the second half looked to me as if...

I thought in the first half it, it was very much two strikers, a 3-5-2.

I thought John McGinn was trying to pull off a wee bit wider, and I thought he didn't play close enough to the two strikers.

Whereas in the second half, I thought it was, it looked as if it was almost a box midfield in there with Ollie McBurnie and John McGinn playing as almost pocket players behind Robbie Ewers.

Now, if you're gonna try and replicate that on Tuesday, it'll be interesting to see if he sticks with one striker for the starting 11, or he continues to put Ollie McBurnie in that position, 'cause we did say we thought he played very well in that second half.

Then you're all going to say, James...

they don't do things in January they don't like we we are not a club that complete the job we're not a club that look at what was left from the summer and tend to pick it back up in January and move seriously in that window to which I'll then say well how about a Bamiyang 60 million pounds we did that only a few months after getting Lacazette you'll then say to me James that was almost a decade ago and it was two managers ago we're not going to do that now To which I'll then throw you Kivial, Jorginho and Trossard in the January of 2023.

Now listen, I'm not genuinely trying to dispute or dismiss people's concerns about whether Arsenal do something in January.

What I'm trying to tell you is, Arsenal have shown that they can, they are sometimes willing to do big business in January.

But we landed where we have as a group.

I think we've held some power over Jorginho.

I think he is-- I still think there's another layer for him to go, Andrew, particularly when it comes to attack.

Mm-hmm.

doesn't it? Something never changed, did I?

Can we just talk about Jorginho for a second? Because, I mean, obviously, it was a brief cameo from him.

And he was looking like he was getting back to his best, naturally.

And he's one of the guys that really looked amazing in that kit.

And now there are more talking about how we did it, why we did it, et cetera, et cetera.

And I think we haven't really talked much about the the makeup of the side because there's still so many injuries.

And how many of that starting 11 are actually going to be there when, you know, Minte to come back, Matoma to come back, Jorginho is coming back to fitness.

It's absolutely remarkable.
