"I don't always want to be known as a club that is nice. In certain moments you need to be quite resilient in personal duels. There are different ways of being resilient, of using a block, different techniques to win one-v-one duels - especially at set-pieces."
"He's incredible. He makes great saves and is also indispensable with his footwork. He's an amazing guy; I consider him one of my best friends," emphasised the midfielder.
Nottingham Forest took a commanding step toward the Europa League last-16 with a 3-0 first-leg vwin over Fenerbahce in Istanbul, delivering a composed and clinical performance in Vitor Pereira's first match in charge. In a hostile atmosphere at the Sukru Saracoglu Stadium, Forest settled immediately and controlled possession from the opening minutes. Their early pressure forced Milan Skriniar into a booking for bringing down Callum Hudson-Odoi, and the visitors continued to probe, with Omari Hutchinson and Morgan Gibbs-White heavily involved between the lines.
Arsenal have scored 19 goals from corners in all competitions this season. Much of the credit for that goes to their primary corner takers, Declan Rice and Bukayo Saka. Taking corners from the left with his right foot, Rice has created eight goals, compared with five from Saka, who offers left-foot deliveries from the right. The vast majority of Arsenal's corners (81%) are in-swinging, and statistically more likely to lead to a goal than out-swinging deliveries.
Moi is an outstanding player, a world-class midfield player. I don't know how many headers he has scored in his career, but we are always a threat on set-plays.

Arsenal look to gain advantage over Premier League rivals
Gabriel Martinelli ended Arsenal's last game as public enemy No 1 with Liverpool fans and Gary Neville after his clash with Conor Bradley on Thursday. But it was the Brazilian who was their saviour against Portsmouth after the Championship side had briefly threatened to record their first win over the Premier League leaders in 23 attempts after Colby Bishop's early strike.
No, not for this game [Newcastle], they are recovering. I don't think it will take a lot of time, I think Kobbie will return faster than Bruno.
With Jashari playing as the deep-sitting midfield, he operated between the central centre-back and the left centre-back, allowing Tomori to push up as a quasi right-back to try and target Spinazzola. Napoli used a central overload with McTominay sitting back to create a 3+2 build-up structure. This drew Milan's front two and the midfield three, allowing space between Milan's front two lines and the last line of defence.
