A 3-1 loss would be better than a 3-0 regardless. Make them at least really, really try next game vs. Madrid.
What we did learn yesterday and today is that generally, winning away in knock-out CL games is really hard. Only Bayern so far.
Max, MLS, Kai, Mosquera (for Timber).
Team has been shit. Manager way too reluctant. Should have subbed someone way earlier.
Also, if you are tired, it helps to keep the ball once in a while.
In good positions too. Very weird. Just totally off it.
Timber does nothing to help Saka. So isolated.
Can’t keep the fucking ball. Play MLS and Kai.
Going to say it. I think we’ve been shit for this whole game and you saw that coming from a mile away. Our fullbacks have been terrible, Zubi has been non existent and our wings have been poor.
The central areas in this game scream Myles Lewis-Skelly.
Don’t love our full back positions.
Dobson gave the ball away cheaply for 2-2 and gets a red soon after. What an idiot. Also was very tired, should have been subbed.
If he plays Guiu in after the first dribble it’s a massive Chelsea chance but he goes on and on and on and shoots from a very dubious position and it’s just… nothing.
We make everything so difficult.
That’s a really strange lineup. I am sort of intrigued.
Ajax actually wanted him around two years ago I think but he declined. Which seems to have turned out pretty well because they are in turmoil.
Everton away, I think. The penalty.
I think he’s just incredibly tired honestly. Not at 100%. That’s when you usually make (mental) mistakes.
I love Mosquera by the way. He is an excellent player. Young, sometimes has a mistake in him, but you can generally trust him to do the right thing. I like him on the ball.
Credit to the team. Couldn’t have been easy up to this game and they’ve done well. Onwards!
Good for our overall goal difference too. Could be important in the long run.
I just said his overall play has been great and then he scores what is probably his best goal for me in an Arsenal shirt.
Gyokeres’ overall play has been pretty good in this game.
Saka seems in decent condition going off. Not perfect, of course, but nothing major.
I think he’s just absolutely spent.
So happyyyy
They are both spent. And not compatible to each other. Don’t get why MLS isn’t playing.
Hincapié and Timber offer nothing. I’d sub Trossard for Odegaard if he’s fit. Put Eze on the left.
Saka has to do more in the 1v1. He is getting opportunities.
