Going to say this. Jealous he plays for city. He's sooo good and has single handedly beaten arsenal twice when it counted. So now I hate him forever...

And he was just coming back from another injury and touched it out for 90 minutes.

Yup. Mikel has zero choice and hope he knows it.

I do think we win out. The issue is that we need to do it convincingly now. Sadly we have zero safety net and zero control on title. City beating CP isn't a given and injuries still can happen for them. We just need Saka and Timber at any capacity available. Even for 30-45 minutes a game

Momentum. They beat Liverpool and Chelsea by big margins. Beat arsenal twice. Only arsenal is able to hold them back..there other teams crumble and give up goals in chunk. They're finding their groove in attack and defense sadly. And we're heading opposite direction.

What happened here? Didn't get to watch until the end

Nah we win last 5 were Good. Tough to see with zero momentum. But we need to score goals. Arteta has no choice but go all out attack every single game to regain GD advantage.

We need Saka back to have a chance if winning by couple goals a few times. GD is now in City favor.they shown they can beat all others by 3+ goals

I think we do bc Arteta is now forced to go for goals anticipating City wins everything. He literally has to win all games by couple goals or have big wins to have a chance. He lost all his safety net in two weeks. Let's see how he approaches it.

City can beat teams by 2+ goals esp at home. They need to drop points now bc our GD advantage is gone

Issue is out fullbacks really cannot advance the ball confidently. Why Timber and Cala is a big miss. City happy for them to get it when we're in possession.

I would kike to see if his lineup rest of the season to finish dying. Esp if saka is out

That's the best we have for now esp given situation. I like saving Gyokeres and Martinelli as finishers..as starting Gyokeres against City right now feels like wasting 45+ minutes of chasing balls . Against tired defense hopefully he'll take charge last half hour. Two game changers if needed

Better than I expected. Secure at the back and spine. Enough technical and creative players to find chances or goals

Martinelli And Gyokeres as finushers in this game even great if we're behind a goal. Start with technical ability and withstand some pressure up front. Keep Gyokeres fresh for last 30-35 minutes I say

The boys will show up today. Our performance will be good for this occasion. Whether we get a result is what worries me...refs and bad luck and all. I still believe in the title tho

Whoever beats City will take that spot. Chelsea lost their chance last week. I take Bournemouth winning

Seems like the Strait of Hormuz is only open when the stock market is.

We rarely give up 3 goals in last 2.5 seasons. It'll be game of low margins. City likely to win by 1 goal but want to see Arteta come out try win it. A draw is only good if we come from behind and being outplayed

4 starters and 1 super sub out. Such bad luck man..swear our club is cursed in spring time.

Athleti up next. Simeone is master at devising plan to stop the best attacks. But the joke is on him once he sees Arsenals current attack. Uncharted territory. advantage Arsenal! Let's go

Our defense is elite. Consider that they often have the pressure for full 90, minutes bc we can't score more.. than 1 goal anymore. Defense hasn't had a comfortable game to work with in months..maybe spurs match

Klopp and Liverpool actually did everything right as a club only for Pep and City cheat them out of a dominant era.

I am sure a lot of people who care more about being down on Arsenal will deride this tie as insufficient, unimpressive, underwhelming.

But in our state, with our injuries, in the context of recent struggles, reaching the CL semis is a massively impressive accomplishment.

Kudos to the entire team.

I thought Arteta managed that game really well with the players he had available and their fitness. Tried to win the game with the sprinters. When that wasn’t working, brought on the possession guys and completely killed the game. Done, and on we go.

As a Hokie and Gooner I approve this post...

I do not trust this rally or breakout to ATH. EVEN the volume is telling. Will wait here for retest. But like last year, this thing can just grind up after crazy V recovery. Nothing makes sense anymore. Am up bc of V recovery so will look to hedge here again.

We rarely even win the 2nd ball when we go long to him. Kai gets us at least a 50/50 we get possession on second balls. Why I think Gyokeres has to be a finisher rather than. Starter.

Jesus + Kai adds ability to control possession with some technical comfort. In the end even the passing to kill time was great to see and rather comfortable. We looked dominant once we had technical skills on pitch

Correct. I mean this whole Martinelli+Gyokeres -Noni attack never works bc theyre all speed. We need a balance like what you shared.
