The team's performance lacked a sense of urgency, particularly given that its a final, our first in several years. The team played like it was another league game. Also substitutions should have been made earlier.
I am very disappointed with the team's performance. While I understand the decision to start Kepa, his performance was not up to par which is why he is our no. 2. Trossard also poor today. Our attack, which has been a recurring issue throughout the season, continues to be a significant weakness.
We need to bring trossard off, nelli on. Trossard has been off all game.
Very poor from kepa,
STATEMENT MADE.
I hate to say this because of the quality of service over the years, but Arsenal can't persist with starting Beth Mead.
Pace and agility disrupt back lines, and Olivia Smith has both attributes in abundance.
They brought the advertising boards closer to the pitch to restrict us from the long trows. If we did that at the Emirates everyone would call us cheats.
October has been a great month.
I can't wait for the WSL season to start...we are gonna be on fire. Love Chole Kelly and ageyemang, so young but has been a super sub.
Yeah, not buying anyone in January was poor, but that summer transfer window was pretty awful, too. Merino was the only good signing we made all summer.
I'm nervous, too 😬
This Lyon team feels different from the Lyon team we played at home last week. I anticipated a challenging match today, but our dominance and clinical play have been impressive.
Are we heading to the final. Lyon 0 Arsenal 2 (2-4). The team are looking great and controlling this game well. #Arsenal
Fight of the year. Very entertaining. #BenvEubank
Rice has been fantastic. Skelly has been so composed. Kiwior has been solid. Madrid thought we would fold, but we have been brilliant all, be it with some nervous moments. I love my club. #COYG
Rice now misses the next match. Saka should have put that penalty away and not time to try something new.
Wtf....that is not a penalty.
Great performance tonight. We can take it easy in the 2nd leg next week. #COYG
Before this game I was worried about where the goals would come from... I eat my words! 😄
Rice has been amazing this first half, and the Hale End kids have been fantastic as usual. My only gripe, and it's not just about this game, is our disciplinary record this season is slightly worrying. Right call taking off MLS, but Partey really should know better. More goals, please! #Gunners
Has that City game taken too much out of the squad they all look tired. We just don't have the depth in the squad to compete in multiple competitions. Yes, we are unlucky with injuries, but we should have been prepared. Its a shame as the win on the weekend gave us such a high.
We are so off today.
That is absolutely ridiculous. If this is true, the premier league have lost their mind. Why do they hate Arsenal so much. Arteta has them soo rattled (the league & pgmol) they will create new laws just to stop arsenal winning or enjoying ourselves.
Stay humble Eh....#COYG
Great result. The teenagers once again were amazing.
A win is a win, but that was a weird game. Nwaneri was fantastic as always. The team needs to head to Dubai for a break. #COYG
