Enrique and PSG bottling what should of been a guaranteed shoe in tie to get to the CL final. Yeah they’ve hit the post 4 times over 2 legs but they should be steamrolling Dortmund with that side.

Yeah forgot him as well. Just looking at stockpiling again, same thing the Abramovich regime was heavily criticised for. Multi club model isn’t looking like something that will happen/survive longterm given UEFA wanting to come down hard on it. So seems pointless. Ramsdale probably is on paper but I get the feeling he is like Kepa. His confidence took a huge knock in the run in last season when Arsenal ultimately blew the title. Now he doesn’t get a look ahead of Raya who isn’t particularly much better either in terms of shotstopping.

Only thing with that is also if he isn’t ready then again, it’s back to square 1. Petrovic and Sanchez aren’t anywhere near good enough either. Sanchez maybe be a reasonable number 2 given his HG status but he is the best of the 2 of them and that is a problem in its own right. Unless Kepa is coming back but again, not the best.

Are Cole, Noni and Angelo not young left footed right wingers though? I get Cole has played centrally also but surely a left winger is more a priority given Mudryk’s genuine lack of ability and Sterling struggling here. Fuck knows though, this recruitment team and strategy has been very erratic. Probably buy 2 more GKs in the summer also. Which again is probably needed given how average the ones we signed were. And be another summer with no deal for a proper first choice CF or CB I bet.

Cucu must of read all of the comments about how Maatsen should be playing in his place 😂 Looked very confident. He has always got that aggressiveness and willingness to get really close to his man tonight. Caicedo looks more assured without Enzo next to him. Don’t know why but just does. Poch talking about both phases of the game with Sky in his post match, with the ball and without the ball and also going on about competitiveness. The competitiveness without the ball side has been a huge issue this season - I am glad he is talking about it.

Chilwell has struggled for fitness. But so has Reece James on the otherside also. Two of our best players missing on a regular basis. Maybe Tammy would be useful as a number 2. But thats it. Which is why he left here because he didn’t want to be a number 2. Now he’d maybe play every week but not the level of player you want as a number 1 if your looking to be ultra competitive. But people banging on about Maatsen as if he’s much better than Ben and Cucu are dreaming. Even tonight Cucurella tonight showed he can play very well at a high level. I mean needs to do it consistently though absolutely. Price tag is what it is. Sure and when him and Reece were absolutely flying for us under Tuchel you probably said he was the best left back on the planet….. Maybe. I do think if he was as good as people make out though Poch would have used him much much more than he did. And in his actual position. Particularly given the fact Ben’s struggled with injury/form all season and Cucurella has been inconsistent since arriving.

Because we were going to sell him for FFP due to fact he would be pure profit.

Has been very bad all season though. Hopefully improves next season. Can say that about 4/5ths of the squad though.

This is the sort of game we need every week. Against a team who will dominate the ball and we can just try to pick them off on transition.

Sure Maatsen who has never actually played properly in the PL shits on Chilwell who over the past 5 seasons has probably been one of the best fullbacks in the PL. He hasn’t got a future here and in 2 or 3 seasons I don’t expect anyone to give a shit when he hits Tammy Abraham levels of decent career but not elite level. Because thats where he will be. Mudryk is awful most players in his position could be named are better than him. Only signed him because Arsenal wanted him - nothing will change my mind on that. Given how Poch has played virtually everyone, including players who have struggled immensely for consistency and performances, the likes of him, Washington and a few others haven’t. I really think that speaks volumes about how good he actually is, or isn’t. Don’t get me wrong, a CL run with Dortmund means more £ for us and that is ultimately why we will be selling him. He has basically no chance of being involved here given he couldn’t make any real inroads in the first half of the season with Poch and we desperately need to raise funds.

Suppose people will be saying we should recall him for first 11 and sign Sancho in the summer if Dortmund score finishes this way 🙄

Probably a good thing. Not having to listen to their great ideas. Also pretty sure it was confirmed Amorin was in London for WHU talks? If its true he wants £10m a year salary (turned Liverpool off him), he won’t be coming here anyway.

Grealish? Really? Another winger who rarely shows up and lacks consistency. Simon Phillips must be on crack

City still have the experience/knowhow and will have the bit between their teeth now. Arsenal have never ever done it when the pressures on and it really matters hence why they bottled it last season. Get the feeling it will be too little too late this season, the Villa result was huge. Also the draw with City really they probably had to win that to give them the upperhand.

City wont drop points though. Arsenal have thrown it away 2 years in a row really. And this is arguably the best team they’ve had since the Invincibles yet they have won nothing major. Rice been an unbelievable signing though, can’t believe people thought Caicedo and Enzo were better value for £100m plus, he shits all over them so much.

Spurs hard done with at 1-0 as performance was good at probably should of has a goal for 1-1 but Arsenal showing how ruthless they are. They have been brilliant at set plays all season.

Surely onside. Can’t give offside for that, Gabriels arse playing him onside. Ok nvm. Jesus christ can’t of been much in that….

Still think its a foul. Would be wanting a foul for us if it were roles reversed so probably correct call.

Probably be disallowed. Looked a foul to be fair.

Lucky as fuck. Prolongs Poch’s time and the whole project mentality thing I suppose, which isn’t good.

Another guy who had maybe 3 good games including a few saved in a penalty shoot out IIRC and was our best GK by a mile and now this. Sanchez is poor but he saves both those goals at his near post with ease. 100%.

Mudryk. £88m. People repeatedly said he would come good too for about 6 months straight. Hopeless. 🤣 2-0 game more or less over

Somehow finished that after nearly bottling it with his first touch 😂 offside though yeah typical now wait and see he will get a sitter and miss now.

Chalobah clueless there. Nowhere near close enough or switched on enough to see where the play is going for that cutback. I can’t believe its 2024 and our first choice wingers are Madueke and Mudryk.

Not confident at all. Same sort of effort shown vs Arsenal particularly second half and we get pumped again.
