Let's fucking go

Agree. I think this is the wrong move Estevao was pushing them back and had them so worried that Calafiori was taken off

Arteta has made a change taking off one of their carded platers

I think along with any change in midfield, would be good to bring Liam Delap on

Playing in his 2nd position

Exactly. Even with 10 men that was a very creditable end to the half.

Given as a yellow

Hope Caicedo is not injured here

Calafiori on a yellow thanks to James Should get Estevao 1 v 1 with him as much as possible

Matching up well against them

Even without them, they've assembled a better squad. Have to admit they are a level above regardless of the result tonight

Can hear a loud chorus of "Champions of Europe...You'll Never Sing That" from the home fans Bring on Arteta 6.0

City don't look like they'll challenge. Even if they've won here

Maresca says Dario Essugo trained this morning

Our boy Malang Sarr had a good game for Strasbourg vs Palace. Even Valentín Barco was good and is looking like a great backup for Cucurella next season.

The last two performances should have been wins. The 1-1 last season and the 2-2 under Poch.

Sanchez and Penders feels good to me next season.

Arsenal definitely are. Barca have been struggling to implement their high line effectively this season and Arsenal will be a much more mature, robust defense. We have an extra day to prepare though - and I wonder if starting Estevao is the way to go

Since Cole? The time Cole announced his arrival was pretty special too.

No doubt, he's made his share of mistakes - the game against United is the last one where he got things terribly wrong. But he seems to be getting a tune out of this squad despite dealing with a ton of injury problems. The decisions that went wrong are more on the board level than on the manager. He's been making a lot of changes but it could well be a directive from the medical team since players didn't get pre-season. Let's wait and see how Arsenal goes. Unlike Barca who were playing their high line, Arsenal will have a mature and solid defense.

Tough times for the Maresca out crowd.

Only the 3rd teenager to score in his first 3 CL games - Other two are Mbappe and Haaland

Great win and great to see everyone up for it
