Magic Lamps

great tackle from jorginho on Fernandes who makes an absolute show of the dive when there was no contact. Fernandes is like one of those whiny little girls who always pretend to have some terminal illness just to get attention

could easiyl have scored here. the game plan is clear. azpi and RJ pumping crosses to Alonso and Giroud

we need to act way quicker when they produce turnovers. just too ponderous

I can’t see a lineup with no pace working for us here

We will likely get a minimal fee set by a tribunal

we also looked defensively solid, better than Arsenal today IMO, vs City when we could park the bus. It is way easier for the defenders to look like heros when there is another deefender behind you to cover when the ball gets past you. they lost vs Spurs, brighton and obviously when city spanked them just after the restart so we should all stay on the floor here. We have lost fewer games since the restart. Give us Emy Martinez as gk and i think we would not have lost vs Westham and maybe not vs SU

I have to say Arteta starts to worry me. He gets the tactics spot on 80% of the time. He also is very well educated and has experienced in these kinds of environments as pep's assistant damn mustafilooks injured. i hope he doesnotmiss the final lolhe could be our biggest goal threat

he also has the perfect age IMO late 20ies are the best age for a goalkeeper. Already experienced and still quick reactions. He also has no documented injury history

you are right. but how is this relevant to us? Spurs willl be motivated to lock down 7th at least. and arsenal could easily win this whilst them qualifying another way is unlikely, given they are 10th and out of el

Maybe we can put out a cheeky bid for him when leno comes back and is no. 1 again. A keeper like this deserves to be starting somewhere and we currently have the worst gk in the league

Those backs to the wall games suit David Luiz perfectly. When he can be proactive he is a decent defender. when he is under absolutely no pressure or specifically targetted with no one around him he fucks up.

haha loving it

abuameyang with the 2nd. great play by arse and nice composed finish

was a great freekick but martinez had it coverd. he is quick as a cat for such a big fella

Arsenal are parking the bus deeper than i have ever seen them. their furthes player forward is in the middle of their own half

which should light a fire under spurs ass to beat leicester tomorrow

Imagine us somehow winning vs Utd and then losing to Arse in the final -.-

i wish. but we all know how this one will end

you guys make it sound that we can choose between wining the FA Cup and gettign 4th. Even if we beat Utd in the semis which is improbable we still need to beat City in the final. And you guys know that Pep teams get in beast mode in finals. There is no chance of this happening. City have all their best players fit and wont make the mistake of playing false 9 in the final again. We should still try when we get there but tomorrow is just a semifinal. Rather exit there than in the final, so don't overcommit. If we by some stroke of luck beat Utd + the ref + VAR with a B-team we can still turn up for the final when everyone is fresh an rested.

Lol he is not smarter off the pitch than on it apparently

This is so weird. We were begging Atletico to take morata and costa off us when no one else would and they be like “yeah sure, here are 50m and another 400k per week just to make sure they join” costa even states that he only wants to go to Atletico and morata had ruined his rep still Atletico get bent over for wages. Something is fishy

Damn that’s fucked up. Even at clubs like Atletico which are not exactly bathing in cash the wage bills have exploded. Thank fuck no one from our players is close to that top 25. A salary cap may be a sensible idea after all

Isamila Sarr could be a nice back up winger instead of signing Benrahma. Sarr is probably the quickest player in the league, tall, strong and technically proficien ton top of that. A package we desperately need. I can see him improving upon his even momentarily not too shabby output. he could be an absolute menace coming from the bench. Other than that maybe Ben Foster as back up goalie. Cantwell is talented but i dont think he would be useful in our system at all. Graelish might be a "leader" on the pitch but he is a problem child off it with drink driving and all this shit. stay clear.

You got the order of games wrong. If we lose vs Liverpool and Utd and Leicester win their games they just play out a draw and we are out even if we win vs wolves. Why would Leicester risk it vs Utd when they can just safely make a ceasefire with them

schlupp is even worse than zaha
