Arsenal

It’s also tough missing our best player in Saka and our best two full backs. I’m not convinced Eze coming off was the right call. Would rather have seen Zubimendi off and Rice going deeper. 

2-1 against City in isolation is probably not too bad, and given the last few weeks on poor performances it could be seen as an improvement, but in terms of the league, which we literally must win, we are only 1 point ahead of City and they have the game in hand - we come second even if we and they win all their gams to come! To win the league they have to drop points and we cannot afford to.

I’ve got good news and bad news for you mate. Good news is we are 3 points ahead, not 1. Bad news is it’ll likely not be enough.

I live in hope.

We managed to put up more of a fight than I’d expected. Kind of like one of those Wenger “proud of the performance” days after going out of the CL.  But the league is over now.

 

What a difference it would have made if that Eze shot had gone in. The only player we have who can make something like that out of nothing. Such a shame we haven’t had him and Odegaard on the pitch together most of the season. And perhaps if we had a striker instead of Havertz.

 

CL feels unlikely but it’s 3 knockout games so if you can manage to not concede, and can keep Odegaard and Eze fit and playing you never know. 

lol, completely misread the table in my annoyance at our position.
