Watching the intensity of the match, especially in the City players' performances and attitudes, made me pine for the days when Arsenal played with that kind of commitment. We're in our own semifinal, and regardless of the result, most of these guys just don't seem to have any fire in them at all. De Bruyne was tired and busted, but the way he played even after being 2-0 up was awe-inspiring.
I'd at least like to see us go down swinging. It's what makes limited players like Lacazette, kids like Saka, and lunatics like Tierney so likeable. They respond.
Pepe is growing in that regard at least, and I really hope that Partey steps out there like the player we know he can be and takes control.
