PSG - Arsenal Wednesday 20:00 UK Time.

Btw wtf was that defending in the set piece. That was a preventable goal

Panda

tazmania The set piece defending whole season hasn't been good enough.

Bring Back Kerrea Gilbert

tazmania shocking header out.

FEBravo

It’s ok I just checked and we’re winning the xG battle, both matches and aggregate

Don Pacifico

This is why we need more match-winners, more players with moments of individual brilliance in them. Too much reliance on playing the percentages with endless, uninspired and often aimless crosses into the box.

Qwiss

Don Pacifico yeah when you look at the goals in these semi-final you can see what we're lacking

Panda

Qwiss Did miss that chance to be fair stream died on it lol

Tactics

We were set up very well tactically. They didn't know what to do with Timber being so high up the pitch. It forced kvara (difficult name to spell) to drop back and help Mendez out otherwise he'd be outnumbered

flobaba

Mirth that’s Martinelli for you. Hardly ever does he “grow” into a game. First 10 minutes if the defender is able to stand up to his probing, and win the duels a couple of times, he becomes a passenger.

Odegaard has been so disappointing. If anyone is supposed to be critical in these games, it’s him. He acts like his job is solely to facilitate for others. And even that he’s not doing as well as he should. I’m almost at breaking point with him as well.

Dom

Looking very grim. Sense of resignation reminds me of the game against City in 2023.

The least we should expect is to put in the same kind of effort as Barcelona last night when they went 2-0 down. Their full back and midfielder scored.

FEBravo

Gazza M MLS trying (too) hard to make something happen. Saka is struggling but they’re ,asking him closely. I don’t get the Rice abuse, he’s trying to take control of the game just not happening g.for him. Ode has actually been better than recently but far from his best.

Don Pacifico

Mirth sadly, watching this game, I can't help but feel Martinelli is a prime example of a player who doesn't have enough ideas in his locker. When you compare him to front three of PSG, there's no comparison in terms of technical ability in the final third.

Gunner89

PSG had plenty of chances too around the goal, the Kvara hit on the pole, the saliba mistake on top of the goal

When you have better attackers you make make better chances

Our only consistent threat at goal is Saka

Bring Back Kerrea Gilbert

Qwiss this is why I don't subscribe to the "sort the striker position out and we're golden" thinking. Midfield is being shown up against elite ballers.

Bring Back Kerrea Gilbert
We are really bad at short, quick and accurate passing. Practically none of our midfielders can do it and that holds us back.

Qwiss

Bring Back Kerrea Gilbert we could really do with a striker here too though. That ball from Saks Merino nearly got to needed a top CF.

flobaba

Bring Back Kerrea Gilbert Fucking Wirtz apparently has declared for Bayern. Fuck them all.

Dom

Bring Back Kerrea Gilbert

Odegaard has not been as bad as Rice, but I maintain he should not be starting next season. Zubimendi-Rice-Odegaard is still not good enough as a midfield.

Too much lacking in the latter two's technique and vision.

flobaba

Gazza M yep. Saka has been putting in a few decent crosses but no ones there to do anything with it. Oh well.

Don Pacifico

Qwiss we're relying on a half-fit Saka and Declan Rice to step up, which no slight on them just isn't good enough

flobaba

USArsenal been shite

USArsenal

flobaba

Think he's not fully fit. He was rushed back into this game (probably his own choice)

awooga83

flobaba I don't know if your suggesting there is no-one we could sign but if so I don't believe that is true and we signed Cal and Merino in the summer which were clearly prioritised by him and they haven't improved us for be.

flobaba

awooga83 I’m saying Arteta made it clear what he wants. Multiple times. The club did not deliver. That’s on the club. Not him.

MistaT

Just get Cali and Trossard on.

Qwiss

Don Pacifico Rice isn't one of those players. Real was great but he doesn't do it often. He's not that guy.
