Arsenal captain after yesterday's game

‘The second half was very far from good enough from us.

It’s not acceptable to concede two goals like that. It’s something we have to talk about and make sure we improve.’

Hilarious the ghost captain calling out rest of the team

What are your thoughts on KDB from city on a free? Arteta knows him and although in decline hes still far better than Odegaard. Along with a striker , could add another 20+ goals for the team.

Whilst a declining KDB is still miles better than Odegaard, signing him would be backwards longterm move

Arsenal need to sign a top quality number 10 who is at their peak or not far off it

Sure but if no joy in CL, Areta and Arsenal will be under huge pressure to win silverware next season . KDB could be the man . The last thing arsenal can ill afford is to spend huge on a top striker but have no creator. KDB will get you 12-15 assists min along with delivering quality passes throughout the game.

How many assists has Odegaard this season and in his arsenal career? Why is he struggling esp when he has rice and partey doing the donkey work in midfield

KDB still has at least 80% of his technical proficiency as a number 10. The problem is he doesn't have the legs to be able to play 90 mins on a consistent basis, which is sad because for me he's one of the two greatest PL midfielders (along with Stevie G) I've ever seen.

KDB is past his benefit, the most Arsenal would get out of him would be 1 season. Which is zero benefit in terms of next few seasons.

Arsenal need to look at players like eze, khudus, wirtz (probably going to man city), Guler. Who realistically would be obtainable for Arsenal.

Arsenal massively need creativity in their midfield. Odegaard is not elite, once a new striker is signed. That means havertz and Merino back in midfield who are not good enough either.

Odegaard isnt struggling, his 15 goal season was an anomaly and he's just returned to the decent at best levels he's always been at.
 
Both inter and Barca played fearless football.

Let's see if Arsenal show some bravery tonight in the 2nd leg
 
Arsenal have brilliant away from home in the CL this season. Let’s hope they can do it again this evening.

Should be a great contest . Arsenal need to be brave and go for it , get an early goal to put the pressure back on Paris .
 
I actually fancy Arsenal to go through, key will be to just see out what is likely to be a fast PSG start, let the game settle and then focus on set pieces and the counter attack

No Dembele for Paris , on the bench .

Arsenal best xi . Odegaard must deliver some good passes and not lose the ball .
 
Sweet strike .

tough now but need to find a response .

This could turn nasty for arsenal , need some patience
 
Numerous chances wasted early on, you can't do when your on top in a game.

We had control lf midfield as well.

Poor goal to give away, again a man unmarked on edge of box

PSG will not look to pick off even more on the counter attack

Arsenal need a goal here before HT
 
Arsenal need to stop kvaratskhelia coming in side when he has the ball, send him out wide.
 
How fkin times is ball going to be given away sloppily in dangerous positions
 
Players are giving all the energy they have for arsenal. 2 behind with 45 to go , this is near impossible now but nothing to lose.

Arsenal plenty chances but not clinical. Again the striker in the room appears.
 
HT 1-0

Both games now we've wasted fkin chances.

You can't be missing chances like we have early on.

Inter Milan showed last night how to be clinical when it's needed
 
Sakah been outstanding. He's had Mendez on toast. Just a pitty Gooners didn't put their chances away.

Young Skelly been rash and giving the ball away far to many times. Feel PSG will not be this bad in the second half and it could get Ugly against a brittle Arsenal defence

Arsenal need to score straight after half time, the more game becomes stretched later on if Arsenal have to chase it will end up messy.

Last time we scored in a semi final was vs Villareal (7 semi final games ago)

Arteta didn't buy a striker, many were available in jan .

Merino is tired already and Saka is heavily marked.

2 goals needed , set pieces looks the only route

What a save by Donnarumma, great effort from Odegaard but worryingly for PSG he might be injured

Donnarumma was the difference in Liverpool and Villa games.

He's a brilliant goal keeper. He does make gaffes at time. But he's a difference maker

Trossard needs to come now.

Martinelli and trossard should have scored in 1st leg.

Tonight Rice and Martinelli should have scored.

Its not just about a clinical striker, we just haven't be ruthless when on top.

Same thing happened in United FA cup game, Newcastle league cup semis. You can't keep missing guilt edge chances

Manager needs to be brave with substitutions, but that's not his way.

Trossard and Nwaneri need to come on after 60 mins if the game is still like this

I'd make them changes now. I agree need an early goal, go same as first half all out and see.

Enrique will want possession now

The instant change won't happen, Trossard would give more movement up front, but then hold up play by merino is lost.

But I know what you mean, by being proactive.

Either way Arsenal need an early goal here.

They going to slow the game , time waste and keep the ball so fresh legs is a good option.
 
2 goals behind and Arteta makes like for like subs

🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

Just go for broke ffs
 
Lovely finish from Hakimi

Arsenal only have themselves to blame, started the game so well but didn't take their chances
 
even lazier defending , lovely finish.

Arsenal falling apart, the scoreline is a bit unfair , hope it doesn't worsen
 
Partey has had a nightmare tonight. But to be honest bar Sakah thees mo creativity.

The long throw in to the area has been Arsenal’s biggest threat. Got to be better than thst going forward
 
Another **** poor goal given away

Another semi final embarrassment from Arsenal
 
Ah well it is what it is. Started off well.
Keeper made some fantastic saves

We resorted to errors as usual when things don't go our way.

Saka scores but to late.. At least we've scored in a semi for once.
 
If we don't score tonight it will be 7 semi finals and zero goals

These bottle jobs ain't doing nothing under this manager
 
Arsenal just need to go for it, massive 15 minutes

PSG have a soft underbelly and attacking them exposes it

Would help if manager made brave substitutions. Usual like for like subs are do typical of the safety 1st approach from this manager
 
Geordie Ahmed said:
Agreed

He needs to take off Merino now and get Nwaneri on the pitch

Better off taking a defender or midfielder off, just leave merino on and get nwareri on, go for broke

If concede chasing game then so be it

Yeah, being cautious is irrelevant now

Better off conceding the next goal by going all out to score the next goal
 
Another like for like sub 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

Please sack this fkin clueless manager
 
Odegaard has been poor , prob worth selling him in the summer.

Manager surely has to go all out attack now , press high. Not sure long throws will work at this level , cross it in
 
Imagine chasing a game in a semi final and with 20 minutes to go and you make the same usual like for like for subs

Don't worry guys, more the same next season under this clueless manager
 
As usual when going gets tough their is no plan B, C or D

Set pieces and praying for saka miracles ain't getting you over the line
 
Not sure how skipper has played 90 mins.

Anyway well done PSG. Love that there is still room for an old school keeper who does his main job and make saves.

Have a good summer brothers I've got a busy few weeks ahead.

Maybe some of you take a break from this thread too and furious typing essays.

Enjoy family and the important things in life.

Catch up soon.
