Be a right tetchy 2nd leg, can see players missing would be finals because of it.

Just read to miss the final you would need to be sent off in the game before the final in the PL a la pope 2 years ago. Yellows don’t add up

is this confirmed? Seems so dumb just like the rules in the previous rounds. Why would football "authorities" not want the best players to be available in finals. 


I might be wrong. But I thought they are wiped. So you can miss the first leg from the last rounds because of yellows. But no bans now. You would have thought the commentators would have mentioned it when cards were dished out, otherwise. They usually do.

This is right. Only a red constitutes a ban.

I think Arsenal are now the club I hate the most in the league. 

 

They way they go on, every player the manager, the set piece nonce that thinks it's OK to walk 30 outside of the technical area to give free kick instructions. Such a shitbag of club

You'd think that info would be easy to google but I couldn't find it anywhere :D thanks for clarifying. Just don't want any of the lads holding back and worrying about missing a final when we still need to perform in the 2nd leg.

Jamie Redknapp was just saying how good our options on the bench were and that Arsenal just don’t have that at the moment. 
 

Yeah. Thos youth players Jesus, Jorginho and Zinchenko are all shit and Longstaff, Almiron and Kelly are much better……

Tbf all 3 of them are shite

That was absolutely incredible. The perfect, absolutely perfect, away performance. 
 

I love this manager and this team more than any team we’ve had since I started supporting us back in 1993. Truly outstanding.

 

 

It was a performance which makes me think we are on the verge of something really special here.

We have 5 fixtures before the replay, predominantly straight forward fixtures.

 

They have 7 including Villa, Man U, Spurs, 2 in the CL and Man City 3 days before ours. 

 

Is there a chance fixture fatigue for them may be overwhelming and they effectively rest better players for the return leg in order to prioritise other competitions?

They might throw in the towel against us you know.  
 

You kinda want them to do well enough that they prioritise other comps but not well enough they fancy themselves to turn it around.

Have to say, other than those set pieces and that one momentary lapse when Botman pressed a bit too high and Martinelli got in behind, I thought we were solid as fuck at the back. Their best chance came from a fluke deflection for the Havertz chance. 

 

Without Saka and when Odegaard is contained they have very little creativity at the moment. 

 

Worried when we went 5-5-0 with time left we were inviting unnecessary pressure, but Eddie got it right, they had nothing outside of set pieces and even then I started to doubt anything was getting past Botman and Burn and others putting their bodies in the way. 

 

Mention for Dubravka aswell. Been a really good stint and will be sad actually if he does depart as this is the best spell he's had since when he originally signed. Although big shout to the defence for protecting him so well these past 7 games.
