Yeh people love to jump on his back when he has a poor game but forget he's been playing non-stop since he was 19-20. He's incredibly resilient and hardy considering that. I think people forget how crazy deep Pep's squad is. Saka can't get a rest...

Yes I'm feeling positive, think we'll continue to progress under Arteta. It's also Arteta's first time out in the CL and he's gotten to a QF and lost to a heavyweight, not bad. At least we were always in the tie and never got blown away (like in...

Oh God now we really have no chance at the league. :lol:

Agree we looked tired esp in the 2nd half. We couldn't lift at all. If we're going to try to stick with City, yes we'll need to spend, just like everyone else.

Partey being a perpetual sick note has ruined that. ATM he only has 2 options at CM - Rice and Jorginho. Which is why he's had to revert to playing Havertz in midfield again, which won't be good enough against the better teams (eg Villa and...

I haven't had time to research - where is Partey? He featured against Bayern at the Emirates and I was expecting him vs Villa, but he was missing again tonight. I can only assume he's been injured again which explains why Arteta has pretty...

This is where our lack of experience (and squad depth) shows. We are fading in the latter stages of games - it was clear vs Villa and again tonight. No energy, urgency to go up the required level. We're the 3rd youngest squad in the league - by...

That's fair. I guess I must be a masochist. :lol: Yeh, we are getting tired and don't have the bench options (in midfield in particular) to freshen things up.

Oh I see, yes my bad. :lol: Forgive me I woke up at 5am to watch this game.

It's lack of mentality (understandable with a young squad) and lack of squad depth. We have dropped off in the last 2 games and have looked leggy. With Partey a constant no-show, Jorginho probably doesn't have the legs to be playing as much as he...

If you're going to be a smarty pants about it, I said "almost a decade", which is what 7 years is. :D

Sane is excellent and most FBs would struggle against him. I think defensively we did well tonight (except the goal of course) and in particular kept Kane quiet, but we needed more from our attackers and tonight it just wasn't clicking.

Exactly, we still lack the composure and mentality to be consistent at the highest level. I'm upset right now of course, but I think considering this is Arteta's first dance in the CL with a young squad, we did pretty well.

What? We haven't been in CL since 2016-2017.

How long have you been supporting us, can I ask? Just curious. I can remember one or two worse defeats at the hands of Bayern. :lol: Thought we did well in the frist half but badly faded in the second. I think we're running out of legs as we...
