Offside unfortunately
They obviously don't want to get spanked by City in the semis or final.I don’t really get the Arsenal lineup, why wouldn’t they play their strongest side for this?
But a Sheffield player headed it into his head.Didn't it come of a Arsenal players head?
Nah, I no longer hate Arsenal, which says it all about them currently I guess. Now I hope they lose for the comedy value rather than because we need them to.Has Arsenal become anyone else’s most hated side after the Scouse?
I use to despise them as a child when they had Viera, Henry and Parlour but that made sense because they was good and our biggest rival. I don’t actually know why I hate this current side so much
We have no creative players, apart from Ozil and maybe Xhaka. So often you'll see there's a through ball on, but our midfielders will turn back and play the safer option. Hard to blame Arteta for thatArsenal under arteta have been such a bore to watch. Atleast under wenger even when he was past his prime they were entertaining side and used to score fun goals. Even under Emery for first 6 odd months they used to play some good football, now it's just a chore. No style, no passion nothing.
Bar isolated spells I don't think they've been that entertaining since 10/11.Arsenal under arteta have been such a bore to watch.

Saka is our only creative threat, it’s mad. Dreadful squad planning.We have no creative players, apart from Ozil and maybe Xhaka. So often you'll see there's a through ball on, but our midfielders will turn back and play the safer option. Hard to blame Arteta for that
You are correct but still they used to batter the poor teams and used to put up a fight sometimes against big boys. I remember them tearing us apart at the Emirates under van gaal beating us 3-0 and also beating chelsea under conte 3-0 and scoring 3 plus goals against liverpool on multiple occasions. Yes defensively they were naive but still were somewhat entertaining than what they are now.Bar isolated spells I don't think they've been that entertaining since 10/11.
Not for the first time this season, Sheffield United have been fecked by terrible refereeing.Should be a pen for the shirtpull if they're using VAR.
This form has so far consisted of a keeper error, a defensive howler and a cheap penalty.Arsenal play Wolves and Lecester in a weeks time, we need them to keep up this form
Looked like he was doing similar to what Oblak does, and stayed upright incase it goes down the middle - or close to the middle.Deano going for the dive way after the ball had been struck. Another poor penalty saver?
Hopefully another clean sheet then you have Norwich next.This form has so far consisted of a keeper error, a defensive howler and a cheap penalty.
I wouldn't get your hopes up...
I feel like teams in the Bundesliga, and here in the PL, rely more on their athleticism over technique than in La Liga. So with fitness levels being low after the break it makes sense the quality isn't there yet.Such a scrappy game, and not the first one in these past couple of weeks. I feel the quality of games has been quite low in England since the restart - end to end action has been rare. La Liga games, on the other hand, seem to be easier on the eye so far with slick passing all around (Barca vs Levante comes to mind).
Bundesliga was unwatchable, though, bar a few moments of quality here and there.
Makes sense really. Bar a City, we're not exactly a "technical" league - it's much more based around pace, strength and individual moments of brilliance. It'll get back there, but it'll take time. Be interesting to see how this, if at all, impacts the European tournaments in August.Such a scrappy game, and not the first one in these past couple of weeks.
