perfect

Terrible match? Arsenal were in complete control, just poor finishing.

Nah their keeper was pulling off some brilliant saves to keep them in it until Ezes goal.

There were three or four saves he made which on another day might have gone in. We were peppering their goal at will.

It was much much better football from us.

nothing exceptional though. just good goalkeeping. Saka and Rice were both guilty of main man syndrome and trossard had a malunction in his radar

Yeah, how selfish of Rice. How dare he take a shot & score from it !

 

[Mitch]

Rice was immense.

Eze with absolute screamer! Also Eze best performance after the Sp**s hattrick.

Gyokeres physicality, runs and workrate caused them problems.

The entire back 4 were very good.

Going from the last match of a full back pairing of Calafiori and Timber to Hincapie and White shows that we are able to rotate and have no drop off in quality and shows our strength in depth of quality. Two of the top 5 the most talented RBs and the two best LBs in league. We deserve this after having to put up with Bellerin atrocities on the pitch for years.

It was, until Eze scored that belter.

No it wasn't. We were on top of them for the full 90. Should have scored 2,3 goals before the Eze screamer

@Oxeki and @Nunowoolmez deciding who makes the City thread:

@ggunner12345 or we riot

 

[Nunowoolmez]

@ggunner12345 or we riot

Too late

You have watched different match than 90% of people.
We were at them since the start, their GK got 9.1 rating on Sofascore.

Was working nights so missed the game. Saw the highlights this morning though...what a fantastic win. Ezes finish was unreal, Deccers caressing it into the bottom corner was superb. The European games (9 times out of 10) have seen us afforded more time and space to threaten, and we absolutely mothered them last night. Proper, proper happy

 

[Synical]

It's not about being ruthless or if it's about Kepa. He deserves to play this final. He's been really good in every game we've played as well as qualifying us with the penalty save vs Palace.
I wouldn't change him for Raya and I hope Arteta won't as well.

Imo it's not about whether he deserves it or not. It's about clinching that trophy and Raya is our best keeper. It is imperative that we beat City and win this trophy. It goes beyond just winning a trophy. The psychological lift we will get from both beating City before our trip to Etihad and from winning a trophy. Also the psychological blow it will deal to City, who have just been dumped out of the CL and have been dropping points to relegation fodder while we stretch our lead at the top of the PL to 9 points.

I would be amazed if Kepa starts. This trophy is way more important to us than city who has won it several times. Teta will play his strongest team. Same 11 as last night except for timber

I don't agree. For me this specific trophy is irrelevant, FA cup in the same bracket but a bit more prestigious.
When your reserve keeper is this good, you don't use him in all cup games just to substitute him in the final. I can guarantee you Pep will use Trafford.
I agree it goes beyond just winning a trophy but not in the sense you think.

Why you didn't go watch Chelsea? Still welcome i don't hate you like most people here

Coz, he's our next manager

redeemed himself at the end. the game was won by then

[Tom Mix]

No chance. He would end up weeping when his boyhood club made a pass at him and leave us in the lurch - again.

 

[UpTheChampionz]

Would be like going from cream de cream chocolate to a lukewarm turd sandwich in my book!
