This is the one aspect of their game I really like, their combination play is excellent. They really do focus on their positioning, even when it looks messy or disoriented, so they can play those quick combination passes and make a situation dangerous.
We need to be weary of that come Thursday.
We shouldn't underestimate them, that goes without saying.
But they're the ones who need to be wary of us. The Emirates is not a ground you come to play your own game, otherwise, you invite nothing but misery.
Indeed, and I dont think we will underestimate them.
But I agree with you, think we should have to much for them at home. If we do our job like we can, we'll get the job done.
Agreed. Areta has been almost flawless this season but he's playing with fire continually putting Saka out there. He's clearly shattered. He needs a rest, ideally Thursday AND Sunday.If Saka start this, I swear...well I won't actually do anything, but I would be a little annoyed!
At most just have him on the bench.

Agree, he should play Sunday and pick up a knock in the last min and very unfortunately have to pass on the Int break this timeI wouldn't be brave enough to rest him on Sunday though, can't lie
Ok I'll goWhy has no one mentioned holding in their lineup ??
Can't pass the ball, Kiwior would make more senseWhy has no one mentioned holding in their lineup ??
Exactly. People don't realize that having hopes of more trophies will boost players mentally. Also they don't realize how important momentum is. Losing a match like this can be a huge downer.People may think that less games is better but getting put out of this competition at home will have a bigger impact on these players than some may think.
Basically Bellerin's testimonial this, 4-1 to The Arsenal!
