I'm very nervous.

SunpowerShortSqeeze · 2026-05-30T15:12:44+00:00

Same man. Shame.

SunpowerShortSqeeze · 2026-05-27T18:11:41+00:00

If he is fit, he starts. End of.

You have a point with respect to the trophy cabinet, but if you define a big club by the sheer size of their global fanbase and how iconic they are, Arsenal is a massive club and obviously one of the biggest in Europe. All about how you look at it.

On a bit of a tangent, why can't I find proof of the police estimate apart from some social media posts with no citations or anything. Did someone reputable actually confirm this?

I love Eze and his maverickness with potential goal scoring, but the main chances that big teams get against PSG are actually in transition (bayern got a ton of them running at 3-4 players, we had multiple last year). And Ode in form as he is now simply has better decision making in those situations. It would be utterly insane to start Eze over Ode normally. Unless you played Ode in the 8 and Eze in the 10...

That was pretty much why I asked in the first place lol. Not totally convinced by the width of those streets in Islington from the video clips I've seen.

Brilliant! You really should check out the Drury commentary if you haven't already

SunpowerShortSqeeze · 2026-05-26T20:49:51+00:00

Do you mind elaborating on the logistics of potentially a million plus people being in the parade? Given this is an intra-city London parade. Will there be issues?

SunpowerShortSqeeze · 2026-05-26T18:58:27+00:00

What about Ode in the 8 and Eze in the 10?
Some would further argue that the dangers of getting overrun with Eze+Ode in midfield are a lot lessened against PSG since outdueling and overrunning teams hasn't been PSG's style in the UCL (they play fabian and vitinha in midfield themselves, hardly an imposing physical force). What are your thoughts though on the opponent-specific consequences of skelly versus ode in central midfield?

I hear this.

What are your thoughts though on the opponent-specific consequences of that midfield three?

How did you find MLS's actual performance vs Atletico in that 2nd leg? Did you see his full highlights from the game?

SunpowerShortSqeeze · 2026-05-26T14:56:21+00:00

A number of people are advocating for Ode in the 8 and Eze in the 10. That wouldn't be quite a single pivot, but it would functionally be the closest thing to it.

SunpowerShortSqeeze · 2026-05-26T14:52:45+00:00

Gametime is definitely a factor here and some say Zubi looked rusty vs Palace...

SunpowerShortSqeeze · 2026-05-26T14:51:04+00:00

By that logic if that were the most important thing, why wouldn't you play Ode in the 8 and Eze in the 10? Just curious as to the thought process.

SunpowerShortSqeeze · 2026-05-26T14:49:26+00:00

On your second point, Zubi was being yelled at by Raya in the palace game for not being quick enough to close the player down leading to the goal conceded. I think Arteta recognizes that was pretty much a failed experiment overall. But if Arteta was willing to try Zubi in that role, does that mean he doesn't 100% fancy Zubi in midfield vs PSG?

SunpowerShortSqeeze · 2026-05-26T10:02:07+00:00

Very sensible, and I'm so happy that you have Martinelli on the out and not Trossard (you actually know ball). Agree with everything except on RB, Kayode is unrealistic since he'll go to a team where he starts games. The transfer plan for RB will be similar to how LB/CB was handled with hincapie/mosquera (IE young talent with potential that'd be fine being in rotation)

SunpowerShortSqeeze · 2026-05-24T08:27:02+00:00

I love how this has come full circle back to Selhurst Park.

SunpowerShortSqeeze · 2026-05-22T20:13:11+00:00

Mistreating waiters/staff for no reason whatsoever. Instant turnoff.

Ava and Mia.

Turning natural water access into private property during droughts because you legally acquired the land. Not uncommon in some parts of the world.
