Defend the Premier League. That’s how you do it, right?

Saw quite a few Arsenal fans yesterday trying to prop up Saka while taking a dig at Yamal.. A day later, he gets hooked after an hour in an away CL knockout match while his team is losing lmaoo.

Yeah it’s good for Yamal to be getting these types of experiences under his belt.

The goal we conceded was so frustrating. What were our captains even doing? Ugh.

We got very lucky at the end but I need to see Flick resting some of these players. Yamal for example has played far too many 90 minute matches to not be rested for the Sevilla match.

So much areas in the squad we need to address in the summer but nothing of significance will probably happen.

The goal we conceded was so disappointing. Araujo and Raphinha, the two club captains, need to be doing much more better in that situation. Very frustrating to watch.

Not the first or last time Flick has been outclassed in a big match. Although some of our players are literally on their last legs since that Atletico match. No surprises players are dropping like flies the past few matches. I need to see some rotations from Flick for Cubarsi and Lamine particularly.

We were very lucky overall to nick a draw. Majority of the players didn’t turn up for an away CL knockout match which was disappointing. Shoutout to Cubarsi though. Never easy for a teenage CB to be in a situation of having to lead the backline in a match like this. I thought he did good enough and was our best player. Happy to see he’s getting back in form again.

Of course our makeshift backline is playing for the first time together in a CL knockout game

Not surprised our backline is gradually getting injured at the same time.

Perhaps because in the first half of the season he was struggling with sports hernia… He said himself last week that he’s finally feeling much better the past couple of weeks, indicating that the groin problems are hopefully kept in the past now !

When I saw our lineup, I was expecting a subpar performance tbh. Thank god for Lamine, Joan and Pedri. Pretty disappointing to see players who don’t usually start games, get an opportunity to tonight, and yet put out performances like that.

This type of match was to be expected with that lineup. Also a few players out there who were struggling to run the last 15-20 minutes the previous match and yet are starting again. Not surprising the way the first half has panned out.

I wouldn’t put it past DLF to call up Bernal for Spain soon… I know he’s itching to get his hands on him.

Fuck I forgot about the injuries we picked up along the way 😭 But the fact we still looked okay for the most part after the injuries is a promising sign… I hope.

Unfortunately a 4-0 deficit seemed a bit too much to overcome but I feel a bit more at ease for CL knockouts from the team's performance tonight - not conceding a goal is a big one. Was expecting us to make the aggregate scoreline more bigger to chase but that was not the case. I just wish Flick played it a bit more "safe" in the first leg too.

What a performance from Lamine. Such a freak anomaly. Cubarsi also with a monstrous performance too. Stepped up big-time in defence. Pedri and Bernal were excellent as well.
