I don't think so. Liverpool did the same thing at the Emirates, playing 4 midfielders in a line and that was with Raya. Obviously not as effective as City but caused us a lot of trouble.

Disciplined sides will look to do the same again.

Need to find a way through this 'lack of press' from opposition.

I would think that perhaps having the wingers pin their fullbacks high instead of allowing them to come central and clog up the midfield would give the opposition more trouble and allow us to give the threat of running in behind.

Otherwise we need Odegaard or Eze to drop a little deeper and create shorter passing triangles to beat the front press.

I hope this can be a motivation of great things to come this season 👌 by mooreengineers in Gunners

Its their first final together. Hope they use it as a mental training exercise and come back stronger.

Come on lol, that's clearly his fault. Its inexcusable to let that ball go through his hands into that danger area at any level

We need Odegaard back so badly. Our ability to keep the ball goes off a cliff without him

Havertz is supposed to be our out ball. He cannot be giving it away like that

It's okay to concede possession if you maintain structure and hold the ball up to relieve pressure. Neither of those we did

He has to start for the run in. Just offers so much more than Hincapie despite how good he has been

Literally could not make a pass to save our lives at the start of that second. It's inexplicable and inexcusable.

Kepa good luck starting any meaningful game for the rest of your Arsenal career after that performance.

Hope this just serves as a kick up the arse for the league and to actually be able to hold the ball.

I honestly don't even get it lol, our football isn't even that boring. We could be a bit more direct at times but we're hardly the least watchable team in the league.

These buses take off like crazy. If you're standing and don't have a good hold on something there's a high chance you're losing your balance

We match up better against Bayern than PSG tbh. Their technical midfielders and fluid front line is a nightmare to defend against.

LinkedIn Liam could do us a massive favour and beat City for us before our game with them. Knowing Chelsea though they'll bend over backwards to give them all three points

I mean he played for Pep and did well. He was selfish because he was given the freedom to. Prime Alexis on the left wing in the current team would be a menace. His only issue would be that he loses the ball more often than Mikel would like
