Chelsea definitely took it to Arsenal today, good bit of luck and fortune they didn't score.




Yeah I guess I meant in previous years, maybe even a diff Chelsea team would have really put us away in the first half.

But this is good. Will try to catch some of the games this summer.

@FabrizioRomano: “Willian is going to leave Arsenal. He wants to leave. Arsenal are open to sell him. They need to wait for some proposals but the feeling around Willian is that he’s leaving this season. He has a lot of opportunities [to leave].”

@FabrizioRomano: “[Lucas] Torreira is a player who can leave the club this summer, but at the moment, from Boca Juniors, Arsenal haven’t received anything. They expect something different from Europe, Italy or other South American clubs. Torreira is on the transfer list.”

@FabrizioRomano on Ødegaard: “He’s happy with Arsenal life. Ødegaard is really happy, but he’s on loan without any buy option. He’s waiting to understand what happens with Zidane. Let’s see what happens with his future between Arsenal & Real Madrid.”

@FabrizioRomano on Lacazette contract extension: “It’s a possibility. Arsenal have not discussed yet directly with the player. They are waiting for some weeks, then they will talk directly with Lacazette, also about the possibility of extending his contract for one more season.”

@FabrizioRomano: “Arsenal’s intention is to go on with Arteta, 100 percent. They are convinced with Arteta, they are convinced with the project. They think when you go with this kind of manager, he needs time. This season has been really disappointing & they know about it.”

@FabrizioRomano on Arsenal: “They are still working on the contract of [Emile] Smith Rowe. From the player, there is [a] big positive feeling because he wants to stay. I think an agreement is just a matter of time & everything will be resolved.”

EXCL: Eberechi Ezi has suffered a serious Achilles injury that could rule him out well into next season. Occurred in training & 22yo Crystal Palace player seeing specialist to ascertain extent of damage + next steps.

I just don't know how much I can get my hopes up. Sure a signing or two can help, but the gap from the top 3 is pretty sizable currently.

65 minutes in and Arsenal still only have 1 shot on target, this is far too common place with this club.

Regardless of the 2 missed red cards for Palace.

Needed a win today to keep the Europa hopes alive, and yet the team only managed 1 shot on goal. Until the 91st minute.

Just like the Europa semi-final 2nd leg, where they needed one single goal and couldn't produce one. This team under Arteta has some very serious issues on attack.

Happy for the Win, but come on guys the attack desperately needs to improve.

I really don't like Auba playing in the center. He needs to be on the left.

I've said it all season in here, if Pepe plays every game, we push for the top 4 or 5 IMO.

Willian came in and took Pepe, Martinelli, and Nelson's minutes.

I can't wait to see him play most every game next season.

Saka-ESR-Pepe gets us top 4 with a fricking competent 2nd midfielder next to Partey.

Build this squad around:

Saka, ESR, Pepe, Gabriel, Martinelli, Saliba, Partey (even tho he has been bad recently), and Tierney.

Auba on the left kills us in possession and hurts Pepe, Martinelli, Saka, and ESR.

No thanks to Auba on the left ever again

Glad you said it, I haven't been impressed with Partey. For how expensive he was the guy can't shoot, literally can not keep it from going in the stands. He gives it away in compromising situations often, but he is still better than what Arsenal has available as a holding mid. Just not liking the price point for what he offered this year. That said I will hope he comes on in his second season like how Pepe did after he had a dreadful first season in the Premiership.

For how much Partey and Auba cost Arsenal those two need to step up in a big way going forward.

My son received the new away kit yesterday. Long sleeve with Saka. It is freaking beautiful.

Pepe got a lot of crap, but his stats were better than Pires' first season and Pires had a much better supporting cast. Auba has been worth every penny. Partey will come around.

yeah we had like 15 players start more pl games than Pepe.

That includes willian and Auba who i think both havent been as good as pepe this season for various reasons.

If Arsenal had some ambition wed go sign berge, bissouma, royal and either a buendia or odegaard.
