We also have to remember when calling Chelsea and City “cheaty horrible clubs”, Kroenke has comparable wealth to Abramovich and the Kroenke family has comparable wealth to Sheikh Mansour. The only difference is Kroenke won’t spend his own money on the club he owns but Abramovich and Mansour will. Is that really enough to make them “cheaty”, even if it makes us jealous? City have spent completely beyond the club's means. Literally hundreds of millions. Chelsea work within revenues generated by the club these days but in the first 7 or 8 years of Abramovic's ownership they did the same. "Financial doping" really is a very good description. Being "financially doped" has its benefits. We just have "financially doped" owners who are a bit stingy, |

Atilla the Hun probably would also object to being classed with Trump (not to mention Hitler and Vlad): "He was a man born into the world to shake the nations, the scourge of all lands, who in some way terrified all mankind by the dreadful rumors noised abroad concerning him. He was haughty in his walk, rolling his eyes hither and thither, so that the power of his proud spirit appeared in the movement of his body. He was indeed a lover of war, yet restrained in action, mighty in counsel, gracious to suppliants and lenient to those who were once received into his protection." |

Indeed David a must win this time. Actually 2 years on being in another EL final is commendable if it happens. |

Interesting line up. Lots of creativity in midfield |

Leno, Bellerin, Holding, Mari, Xhaka, Partey, Saka, Smith Rowe, Ødegaard, Pépé, Aubameyang Not certain who plays where in that line up |

We must come out firing on all cylinders. No holding back. Getting the first goal early is key. 3-0 is a likely score. |

Xhaka injured in warm up! Tierney starts. Let’s hope that works out then. |

Ceballos suspended and Xhaka injured in warm up, I have a good feeling about this, gods are smiling on us. |

Bellerin has been really poor so far. Lost the ball in terrible positions on multiple occasions. |

Post subject: | Re: Supporters Forum |
We've not started that well, very loose in possession. Yet again, teams put on a high press and we don't put any balls over the top to turn their defence. A high press from the midfield means the defence has to also come higher to avoid huge gaps between the lines, which means space in behind. |

Horrible to watch our passing around the back third and failing to find a way out. Just plain scary at times. |

Ødegaard is hardly in the game. Why is the ball passing him by? Poor positioning or poor tactics? |

Post subject: | Re: Supporters Forum |
I keep pining for some sort of intensity from our starts to games. We need to win, we need to score, in my mind the best way to do that is to start high tempo, high intensity and put them under real pressure from the start. Arteta seems to be approaching this as a patient approach under the impression that one of our pre-described attacking moves will eventually work out. It just feels like a low percentage tactic considering the state of the game and quality of our team. |

Post subject: | Re: Supporters Forum |
So tense. We need something over the top to Saka or Aubameyang. Pépé is getting in position and being a bit ponderous when he gets in. Or Smith Rowe early higher up, but we’re slowly trying to pass it through the middle |

It would be interesting to see the stats on Bellerin’s passing this evening. Looks like he thinks that we are playing in yellow. |

Oh No, Bellerin gives it away again |

So lucky by their keeper. Got away with a complete lash up. |
