Yeah I agree

To be fair to Arsenal they are good on their day. Just can't be consistent enough.

But yeah it feels like the other three would beat them.

They are better than the version of Liverpool we got against PSG to be fair.

And have the best special teams in Europe, so could surprise anyone at their set pieces.

Unlikely they pull it off, but you never know. Kind of happy to see something different have a run though.

Can see them putting PSG way, being outplayed and then hurting Donnarumma on the corners. PSG and Donna are awful at corners.

Yeah indeed. Their set pieces are a major weapon. And they do have a very strong midfield and Saka can create genius moments. Gabriel is a big miss though due to his solid partnership with William Saliba.

I kinda hope they do pull it off - if Barcelona make the final (and other winners this week progress to the semis as we think) Arsenal should in theory be an easier game and a better matchup than PSG. But then, Arsenal will have eliminated PSG in that case, so I guess they'd be high on confidence and self-belief.

Another reason why Flick was 100% correct to play him deeper and have options to be more involved with build up of play and these earlu opportunities.

It was clear as day.

Thanfully Flick could see it and didnt want a slow Gundogan who cant run off ball or press ahead of him.

Might be his worst performance this season. He seems tired, not as sharp and made a lot of uncharacteristic mistakes. But still really good at dictating tempo. Needs rest, my guy was pressing until the 94th min.

Shit performance yeah but in his defense that pitch was dreadful man, you could harvest potatos on that shit

Also tired as fuck, unsurprisingly as he played every game since the start

Maybe they don't rest him as they're scared of a potential injury? My best guess, because signs of fatigue are present now almost a month

His legs are getting heavier and heavier, which is no surprise since he has played non stop.

I think he still start vs Dortmund and if things go well, he will be subbed off in the second half.
