    City will probably go on and win the league now and they'll definitely beat Arsenal at the Etihad.

                I thought city would win too. Artetas record in knock out games isn't good and we can see why. Reminded me of the villareal semi in 2021

                Having said that, I can't see how arsenal wont win the league.

                    I see arsenal losing to city. Having watched city as much as arsenal this season I also see city dropping points in other games

                    Chelsea Everton Brentford Bournemouth are tough games. Probably braver teams too, which can be city's issue

                      Pep gets more out of his teams than Arteta though. They'll use today as a springboard to push on.

              I honestly think its easy to say in hindsight. If Arsenal had won, it wouldnt even be a conversation. Raya isnt exactly faultless in his performances. Arsenal just have to be a bit more honest and say, the better team won... Yes, Kepa made a few errors, but being logical, you have to analyse, how did they get to that opportunity, where was the ball not closed down from upfront , in midfield could positioning have been better or defence before it got to Kepa could better choices have been made... easy and I know this having played as a GK, to pin the blame on him as he is the last line of defence.

                It's not easy to say in hindsight. Many arsenal fans were saying it before the game. I said it in here before the game. Kepa is a liability. Rest of the team didn't play well but at least it was the first choice. Team selection is completely under Ur control

                He nearly messed it up with that doku error. Shd have been subbed. If your plan is to absorb pressure U can't play with a keeper who isnt great at catching like Raya is

                  Re- the point about how the ball got there. It's something arsenal do all the time, absorb pressure leading to an easy cross for the keeper to deal with. Just have to have someone who is great at dealing with it. Raya is

                    Fair assessment. But I dont think Raya is that good at crosses or saves, and usually the solidity of the defence shields him.

            1.8 over budget with these 15 hypothetical doublers.

            Who should I swap to make it affordable?

              Wouldn't advise ditching Bruno

                Bruno will be playing in GW32 then transferring to Palmer for DGW33.

            Are we actually expecting doublers in 33 midweek 21st/22nd April if there is no pre-announcement even though we won't know who needs their fixture moving until 4th/5th April? That just isn't going to happen is it realistically? Are they moving fixtures at less than 3 weeks notice? My feeling is either they pre-empt something or those fixtures get kicked down the road even if just to midweek 34 rather than coming forward.

              Arsenal could give them a headache if they tried to kick it and Liverpool if they stay in but otherwise nobody else is in europe and they can play the 34 games whichever midweek they want more or less
