Arsenal (H) - FA Cup | Post Match Thread

[silvaboots]

Fair result. But it will have no bearing on the league meetings as some would suggest.

All that it means, is we are out of the FA Cup, and you are through.

Deal with it you Tarquin

Still nowhere near our brilliant best, but a win is a win and the table doesn't lie. They are a very good outfit.

I only saw the second half but I thought Jack was excellent and Bernie seemed suitably lively.

Never saw a goalie move as quickly as Ortega did in around the 85th minute.

Let's go and win this thing.

I very much like the look of Ortega.
His distribution is better than Eddy’s and he looks very assured on crosses.
Great backup and unlucky not to play more often.

He’s brave as well.

Do you remember these two sick notes? It’s always worth keeping excellent players.

The club’s top scorer got injured walking off the coach at Stoke once. Kompany did his calf when he was getting out of bed once.

I do and I also remember we had no adequate replacements

Ortega's kicking out to the wings and to Haaland was generally poor. He was too slow to decide where to pass the ball and when he did it was over-hit, too high and floaty, allowing the opposition to challenge for the ball. But his shot stopping and quick reactions are fantastic.

Ederson is the opposite: ball distribution far better, but very poor at saving shots.

Yeah but, the phycological impact will be immense.

Zinchenko….the dressing room cheerleader didn’t take it too well.
Pressure is on

Not sure who we'll get in next round..

But must be 50/50 Spurs or Liverpool

It does for us as Pep rotated a bunch of players and got a better understanding who to use against Arsenal

Arteta isnt a bot. He is capable of learning and assessment as well. No manager has improved his team quite the lengths Arteta has improved Arsenal since he took charge. Arteta too would have seen City and will make an assessment.

I wanted to win, disappointed we didnt. But there were some encouraging signs. And add to the fact today Martinelli signed a new long-term deal. Today is not the worst day from an Arsenal point of view

They had us in our own half pinned for periods of time...they restricted us to one long shot and a few balls over the top...they caught us out playing from the back....they were better all over the pitch in the first half.....

Nurse !!
