Tbf, I think injury situation forced Pep’s hand. Gvardiol is no full back but a top CB. I agree previous positions are not really relevant, the question is “Where are they best in this team?”

Gvardiol has been playing leftback for 2 seasons so if anything he only got moved back to his natural position of CB due to injuries to Stones, Ake & Akanji

They’re got Liverpool and Newcastle to go, if they drop 3 or more points we go second. After this season that is mad.

Newcastle win all their remaining games and they are guaranteed second spot. That seems crazy.
If Newcastle and Arsenal both drop points, we could sneak second.
Just as crazy.

Funny that gob shite arsenal fan is very quite tonight..stay humble pricks

We've now won more games than the September champions!

I think Gvardiol has been brilliant, whether at left-back or centre-back.

And he’s still very young for a CB.

Arsenal just make me smile or to be more exact, smirk ha

The only one that matters is that a team in red does not win the europa league.
Everything else is minor.

Arsenal's season totally collapsing unfortunately means that Spuds would probably lose to the rags, it's football heritage to bottle it when you're from North London.

Why is rice bowing after his goal?

Who the fuck do they think they are? Literally serial bottlers who have won nothing between them, are about to be booted out the champions league, and have a fight on to not finish 3rd in a 2 horse race

Such a laughable joke of a club, they'll never quite realise how weird they are

I had a sneaking suspicion at the time Rice did that ridiculous bow it might come back and bite him on the arsenal.

That whole club is riddled with insecure theatrical personalities that have a nasty habit of over celebrating too soon.

I think if they finish 4th or 5th Arteta might get the boot.

Theres already talk his time is running out to win another trophy, reaching 5 years without one this summer and finishing 4th in a 2 horse race might be one failure too many.

If they do end up that low it will cost them 10s of millions in CL tv money as well because of the way tv pool money way is distributed between the champions, 2nd, 3rd and 4th. That will hurt their transfer plans.

He has been brilliant, but at times he's had a couple of brain farts this season, not the only one, but he gets no cover if Doku & Savinho are playing on the wing.

If they drop 3 points, there needs to be a goal swing.

Just seen the goals.

VAR tried to intervene for Bournemouth's second goal but there was no conclusive proof it hit his arm. There was however conclusive proof that Odegaard was all over Ivanilson. Guarantee the PiGMOL would have ignored it though.

The Arsenal fan I work with wants him gone if they finish 2nd!

Arteta has spent around £650m over five years and has one FA Cup with a team he inherited from Unai Emery. I'm coming around to the idea that he’s a fraud. When he gets sacked next summer after we finish 3rd behind Dippers and City he won’t have top PL clubs trying to appoint him.

Nonsense. Odegaard hasn't attempted to make a tackle for the best part of 3 months so it couldn't have been a penalty. Odegaard's always exhausted from all the arm waving to our fans trying to get them to make noise which is why he never attempts to win the ball on the pitch. Worst captain in the PL in terms of inspiration and motivation.

Odegaard's drop this season for us has been at least as bad (if not worse) than KDB's for you.

Clock wankers.

 

[Ysabel 123]

It seems they are bottling second place. I think only Spurs managed to do that (2016?).

They could come third in a two-horse race. That would be some achievement.

3rd? They have still got to play Newcastle yet!

4th isn't off the cards yet!

taking a bow is over celebrating ? seen loads of players do that over the years. hardly even worth mentioning.
