Have no idea why you would play Zaniolo he is as bad as anyone we have - not suited to the PL.

Limited in options but if we’re going attacking I would have had Duran up top to at least give them something to think about

There something a bit wanky about this Arsenal squad.  I can’t put my finger on it.  But it’s all a bit pretentious.

Zaniolo off the ball is more useless than Hourihane. Physically weak as piss as and a liability at giving away fouls.

Wonder what minute zaniolo gets booked 6th or 8th minute?

I think Unai has half an eye on the QF against Lille on Thursday.

When you look at the bench it's not like we have a raft of options.

He got pissed off when that was suggested to him in a recent press-conference.

You can see the in balance of the squad. Too many defensive options and not enough attacking/midfield options

I will send him a letter of apology later, Promise, but I really hope we win the Conference and have something physical to show for what's been a great season, whatever happens today.

Yeah not much else we can do with injuries and I’m not whining generally as it’s been a cracking season but no defensive mid, no natural right back (because we only have one anyway), a hopelessly out of form centre back and Zaniolo who is yet to have a good game for us and I’m not hopeful !

Arsenal can get toxic if we can frustrate them esp with such big stakes today
