And we play Zubi, Saka, both center halves, and Timber for a full ninety ahead of Forest away.
Will be very tough to recover in time

Is Bukayo Saka playing tonight?
We need to have a conversation. Where has the star boy gone?

This tie has been embarrassing for Arsenal. Absolutely playing with their food. They have thrown away a golden opportunity to walk through the second leg.

I’ve run out of things to say about John Henry and his recent tenure with the Red Sox.
It’s all just unacceptable. Complete incompetence.

Also, this was another big game this year where I watched Bukayo Saka and thought: if that was prime Salah, Haaland, KDB, they would have done something to win the match.
He got to the byline a few times but faded badly. We need our star

The most concerning thing about that Arsenal performance:
In years past, a title winning City or Liverpool would have had the nerves to demolish the opposition and put a grip on the league.
Arsenal showed the league we aren’t ready

Arsenal should be embarrassed by that display. Chance to practically put a hand on the trophy, and they can’t string three passes together.

Whatever the result this has been a hall of shame display from Arsenal. Really poor in all phases.

This weather was always gonna make this tricky. Toss up from here. Liverpool will get chances some point. Arsenal need to take theirs before they’re chasing the game

What an awful half for Arsenal. Odegaard dribbling out of the box at the end epitomizes our impotence

I think a lot of the Gyokeres discourse has been very harsh. People underestimate how difficult it is to come to the PL, let alone step right into one of the best teams and play every match with a group who have played together for years.

Listened to the @arsenalvpodcast.bsky.social IR and Elliot is right: Our chances rest with Bukayo Saka meeting the moment. If he can’t finish, we won’t win.

Gotta be honest: not a chance Arsenal win the title if they don’t start finishing games better both in front of goal and closing up shop at the back.
Disappointing again today

Arsenal in full control. Only scored the one goal. You know what that means. I’d guess 68th minute for a jammy Brighton penalty
