I said um D you know what to say in front I have a There's a lot to say about this game, so good luck, you'll have to help me keep the pill of structured bits to swallow, very similar to Villa's. One felt that our title was over.

I hope this one obviously ends officially. Our hope that you know. to Wembley in June, we won't go to Bayern, that's terrible because forgetting the season they are having, you can't forget it completely, but obviously they are a good team with good players and a very good manager, so we got it done, but there is something in us that every time we go out and you always have to recognize that there's another opposition, there's an Emory, there's a Thomas degree, these are good managers that get in our way and hold us back, you always have to recognize why.

Do I always feel like there's something in us that's also hindering us, whether it's mentally, tactically, physically, it's a lot of things, it's all these things? Then I feel angry and frustrated because again I feel like I forget how much football everyone else has played. By the way, it's like all these other teams are playing a lot of football. I just look at our team and again I think we absolutely blew it. I completely understand where you are coming from and you obviously mentioned the Villa Game. there and I think it was somewhat similar to The Villa game in the sense that I think we played really good football in the first half and then we came out for the second half and, for lack of a better word, we looked cowardly, would you agree ?

Yeah, okay, let's talk about Mikel Artetta now because I think the discussion about Artetta is very interesting when it comes to these two games. Let's say the first credit flew against um, actually, like against Bayern Munich. first game, but the mistakes, uh, worked well, they definitely did in the first 45 against Villa, um, and I thought it was a decent first half away from home B because we slowed them down, we nullified them and then our football created some openings, not many, but me. Understand, you're not going to fully commit because you're worried about what they would do well, but the second half in both games changed now it could be physically, it could be that they did something tactically, we try to explore tactically within what Emy could have done differently , but the reality is that even he said I

didn

't do much.

I think two cor probably say the same thing. We

didn

't do much differently. Arsenal, although they started to lose some, started to lose a certain degree of control in the game. So Aretta has to react and then there are two things. I think he reacts a little late because he allows someone to correct me. so anyway they were gaining ascendancy, that goal came, I think in the 67th, 66th, 67th minute, I think you could see in the 60th minute that again we weren't really in control of this game like we were in the first half. and again we control, I say vaguely. so he's too late to react too and then when he does he takes out the only player who is helping us progress through them, say what you want about georgeno, you can get through him, he's weak, he's slow, he's 33 years, whatever you want to say, that guy knows. how to position himself to receive the ball from the centre-backs and then make a pass and, in fact, he is undoubtedly the best this season in the team at collecting that ball over the top.

CES used to play them, you know there are balls over the top on the right. Back, he did it for Ben White sacka, whoever he is, so we brought out possibly our most creative Outlet, as well as our outb, not our outb, but our goto to guide the core of our team and if you're going to take it. Out because he's not ready to play the rest of the game and they're physically getting on top of us. You have to call on a part of Thomas or you're gone. You know, you take away Georginia, you move the rice back but you get a Vier. or Smith R now, I'm not saying they're the answer, we all know they haven't been the answer this season, but at least you've got players on the field, we're done with Kai now before everyone starts saying ah. you're blaming Kai because something goes wrong and you're blaming Kai because I'm not blaming Kai because frankly he doesn't choose where he plays and he didn't sign, but I can't and I'm serious, I'm serious, Frank. and I might be wrong, maybe the game will evolve and by next season I'll look at it and be just this petty brain and micheletto's big Galaxy brain that understands all this much better, sorry for knocking you out, um, but midfielders. those who don't want the ball no longer exist in the modern game, there is no longer any midfielder who hangs on the furthest man waiting for a tackle or a ball over the top now against Villa I gave him credit I thought he was the first The half was quite good, In reality he was demanding the ball a little more to recover it, but they also had a high line, he had space to exploit.

I was watching today thinking I feel sorry for Rice, he's not really a ball progressor anyway, he can do it. He's not brilliant at it, he's compared to most but not to the level we need, like a part or Georgino and he was getting the ball and then Erard had to drop deeper and he just lingered so Tommy asked who isn't he? the best player. I had not read to reach tr is not the fastest I could run behind you wanted to achieve the feat there was no help the imbalance of that left side cost us enormously and Kai was not he is not the only one who sacka had a bad game.

I thought the way we handled the last 5 10 minutes with some free throws. Corners was shocking. I thought Erard wasn't into it today. Jayus. I think he tried. He definitely tried, but again. I know you're offside, but at least. gets the ball on target, if it goes in the back of the net, at least we'll have a proper review, but he absolutely Shanks, his shot has been so poor, so I'm sorry I'm just going off on a tangent, but my point main is my main point. The frustration was that you need to earn the right to play games.

Villa, the second half was the same, this game 20 25 minutes ago was the same and you earn the right by having players, you are going to give me the ball, yes, I will demand a small space and I will give it and I will go and turn and do something. I would prefer him to put TR hard in midfield, pull the forwards forward and put Jayus on the left, so I'm not going to Lie, although I can praise Etta's efforts for the way she led this team and led us to a certain point in terms of having a decent first half.

C played very well in the first half against Villa. Your job doesn't end when the whistle blows. You have to manage the team at all times and you can hear that I am passionately frustrated by this departure. It's another cup exit when we feel like we shouldn't have gone out. That's the other thing: getting out of the cup when we feel this. and save a good team, but we feel like we shouldn't. I've rambled now, but I think what he did in midfield cost us a lot, and obviously what you did in midfield that you mentioned is putting Kai's habits back there.

Many people potentially wanted the Kai habits to be the ones that emerged instead of the changes that were made in Georgino and Martinelli. What do you think he's seeing here because we've seen it in the past? You already know the Kai habits in The midfield experiment hasn't worked, why do you think it continues to persist? Sorry for trying this, like I said, Artetta could make something up. You know, I remember. I'm not saying he's not as good as this guy in his prime, but Del Alli when he was in his prime, he had a bit of a floating position, but he got big spaces and you'd have Kane, who you know would make a run for it against Kane, you would have a son who would also be racing.

I would have Erikson, but our team is not made for that, our team is made to progress and play through the lines and whatever, and yes, Tottenham did it on those occasions too, but I just look at our team, which It's more comparable to City stylistically, let's say, and I know it. We have our own differences, when is it Pep Guardiola, when is it him and Klopp, what have they ever wanted a player whose best attributes are without the ball? Now yes, you are going to have players who must be brilliant without the ball. IM not talking.

Defenders, I'm talking about attacking players, yes you have players who also do brilliant things without the ball and help, but first and you almost have that touch, do you demand the ball? Can you turn a player? Can you drive to space? play a new one can you make an inventive pass? can you get shot from afar? can you push very aggressively? he doesn't offer that and this isn't about that, it's about Kai H, it's not all up to him, I think Saaka faded, but again, what's up? Martinelli. It always comes out it's Martinelli why it's always Martinelli I wasn't having a great game it was zaka no it definitely wasn't ja definitely not me at least at least maybe see if Kimich is getting tired maybe then Mars comes to life Martin is one of our biggest players unpredictable instead, we hug Trad on the touchline, who has less rhythm than a tired Martinelli to overcome them.

I'm just going on, I'm just ranting, let me try to give a final line. I've ranted a lot on this, there's no shame in going out against Bayern Munich in the Champions League quarter-finals. Before BLLs started the season people had them as their favorites or one of them just UNH Harry Kane players they had but this was a hugely missed opportunity with the first leg and the first leg in both games. I feel like we could have done it. much more, we could have got a draw here and we could and should have won at the Emirates, we blew our knees, we botched it, we made mistakes, whatever B weren't B were good, you have to give them some credit for the too first.

EG's second leg I don't think they were special, but they defended quite well, our season is not over, the players cannot sink into this streak they had last season, 15 points out of 30 in the 10 games of the consecutive season before that, 15 points out of 30 in the 10 consecutive games is now three games those who win again this does not become a player this becomes a manager thing for another year and we have seen it many times when Arsenal has a bump in the road a bump in the road Sorry, they do a series of 34 fives, we can't do that again, we have to recover quickly, we have to win the next two Premier League games and ask Manchester City, are you going to be perfect?

We have to not lose all hope. I have a feeling City could drop points once again, but it doesn't matter if we can't muster the kind of momentum and consistency that is needed to win the title and that we have shown more often than not. 20 20 24 I'm not even proud of the team's efforts to get to this point, but the last two games, these second halves just weren't good

enough

in any aspect physically, tactically, mentally, but I think the players can get out of this.
