If you can get him to sign a 1+1, I'd be totally fine. He's been our best midfielder this year. Transition him to the Jorginho role as a new DM (presumably Zubimendi) adapts to the league

If you assume the 3 below us in the table (City, Forest & Newcastle) win out, Forest would have the highest point total at 75. So we currently need 9 pts out of the last 4 games to guarantee 2nd. 8 pts and Forest not not being able to outscore us by 20 would still get the job done. Our last 4 are Bournemouth (H), Pool (A), Newcastle (H), Southampton (A). Southampton should be a gimme. Bournemouth should be a tough win. Pool & Newcastle will be tough but if we can win one or figure out how to tie both we should be good.wangus12 said:
Welp 3rd is back on the menu. If we find a way to finish behind City again....
Forest - Brentford (H), Palace (A), Leicester (H), West Ham (A), Chelsea (H)
City - Wolves (H), Southampton (A), Bournemouth (H), Fulham (A)
Newcastle - Ipswich (H), Brighton (A), Chelsea (H), Arsenal (A), Everton (H)
Forest has a decent chance to win out but there are atleast 2-3 tricky games there, especially if Chelsea are still in the running for an EL/CL spot.
City's schedule looks the most winnable but they have been off all season. Think the next 2 are borderline gimme's. Could see a slip up on the last 2.
Newcastle's biggest obstacle will be us and Chelsea but they will scrapping until the end, especially with CL on the line.
Agreed. Like I said, he's an insurance policy for Zubi (or whoever we sign). If you get a 1+1 and the new DM does well next season, just don't pick up the option and go snag a young DM summer '26.wangus12 said:

Rumors circulating are claiming that he would be ok with a 2 or 1+1. I'm curios what kind of salary he is gonna expect.
Quote from Orny via NBC Sports.....
Curious if Huijsen is seen as a Kiwior replacement or if we expect to lose one of Gabi/Saliba this summer?

At least we didn't lose.
And in the most important news of the day, Ornstein says Arsenal wants to keep Partey. It's gonna get ugly.
No thanks.

Interesting note from Sky Sports post match..... Carragher says that we have 1 more season with Nwaneri playing in a backup/rotational role at which point he will be too good to keep off the pitch. He then suggested that one of he or Saka would end up taking MOs spot in the starting lineup. I hate to agree with him because I think MO is phenomenal but if he doesn't have a rebound season next year, there is a really good chance that Nwaneri takes his spot.
My additional commentary, I believe that for the sake of both MO & Nwaneri's production going forward, it may be best if we moved back to a double pivot. Rice can still keep doing what he is currently doing in a double pivot but with that formation we would have a true #10 role that would allow more offensive creativity/freedom. Would also allow us to make an easy shift to a 4-4-2 with Havertz playing the #10 as a SS.

Maybe, but I'd also say that Nwaneri's form has definitely dropped compared to what he was doing in the winter when he was really hot.

Tottenham prove again today what a worthless waste of space they are
It's too bad the bottom 3 were historically bad this year, would have been fun to watch Spurs and United fight to stay up

Need the men to copy the women again and knock a french team out of the semi's
If we found a way into the final and even better won the whole thing, it would 100% make up for 3 straight years of finishing 2nd in league.
Have to be absolutely clinical tomorrow + no stupid mistakes. I feel like a lot of our dropped games this entire season has been down to our own mistakes rather than teams straight up beating us.

That and terrible ref decisions. Saw a compilation the other day that showed 6 games games that we ended dropping 12 pts from a winning position due to a poor/controversial ref decision (4 reds + 2 PKs).wangus12 said:

Quote from Enrique yesterday
We played against PSG you jackass. Hope we have another great showing and punch them in the mouth. I do think this is going to be a much tougher match this go round, especially without Partey

Question: Arsenal are very strong at home. They haven't lost a single CL home game. What makes Arsenal so strong at the Emirates and how can you make them doubt themselves?
Enrique: "Those are positive stats for them, but you have to look at who they played against"

🧱 Saliba at the back
🤝 Merino partners Rice
🪄 Trossard leads the line
Let's do this - together 👊
COYG!!!
Damn! Too easy!
Not the start Arsenal needed. Let's hope they can work into this as PSG are playing well so far this match.
Bad start. Should have given up a penalty. Terrible foul call against Saka (the ref's assistant was RIGHT THERE what was he thinking) but Saka can't react like that.
And Martinelli reminds us once again this squad needs to prioritize finishing in the summer.

Marti with a great run on a great feed from MLS, but he again is unable to punch it in. My biggest gripe with Marti is with all the speed and change of pace he brings, his ball control in final third and finishing continue to be suspect.
Let's hope the second half picks up where the first half left off for the Gunners!

Hey, that was impressive how he didn't dribble it over the line for a goal kick.AggieRob93 said:

Not sure if off or not hard to figure out which body he was.
Officials have been poor.bad calls both ways

I think they could have called others for blocking him off…bummer though
If we can stay down 1-0 we're still in it though
Ref has been incredibly inconsistent and poor. Based on the card precedent he set at the beginning of the match, PSG deserve atleast 2-3 more yellows.
