It’s been open season on martinelli tonight. How many fouls on him. Lost count.

 

[Judd2Sewell]

**** me, no away goal rules is ****ed

 

[Judd2Sewell]

Saliba injured. Why the **** are we playing a full strength side.

 

[tigs2010]

Not watching, is Ramsdale getting anywhere near these?

 

[Judd2Sewell]

We didn’t

7/11 starters and then we brought all the other starters on in replacement of the 4 that weren't regulars. All of our starters have featured heavily in a long 120m game.

They want to win mate

 

[charcoalchicken]

We’re out

Yes. Got hands on two of them. The third penalty he really should’ve saved.

Martinelli misses and that’s that. Damn. Their keeper was immense.

 

[tigs2010]

Ahh well. Focus on the league.

 

[windyhill]

Too good Sporting.

 

[onthehill24]

Yep and try finish top 2 to get direct champs spot

 

[glenferry23]

Really need to win this weekend vs Palace, and get those 3 points prior to the international break. Many first XI players have played 120 minutes tonight and at least theres no travel back from tonight and this weekend will be at home too.

As much as I lean into the “yes just focus on the league”, clearly the EL provides many benefits for the club and you can see how gutted Arteta and the players are.

 

[charcoalchicken]

Shit happens, we move, sole focus on the league title, think it increases our chances of nabbing it as city’s focus will be more on CL imo

 

[Judd2Sewell]

If Saliba is out for an extended period we are done. Is there any word on his injury?

The players are going to be cooked after that. Hopefully we bounce back and this doesn't take a mental toll on them.

It’ll come out over next couple of days, hopefully not too bad, he was hobbling off, I think Tomi’s injury was worse but who knows

 

[glenferry23]

Tomiyasu looked worse, the way his knee moved when he lost balance. Damn. Saliba supposedly a lower back injury however just going to have to wait to find out.

 

[Johnny_Dogg4]

prob a good result we are out of this shit comp.
less fatigue on the players with those extra games

 

[dirty2]

Well... That's disappointing... But if I got to choose which trophy to bring home the premier league is what I want.

 

[glenferry23]

The league title is certainly the preference. Interesting contrast with City, who are still going deep in 3 competitions now compared with Arsenal with only league matches remaining.

 

[glenferry23]

Precautionary perhaps, not uncommon to see them in crutches straight after a match.

 

[charcoalchicken]

Tomi another guy who is constantly picking up injuries

 

[Johnny_Dogg4]

we need a proper RB. Tomi and white isnt the answer

 

[AG]

I get the league is the focus but still extremely frustrating. Still expect City to end up with the title, so the cups this year have been disappointing.

 

[Crow-eater]

Disappointing result, compounded by the injuries. Our squad depth is still an issue. Hopefully Saliba is okay. Having 1 game a week should help us in the run home.

Need to bounce back on Sunday and go 8 points clear, then cling on for dear life.

 

[glenferry23]

Another ****ing new manager bounce incoming. Geez.
