@FPL_Gaurav I think Gvardiol nicks it because of the CS odds. But feel Munoz has the higher ceiling

Waktu Arsenal menang, banyak orang geram karena pendekatan permainan mereka.

Waktu Arsenal kalah, semua dirasa sudah layak dan sepantasnya.

Padahal di final UCL vs PSG, terlihat jelas bahwa merekalah yg menguasai pertandingan. Merekalah yg nyaman setidaknya hingga menit 70an..

Kontrol bukan dilihat penguasaan bola. Bukan juga soal jumlah percobaan tembakan.

Kontrol adalah bagaimana kita bisa memaksa lawan untuk bermain di luar zona nyaman mereka. Mengikuti alur yg kita ciptakan. Arsenal melakukan itu selama satu jam lebih di laga final.

Keputusan mereka untuk memenuhi area sentral memaksa PSG hanya bisa main melebar.

Keputusan mereka menempatkan 4 bek tengah sebagai tembok di depan gawang tidak meninggalkan lubang.

Joao Neves & Fabian Ruiz yg biasa siap menyambut umpan tarik dari sayap kesulitan mendapat ruang.

Vitinha yg biasa bisa membawa bola dengan leluasa dan melepaskan umpan berkelas untuk membebaskan Kvara, Doue, dan Dembele, dikunci sebelum bisa beraksi.

Arsenal baru mulai goyang ketika Gyokeres dan Timber masuk. Mereka memiliki peran serta area yg berbeda dengan Odegaard & Mosquera.

Bahkan sejak pergantian itu, PSG mulai leluasa, sampai Barcola hampir sukses menciptakan gol kemenangan dengan aksi individunya.

Ternyata Arsenal selamat dan terus bisa mengimbangi PSG hingga adu penalti. Tanpa tiga penendang utamanya (Saka, Odegaard, dan Havertz) anak-anak asuh Arteta akhirnya kalah.

Namun mereka layak mendapatkan apresiasi. Mereka harus menerima kekalahan ini dengan kepala tetap terangkat tinggi.

Apa yg mereka capai musim ini, sudah jauh di atas ekspektasi.

Apabila bisa melanjutkan momentum ini, bukan tidak mungkin dalam waktu dekat mereka mendapat kesempatan bermain di final UCL lagi 👏👏🫡

I do think Football social media caters for a totally different audience nowadays.

There’s no nuance or genuine discussion. It’s all just baiting reactions from people.

Maybe I’m too old

[Sam/FIFA Brit @FIFABrit]

Not surprised that people are immediately trying to write revisionist history about the game today. That’s what idiots do

-Arsenal scored from open play. PSG could not

-PSG needed a penalty, conceded by Arsenal’s 3rd string RB, to score at all

-Outside of that penalty, PSG did not record a shot on target inside the box until the 117th minute

-PSG needed a penalty shootout to win the game

Casual fans will look at the possession and the shots, without understanding that Arsenal allowed PSG to have the ball and shoot it from non-threatening areas on purpose

At the end of the day, PSG deserved to win, because they stepped up when it mattered

But anybody suggesting that Arsenal didn’t play well, or didn’t execute their plan to perfection, is either lying to you for interactions, or they are genuinely incapable of analyzing the game that they just watched

It really is that simple, at the end of the day

🚨Rice “Mikel is gutted but he spoke about how much he loves us. I think we have come so far as a club. When I came to this club it was a QF exit then a Semi Final exit and now a final exit. One more step and we go again.

One thing about us, this wont define us.
We will be back”

[HandofArsenal @HandofArsenal]

Hand on heart, I dont feel sad at all. Im so fucking proud of this group. Won us a PL after 22 years and took us to a UCL final. Kings who will be remembered forever. 99% of Europe would want our season.

Thank you Mikel and Thank you Arsenal.

I recognise my football club again.

Arsenal finished 2nd then won the Premier League with the third most missed matches from injuries.

Spurs finished 17th twice. Chelsea and Newcastle dropped out of Champions League places and missed out on Europe in totality this season.

If Arsenal keep players fit next year, it's a 90-point season, and we win the league again.
